"See, I woke up Saturday morning to a blistering social media text from him. Went on and on. Valentine's Day, by the way," Maher said. "He was very mad at me because I didn't get his joke about how China is gonna make Canada give up hockey. You know, I think we're going to have to workshop that one for a while."

"Sometimes in life you waste time!" Trump began the post. "T.V. Host Bill Maher asked to have dinner with me through one of his friends, also a friend of mine, and I agreed. He came into the famed Oval Office much different than I thought he would be. 

"He was extremely nervous, had ZERO confidence in himself and, to soothe his nerves, immediately, within seconds, asked for a 'Vodka Tonic.' He said to me, 'I've never felt like this before, I'm actually scared.' In one respect, it was somewhat endearing!"

Trump went on to call the "Real Time" host a "highly overrated LIGHTWEIGHT" whose television ratings "are so low that nobody will learn about his various Fake News statements" about him.

Maher addressed these insults from the president directly, saying, "[Trump] went off on me and said, you know, the dinner we had was a waste of time. Well, I didn't think it was. And then I'm a jerk, and I'm at low ratings, lightweight, and all this s---. Because I never stopped criticizing him. I never said I would."

The late-night host joked that he now knows "how women feel" when a guy "buys you dinner and then expects you to put out," adding that he's "not that guy."

Aside from responding to Trump's attacks over him being critical of his administration, Maher also addressed the president's claim that he "immediately" asked for a cocktail upon arriving at the White House.

"And a lot of other stuff he said that wasn't really true, that, you know, I immediately asked for a drink. OK, 'he immediately wanted a vodka,'" he recalled. "OK, it was a margarita. It was not a vodka, and it wasn't immediately. I had a drink before dinner, as people do."

Maher also denied that he was nervous or scared, as Trump claimed in his post.

"He said, I was nervous and scared, no confidence. Bulls---!" he declared. "It's so funny, because I got so much s--- from the left for reporting honestly that, in person, he was very different, very nice, very gracious. And then he says, 'No, he was scared.'"

"I'm like the Democrats with an election. I just can't win!" Maher concluded.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.

After his visit to the White House, Maher described the meeting with Trump as cordial and even gave the president a few compliments.
