Larry David doesn't care if Trump supporters are alienated by MAGA hat on 'Curb'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Larry David had strong words when asked in a recent interview if he was "afraid about alienating" Trump supporters for wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat in his HBO show, "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
Journalist Jimmy Traina shared a clip of David's January interview with Michael Kay after President Trump shared a scene from "Curb" where David discovers that wearing the iconic "MAGA" hat is a great "people repellent." He wears the hat around Los Angeles to avoid person-to-person contact.
Kay asks David: "There are people that wear the MAGA hat and like what the MAGA hat represents. Are you afraid about alienating them? They could be fans of the show?"

Critics piled on the president, accusing him of not understanding that the HBO series was mocking the use of the famous pro-Trump gear.
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" executive producer Jeff Schaffer described David's use of the "MAGA" hat to The Hollywood Reporter last month.
