Larry David can’t understand why Trump ally is so obsessed with him

Donald Trump ally and former Jeffrey Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz, 87, has spent years stirring controversy on Martha’s Vineyard. But even as comedian, writer and producer Larry David appears to have moved on, Dershowitz’s fixation on him seems to persist.

David, known for his dry observational comedy, petty everyday disputes, and painfully awkward social situations, doesn't spend much time thinking about Dershowitz, but he told The Atlantic that he's living rent-free in Dershowitz's head.

In summers past, Dershowitz waged a war against Martha's Vineyard's Good Pierogi and complained that his affinity for Trump was a social reputation killer on the liberal island. To hear him tell it, Dershowitz was the victim of social radioactivity for his ongoing association with Trump.

But then there was a clash between David and Dershowitz in the Chilmark General Store after David called Dershowitz "disgusting" for palling around with Mike Pompeo, the then-Secretary of Defense.

“It’s disgusting. Your whole enclave — it’s disgusting. You’re disgusting!" David said.

Dershowitz told the press at the time that David was so furious that Dershowitz worried he might have a stroke.

Mark Leibovich approached Dershowitz about how this summer has been on the island, though the Trump ally said he was weary of speaking to The Atlantic.

“But, you know, it’s important that people get the whole context,” he said.

Dershowitz would "hold court" at the General Store, though he told Leibovich he didn't like that characterization.

“I used to — not anymore,” he said.

He claimed he was only there, sitting on the porch, for the interview.

“Normally, we would have this whole area,” he said, waving at the rocking chairs on the porch of the store. “I would have Larry David here. Ted Danson was here sometimes. The guy who did Ghostbusters — he died a few years ago — he was here.”

He was speaking of Harold Ramis, who passed away in 2014.

“The whole crew of Chilmark friends, I would say, 20 or so, no longer talk to me,” Dershowitz lamented to the reporter.

He revealed that a group of people is trying to get him banned from one of his favorite places, the Chilmark Tavern. He claimed that at one point he was sitting on the restaurant's deck when a woman got out of her car, “saw I was up there, turned around, and went back to her car.”

“Ask her; you can check with her,” Dershowitz said, telling the reporter to confirm with "Jenny" the Tavern's proprietor.

But it was the David feud that continues to hurt the former Harvard professor.

"I allowed him to use my gym to work out,” Dershowitz said. “I helped him on a number of occasions.”

The two no longer speak, however. “He screams and yells at me when he sees me.”

Dershowitz said he can't even watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm" anymore.

Leibovich noticed that when talking about the feud, Dershowitz used the "present tense, describing their breach as if it were an active feud and a still-fresh wound."

For his part, David was completely clueless about the ongoing feud.

“I don’t know why he’s still thinking and talking about me,” David told The Atlantic. “I have lots of confrontations on my show but rarely in life. And then only if I think I can take them in a fight. Hence the Dershowitz dust-up.”
