My Dinner With Adolf




Larry David satirized Bill Maher’s bright words about Trump ("My Dinner With Adolf,"
NYT, 4/21/25). Mahr’s equanimity (following a White House visit) sounds a little like Chamberlain's “I just had another conversation with Chancellor Herr Hitler…” speech before the invasion of the Sudetenland. Smerconish took exception to the humor. Trump isn’t Hitler was Smerconish’s argument. It diminishes the horror of The Holocaust to make such comparisons. But Trump is Hitler, in fact he is worse since he portrays himself as the jolly green giant while he summarily destroys everything in his path. Didn’t Trump once say he could walk down Fifth Avenue and kill? Isn’t that exactly what he is doing?
