Rob Reiner Gets In One Last Dig At Trump In Surprise Final Acting Role Alongside Larry David—And It's A Mic Drop
The episode's director, Jeff Schaffer, told Variety that the sketch gave Reiner the last laugh in his adversarial relationship with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump. The current POTUS had only negative things to say about the beloved couple, Reiner and his wife Michele, when they were murdered late last year, drawing widespread backlash from even members of MAGA.
Of Reiner's appearance in the episode, Schaffer said:
"It’s coming out on Fourth of July weekend, and if it in any way spoils a sad octogenarian’s weekend, then oh well!"
You can watch the sketch here:
In the sketch, Reiner's Washington tells a gathered crowd he won't seek a third term and says Congress can pass a constitutional amendment to prohibit future presidents from staying in power.
The first POTUS as portrayed by Reiner said:
"I believe that no man should serve more than two terms as President, and I hope that future Presidents will follow my lead."
David's character, a member of the crowd, asks:
"Well, what if there’s some a**hole in office, some narcissistic prick who doesn’t follow the Constitution?"
A long, but not comprehensive, laundry list of Trump's offenses follow in the sketch, delivered mainly by Larry David.
David's character adds:
"He could use the presidency to enrich himself and his family. He could send troops into American cities to terrorize and even kill American citizens, all to distract from the fact that he’s friends with a pedophile!"
The cherry on top for many people was comedian Jimmy Kimmel's inclusion in the sketch and the fact Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America is being produced, in part, by Michelle and Barack Obama.
People found Reiner's Washington to be a fitting final role for the beloved artist and activist.

People in the entertainment subReddit speculated on Trump’s response to the sketch, expecting the POTUS to keep it classy.

As the son of actor, artist, and jazz singer Estelle and comedian, actor, writer, and director Carl Reiner, Rob Reiner grew up in Hollywood.
After some minor roles in film and television, Rob Reiner, at the age of 23, became a star in his own right after landing the part of Michael Stivic on Norman Lear's critically acclaimed All In The Family in 1971.
He transitioned from roles in front of the camera to those behind it, directing many beloved films across multiple film genres, including The Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally..., and Misery.
Trump Ripped After Mocking Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni With Bizarre 'Restraining Order' Meme
You can see his post below.

Trump shared the post weeks after he claimed Meloni begged for a photo with him at the G7 summit and said her popularity is doing "poorly."
Trump and Meloni appeared cordial during the G7 summit, with photographers capturing the two leaders in conversation. Meloni later told reporters that their relationship remained unchanged and that there had been “no recriminations” between them.
But shortly afterward, Trump struck a different tone during a phone interview with Italy's La7 television channel, claiming that Meloni had been eager to be seen with him:
“She begged me to take a photo with her; I felt sorry for her. She’s probably happy I spoke to her.”
Soon afterward, an interaction between Meloni and Trump at the summit went viral—footage that appears to be the moment he has repeatedly referenced since.
But then in a Truth Social post not too long after that, Trump revived his claim and argued that Meloni is struggling politically in Italy, accusing her of not backing U.S. efforts to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Meloni later pushed back on the claim in a post on Instagram, arguing that access to Italian facilities is governed by existing agreements that “cannot be violated as long as I am prime minister." She advised him "my popularity is none of your concern" and recommended, "I suggest you focus on yours."
The feud appeared to fade from public attention for a couple of weeks before Trump reignited the episode with his "restraining order" post—and people can't help but rip him for his own obsession with Meloni.
Meloni has not responded to Trump's outburst. That's probably wise.
However, they are expected to run into each other this week at the NATO Summit in Turkey so don't be surprised if Trump responds with an angry outburst again.
Gay Baseball Fan Opens Up About Painful Homophobic Encounter At White Sox Game To Show Why Pride Nights Are So Important
Instagrammer and Chicagoan Bill Nesnidal has enjoyed exploring the Windy City for years and has a special place in his heart, thanks to his family roots, for the Chicago White Sox and Rate Field.
Last week, Nesnidal recounted the first summer that he and his partner, Paul, started dating long-distance, leading to long stretches of time in which they did not see each other. During that particular summer, Paul only came to the city twice, and during one of those visits, they shared a negative experience neither of them would ever forget.
Because of his love of baseball and especially the White Sox, Nesnidal wanted to share the experience of going to the stadium with Paul, including watching the game, touring the space to enjoy its impressive variety of food, and watching the fireworks.
At one point, Nesnidal remembered putting his arm around Paul's shoulders, only for someone to shout from behind them that they "didn't want to see that." Later, they shared a kiss while Nesnidal thanked Paul for sharing this experience with him, and they were met with more hateful comments that they were "ruining" the experience for everyone with their public displays of affection.
At this, Nesnidal physically distanced himself somewhat from Paul, realizing that the comments were meant for them.
After they returned home, Paul started crying and made a comment that stayed with Nesnidal:
"This is why I mostly only go to Queer spaces."
"Why would I ever want to go to an event where I could feel like this?"
"There's been such a push against Pride nights, the waving of the Pride flag... But this is the exact reason for it."
You can watch the video here:
Viewers were supportive of Nesnidal and agreed with his thoughts on the importance of Pride nights.

Paul also spoke up in the comments.

This is something that may not feel important to a person until they are personally impacted by it, either themselves or vicariously through someone they love. But safe spaces are important for all, and it's important to fight for more Pride spaces and events.
