David has never held back his criticism of President Trump. Last year, he satirized comedian Bill Maher s dinner with Trump at the White House in a New York Times guest essay titled My Dinner with Adolf. Maher, who was raised Catholic but whose mother was Jewish, blasted the story as insulting to Holocaust victims. David is also Jewish.
