Pulitzer Prize-winning screenwriter David Mamet has recalled once receiving a lengthy phone call from Donald Trump after he dared not to go all in on the then-former president’s 2020 election conspiracy theories.
Trump loyalist Mamet, appearing on Bill Maher’s “Club Random Podcast” this week, remembered being “kind of iffy” about whether the election had been stolen from Trump during an appearance on Maher’s HBO show, “Real Time.”
At 8 a.m. the following day, the Hollywood veteran said he received a call from Trump who told him: “I saw you on Bill Maher yesterday, you were great. But you wussed out on the question of the stolen election.”
Trump then “talked to me for like 20 minutes about how the election was stolen,” Mamet told Maher.
“But it wasn’t,” Maher reminded him.
