”.
The piece, which was published on April 21, satirically compared President Donald Trump to Hitler and criticized Maher's commendation of Trump. Maher had previously described the president as “gracious and measured” when recounting their dinner together, according to RedState.
David's Op-Ed, which drew parallels between Trump and Hitler, was not well-received by Maher. “This wasn’t my favorite moment of our friendship. I think the minute you play the ‘Hitler’ card, you’ve lost the argument,” Maher retorted. He further defended his stance, stating, “Hitler, Nazis — nobody has been harder, and more prescient I must say, about Donald Trump than me. I don’t need to be lectured on who Donald Trump is. Just the fact that I met him in person didn’t change that. The fact that I reported honestly is not a sin either.”

Maher also expressed his disapproval of the comparison made in the Op-Ed, arguing that it was disrespectful to the memory of the Holocaust victims. “First of all, it’s kind of insulting to six million dead Jews,” he said. “It’s an argument you kind of lost just to start it. Look, maybe it’s not completely logically fair, but Hitler has really kind of got to stay in his own place. He is the GOAT of evil. We’re just going to have to leave it like that.”

Despite the disagreement, Maher expressed hope for a possible reconciliation with David. “I don’t want to make this constantly personal with me and Larry. We might be friends again,” Maher said. He emphasized the importance of dialogue and understanding, even in the face of political disagreement. “There’s got to be a better way than hurling insults and not talking to people. If I can talk to Trump, I can talk to Larry David too.”

David's Op-Ed was a satirical piece that imagined a fictitious dinner between Hitler and one of his critics in 1939. The piece was a thinly veiled critique of Maher's dinner with Trump, suggesting that engaging with a figure like Trump was akin to dining with Hitler. The piece ended with the critic giving Hitler a Nazi salute and walking out into the night, a clear jab at Maher's interaction with Trump.

The debate between Maher and David underscores the deep political divisions that exist within the United States. It also highlights the importance of dialogue and understanding in the face of disagreement, a sentiment that Maher has consistently advocated for. Whether or not Maher's approach is the correct one remains a topic of debate, but his willingness to engage with those he disagrees with is a testament to his commitment to open dialogue and understanding.
