President Donald Trump has tweeted a clip of Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm episode in which he wears a "Make America Great Again" hat to repel people, with the caption "Tough guys for Trump!"

The clip sees David driving and accidentally swerving into a biker. They get into a confrontation and the biker asks David to get out of his car. Instead, David puts on his MAGA hat and the biker immediately becomes sympathetic and tells David to "just be more careful next time."

Larry David Uses MAGA Hat to Repel People in ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Premiere: ‘Worked Like a Charm’

Throughout the episode, David impersonates and makes fun of Trump and calls the hat a "people repellent."

David gets the idea to wear the MAGA hat when his friend, Jeff Greene, played by Jeff Garlin, says: "I'm not playing [golf] with him, he's a Trump supporter. I'd never play with a Trump supporter. I see him around town with that hat, 'Make America Great Again,' I don't need that crap. He makes me want to not be anywhere near him."

David then uses the hat to get out of a lunch date, to prevent people from sitting next to him at a restaurant, and then to avoid a confrontation with an angry biker, as seen in the clip.

Jeff Schaffer, executive producer of Curb Your Enthusiasm told The Hollywood Reporter: "Larry in the hat is such a dissonant image. You realized when he put it on that you just never see a person in a MAGA hat in Los Angeles. It's like spotting a double rainbow of intolerance."
