President Donald Trump is getting dunked on from beyond the grave. The late Rob Reiner made a surprise appearance in the latest episode of Larry David’s new HBO comedy, “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America,” for which former President Barack Obama serves as a co-executive producer.

The best part of the sketch is that Trump is never named. Rather David — who plays a man in the crowd when Washington makes this announcement — uses his signature obnoxious contrarian character to express his concerns about Washington’s decree by raising highly specific examples of Trump’s abhorrent behavior.“What if some future president doesn’t follow your lead and runs for a third term?” David’s character asks Washington.Reiner’s Washington responds by saying that if that happens, Congress “can pass a constitutional amendment that would prohibit that.”“What if there’s some asshole in office, some narcissistic prick who doesn’t follow the Constitution?” David’s character retorts in a very obvious swipe at Trump.Larry David’s character in the George Washington sketch.John Johnson/HBOWashington goes on to explain that there’s protection thanks to the United States’ system of checks and balances. “Rest assured, even if this future president violated the Constitution, then the Congress of the United States and the United States Supreme Court would not allow it,” the first president says.“But what if the Supreme Court is a bunch of yes-men, and Congress is a bunch of pussies who care more about party than country?” David’s character shouts.Washington goes on to assure Americans there are multiple protections that would prevent a “sociopath” like Trump from retaining authoritarian control in the U.S. — all while David pokes holes in everything Washington mentions by using examples of things Trump has already done.At one point, David points out how a future president “can attack universities, even the free press, silencing anyone who dares to criticize him.”“Aw, c’mon. That can never happen,” interjects another person in the crowd, who just happens to be played by Jimmy Kimmel.“That’s what you think,” David responds.Jimmy Kimmel interviews then-Republican Presidential candidate Trump on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2015.

As if he were a big baby? … I don’t see it,” Kimmel’s character says in a clear reference to Trump’s attempt to get Kimmel’s talk show canceled because the late-night host regularly makes fun of him. “What duly elected president would do such a thing?” Reiner’s character asks. “An insecure, lying asshole, who would even cheat at golf.

Just months before his death, Reiner warned Americans that Trump would unleash a “full-on autocracy” on the country.“People have to understand our democracy is being taken away from us, and we only have about a year,” Reiner said while appearing on MSNBC in October 2025.Referring specifically to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and National Guard troops that were deployed to cities across the nation that were protesting the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdowns at the time, Reiner added:“Make no mistake, we have a year before this country becomes a full-on autocracy, and democracy completely leaves us.”
