Bill Maher Responds To Larry David’s Satirical Op-Ed Comparing Trump Dinner To Dining With Hitler

Comedian Bill Maher has publicly addressed a satirical op-ed by longtime friend Larry David, which implicitly compared Maher’s dinner with former President Donald Trump to dining with Adolf Hitler.
In an interview with Piers Morgan, Maher criticized David’s piece, titled “My Dinner With Adolf,” stating, “This wasn’t my favorite moment of our friendship.” He added, “I think the minute you play the Hitler card, you’ve lost the argument.”
Maher emphasized that meeting with Trump and reporting the experience honestly does not signify support or moral compromise. The comedian said he found the president “gracious” and didn’t recognize him from his public persona.
David’s op-ed, published in The New York Times, parodied Maher’s April 11 monologue on Real Time With Bill Maher, where Maher described Trump as surprisingly personable in private. David’s satire involved a fictional encounter with Hitler, drawing parallels to Maher’s dinner with Trump.
