Larry David Trolls Bill Maher’s Trump Meeting in ‘My Dinner With Adolf’ Op-Ed: ‘Private Hitler Was a Different Animal’

It feels safe to say that Larry David wasn’t impressed with Bill Maher’s recent dinner with President Donald Trump. The “Seinfeld” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” creator and star mocked the controversial meeting in a New York Times op-ed titled “My Dinner With Adolf.”
“My Dinner With Adolf” is exactly what it sounds like — David recounting having an imagined dinner with Adolf Hitler in 1939. From the very beginning, the piece alludes that it’s about Maher, taking shots at the comedian’s center-left politics and softening toward the sitting president.
“I knew I couldn’t change his views, but we need to talk to the other side — even if it has invaded and annexed other countries and committed unspeakable crimes against humanity,” David wrote in the Monday satire piece.
But as it continues, it becomes clear that it’s less of a nod to Maher and more of a barely veiled takedown.
