Overview
- On the November 21 season finale of Real Time, Maher criticized Larry David’s New York Times op-ed “My Dinner With Adolf” targeting his March dinner with President Trump.
- Maher said Hitler analogies are insulting and contended that invoking Nazis to describe Trump causes critics to lose the argument.
- Framing the president as a relationship-driven “people guy,” Maher urged more direct contact over isolation, saying shunning only ensures Trump is surrounded by loyalists.
- Maher asserted that Trump has been the most supportive U.S. president for Israel and Jews, presenting that claim as part of his rationale for engagement.
- He jabbed David for declining past invitations to appear on his show and, as of the latest coverage, no new response from David was reported.
