COMMENTARY

By Tim Murtaugh - Thursday, April 24, 2025

OPINION:


Larry David didn’t even wait for Festivus before airing his grievances with Bill Maher.

The co-creator of “Seinfeld,” one of American television’s all-time classic sitcoms, the liberal Mr. David took to The New York Times to roast Mr. Maher, a lefty comedian and political commentator in his own right, for daring to have a meal with President
Trump.

In his opinion piece, ridiculously titled “My Dinner With Adolf,” Mr. David unimaginatively likened Mr.
Trump to one of history’s greatest monsters but only indicted himself and his fellow Democrats in the process. The Hitler shot is the laziest and weakest jab the left habitually throws at Mr. Trump, who has a daughter who converted to Judaism and grandchildren who are Jewish. On CNN, conservative contributor Scott Jennings correctly pointed out that Mr. David merely intended to intimidate the next liberal who might be tempted to meet with the president.

It is also true that Larry David built his hugely successful career on hyperbolizing his overreactions to normal things in society. He played a fictionalized version of himself in the popular HBO series “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” which completed its 12-season run last year. The show featured Mr. David obsessing over everyday situations to the point where he often became a public menace and the object of scorn from other characters.

On “Seinfeld,” it is widely known that the character of
George Costanza, often consumed by his inability to tolerate other people and the quirks of daily life, is largely based on Mr. David himself.

The truth is, if Mr. David is freaking out over one of his fellow Hollywood liberals breaking bread with Mr. Trump, then it probably means that normal people think it’s just fine. To Mr. David and the Democrats he channels, this was a betrayal of cosmic proportions, a violation of some unwritten code that says you can’t even talk to the other side without being excommunicated.

The Democratic position, as laid out by Mr. David, is like a “Seinfeld” script. Picture
George discovering that Jerry had gone to Monk’s Cafe with Newman. Now, imagine Mr. David reacting to the Maher-Trump meeting.

“Bill Maher had DINNER with TRUMP?” you can hear him shriek, voice cracking.
