Maher Criticizes David’s Trump-Hitler Satire

Bill Maher has strongly criticized Larry David's satirical New York Times essay 'My Dinner With Adolf,' which parodied Maher's recent dinner with Donald Trump by comparing it to dining with Adolf Hitler. Maher, appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, called the use of Hitler in satire about Trump 'insulting to six million dead Jews' and said invoking the Holocaust in this context is inappropriate. He emphasized that meeting with Trump did not lessen his longstanding criticism of the former president or imply endorsement. Maher expressed disappointment in David's use of the 'Hitler card,' arguing it undermines political debate, but noted their ongoing friendship. New York Times editors clarified that David's piece was intended as satire about seeing people as they are, not a direct comparison between Trump and Hitler. Maher has not spoken to David since the essay but remains open to reconciliation.
