Trump Tweets Out A Clip Of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' That Makes Fun Of Him

Well, it looks like President Trump might need to create a Secretary of Comedy for his administration because it appears he is having some trouble understanding satire. In a tweet that naturally went viral, President Trump posted a video of a scene from a recent Curb Your Enthusiasm episode that directly mocks Trump and his supporters. In another scene from the episode, the MAGA hat is even referred to as a "people repellant."

Not only did the President enjoy the clip of a foul-mouthed motorcyclist harassing Larry David's character by tweeting "TOUGH GUYS FOR TRUMP," he also pinned the original tweet, but also retweeted it a few hours later. Soon, Larry David's name began to trend, with many wondering on Twitter if the President didn't understand he was the butt of the joke.

The reality of the President not understanding comedy was almost too much for people.

One user pointed out the other ways the episode had poked fun of Trump's supporters.

The fact that the video footage looked like it was filmed on a phone brought delight to some.

Perhaps Trump had not seen the rest of the episode?

Nothing better than realDonaldTrump</a> tweeting out a clip from Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry David wears a MAGA hat to repel others. Very apparent that he didn’t watch this episode. 😂😂 <a href="https://t.co/hCXgP9sSHQ">https://t.co/hCXgP9sSHQ</a></p>&mdash; Steve Weichert (SteveWeichert) February 11, 2020

 
Pinning a tweet makes all users notice that tweet first when viewing a profile, so Trump choosing this one, was quite the statement.

So Larry David is making fun of trump but trump is so incredibly dumb he thinks he’s not? pic.twitter.com/mgcnM7M5s4

Many were flabbergasted by the President not realizing he was being made fun of by the comedian.

Congratulations to Donald Trump for being too stupid to realize he’s the punchline of the Larry David video he just tweeted.

Some even tried to imagine how his advisors were handling the tweet.

After this tweet went viral, a clip of Larry David addressing the episode in a 92Y interview from January also began to spread like wildfire. If President Trump was in fact not aware of Larry David's feelings towards his supporters, he definitely knows now.

.realdonaldTrump</a> should totally tweet this clip of Larry David talking about what <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MAGA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MAGA</a> hat-wearing fans of Curb should do: <a href="https://t.co/0C5T9IOmu5">pic.twitter.com/0C5T9IOmu5</a></p>&mdash; Ali A.
