Larry David’s latest piece compares Bill Maher dinner with Trump to dinner with Hitler

The meltdown over Bill Maher’s dinner with President Donald Trump is continuing with Larry David, who naturally compared the moment to who else but Adolf Hitler.

David penned a satirical piece for the New York Post‘s op-ed section in which he pretended he was invited to a dinner hosted by Hitler. It was meant as a jab at Maher for accepting a chance to break bread with Trump, whom he had criticized endlessly since his first administration.

“Imagine my surprise when, in the spring of 1939, a letter arrived at my house inviting me to dinner at the Old Chancellery with the world’s most reviled man, Adolf Hitler. I had been a vocal critic of his on the radio from the beginning, pretty much predicting everything he was going to do on the road to dictatorship,” David wrote. “No one I knew encouraged me to go. ‘He’s Hitler. He’s a monster.’ But eventually I concluded that hate gets us nowhere. 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.”

The unhinged comparison continued with David invoking the name of Hitler’s greatest allies.

“Two weeks later, I found myself on the front steps of the Old Chancellery and was led into an opulent living room, where a few of the Führer’s most vocal supporters had gathered: Himmler, Göring, Leni Riefenstahl, and the Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII. We talked about some of the beautiful art on the walls that had been taken from the homes of Jews. But our conversation ended abruptly when we heard loud footsteps coming down the hallway. Everyone stiffened as Hitler entered the room,” he said.

“Göring immediately grabbed a slice of pumpernickel, whereupon Hitler turned to me, gave me an eye roll, then whispered, ‘Watch. He’ll be done with his entire meal before you’ve taken two bites.’ That one really got me. Göring, with his mouth full, asked what was so funny, and Hitler said, ‘I was just telling him about the time my dog had diarrhea in the Reichstag.’ Göring remembered. How could he forget? He loved that story, especially the part where Hitler shot the dog before it got back into the car. Then a beaming Hitler said, ‘Hey, if I can kill Jews, Gypsies and homosexuals, I can certainly kill a dog!’ That perhaps got the biggest laugh of the night — and believe me, there were plenty,” the piece continues.

The fantasy scenario ends with David giving Hitler the Nazi salute and walking away from the dinner satisfied.

“Two hours later, the dinner was over, and the Führer escorted me to the door. ‘I am so glad to have met you. I hope I’m no longer the monster you thought I was.’ ‘I must say, mein Führer, I’m so thankful I came. Although we disagree on many issues, it doesn’t mean that we have to hate each other.’ And with that, I gave him a Nazi salute and walked out into the night,” the piece concludes.
