'A befuddled mess': Trump melts down on HBO's Bill Maher and guests in wild rant

Early Saturday morning, Donald Trump went on a wild scattershot rant that began with him attacking HBO "Real Time" host Bill Maher and then spread to MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle and columnist Bret Stephens.

Hours after the three appeared on Real Time late Friday night, the former president took to his Truth Social platform to lash out at them before complaining they were talking about him.

"The ratings challenged Bill Maher, on his increasingly boring show on HBO, is really having a hard time coping with TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. He is a befuddled mess, sloppy and tired, and every conversation, with B and C list guests, seems to start with, or revert back to, ME! This week he had 'dumb as a rock' bimbo Stephanie Ruhle, from MSDNC, on the show, along with a Trump hating loser, Bret Stephens, who seemed totally confused and unsure of himself, very much like Maher himself," he wrote.

He then went off in a different direction, writing, "Steven’s (sic) should find himself another line of work because I am driving the FAILING New York Times absolutely crazy, and it is very hard, perhaps impossible, for a writer to write well of me without suffering the wrath of the degenerate editors who, with a push from the top, have gone insane."

"They apologized to their readers in 2016 for their complete and total MISS, and they’ll do it again in November. The FAILING New York Times is a badly run “newspaper” that has totally lost its way. Put it to sleep!" he added.
