On April 21, 2025, ''[[The New York Times]]'' published an opinion essay by David titled "My Dinner With Adolf".<ref>{{Cite news |last=David |first=Larry |date=2025-04-21 |title=Opinion {{!}} Larry David: My Dinner With Adolf |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/opinion/larry-david-hitler-dinner.html |access-date=2025-04-27 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Framed as a fictional 1939 dinner between the narrator and [[Adolf Hitler]], the satirical piece uses [[Black comedy|dark humor]] to explore how personal charm can dangerously obscure the true nature of monstrous people. Without directly naming any contemporary figures, the essay mirrors the language [[Bill Maher]] used when describing his dinner with [[Donald Trump]]. Despite being a longtime critic of Trump, Maher characterized Trump as "gracious and measured" in private.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Robinson |first=KiMi |title=Bill Maher's full monologue on his Donald Trump meeting: Read the transcript |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2025/04/12/bill-maher-donald-trump-full-monologue/83055277007/ |access-date=2025-04-27 |website=USA TODAY |language=en-US}}</ref>
