ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel made a cameo appearance on Larry David’s Obama-produced HBO program on July 3 to attack President Donald Trump.

Longtime Trump critic Rob Reiner, who was killed late last year, made a posthumous appearance as George Washington, who announced he will not seek a third term in office and proposed Congress pursue a constitutional amendment prohibiting presidential power on “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America.” The new HBO satire series, which touts Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as executive producers, lampooned Trump without saying his name.

David’s character, dressed in colonial attire, asked, “Well, what if there’s some a—— in office, some narcissistic p—- who doesn’t follow the Constitution?”

Reiner’s Washington stressed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power before David’s character interjects, warning that the president could attack the free press to silence criticism. Then another man in the crowd, played by fellow longtime Trump antagonist Kimmel, came into focus.

“Come on, that could never happen,” Kimmel’s character shouted.

David’s character snarked, “That’s what you think.”

“Are you suggesting that the president would taketh the time to challenge anyone who dare make fun of him, as if he were a big baby? I don’t see it,” Kimmel’s character said.

Kimmel, who earlier this year joked that first lady Melania Trump had the glow of an “expectant widow,” has ramped up his liberal political commentary in recent years.

The “widow” joke went viral just days later when an armed assailant stormed a security checkpoint at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in April. Kimmel, who insisted it was a joke about Trump’s age and not an assassination jab, mocks Trump on a nightly basis.

Trump has repeatedly urged ABC to fire Kimmel, to no avail.

“When is ABC Fake News Network firing seriously unfunny Jimmy Kimmel, who incompetently presides over one of the Lowest Rated shows on Television? People are angry. It better be soon!!!” Trump wrote in April.

Last year, Kimmel was briefly suspended by Disney after controversial remarks about the assassination of Charlie Kirk sparked outrage, and ABC said the show would be preempted indefinitely. He returned to the air days later and insisted he never intended to make light of Kirk’s death.
