It doesn't seem like this conservative all star White House dinner is making much of anyone happy. Not long ago, Kid Rock, Donald Trump, Dana White, and Bill Maher all sat down for dinner. Kid Rock is already fuming that no one wants to cover his efforts in setting it all up. Moreover, it's not like anyone involved is getting much of a warm reception. It's gotten to the point where people are making fun of the event entirely. One prominent name mocking Trump and company is Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David. Particularly, he takes aim at Bill Maher for investing his time in the charade at all.

Recently, Larry David wrote an essay for The New York Times, slamming Maher's pleasantries about the U.S. president. Ultimately, the Real Time host spoke about trying to find the positives in Trump while having dinner with him. "Look, I get it. It doesn't matter who he is at a private dinner with a comedian. It matters who he is on the world stage. I'm just taking as a positive that this person exists. Because everything I've ever not liked about him was, I swear to God, absent at least on this night with this guy," Maher recalls.
Larry wasn't having any of it though.
Larry David Slams Bill Maher and Donald Trump in New York Times Essay
David satirizes Maher's niceties by writing about a theoretical dinner with Hitler. He sarcastically jokes about how if only people could see the good side of Adolf. "Suddenly he seemed so human," Larry writes. "Here I was, prepared to meet Hitler, the one I'd seen and heard — the public Hitler. But this private Hitler was a completely different animal. And oddly enough, this one seemed more authentic, like this was the real Hitler. The whole thing had my head spinning."
Admittedly pretty sharp and amusing but it's also pretty daring to publicly frame Trump in that lighting. The opinion editor for the New York Times Patrick Healy defends David's take and tries to explain its purpose. "Larry David, in a provocation of his own, is arguing that during a single dinner or a private meeting, anyone can be human, and it means nothing in the end about what they're capable of," Healy wrote.
