Roseanne Barr Says ‘We’re Lucky’ to Have Donald Trump as President
Roseanne Barr appeared on ABC’s 20/20 to promote the revival of her sitcom, which is premiering next month. While on the air, she addressed her support of President Donald Trump.
Barr has been open about her pro-Trump views since early on. She went on a day-long Twitter tirade at the end of last year, which prompted her to delete nearly everything she’d ever posted. On 20/20, she explained why she though Roseanne fans likely voted for President Trump.
“He did talk about jobs, so that’s what you need to do if you want working people to vote for you,” she said. “Not Syrian airspace. I don’t think Hillary talked about jobs much, she was always just talking about Syrian airspace. I’m like, ‘do you think people in America–?’ Or maybe they do, I didn’t, though.”
“Trump offended half of America, and she offended the other half,” she went on. “So that’s great for sitcoms, great for comedy. We’re lucky to have him as a president, it’s great for comedy.”
The remark appalled some viewers, who have now vowed not to watch the reboot.
“Would have watched the show for the wonderful John Goodman, but just can’t, given Barr’s spport [sic] for #TrumpTreason,” wrote one user.

Thank you for standing behind our great President Trump. So many people in hollywood
ReplyDeletedon't. As for the idiot that said they can't give you support for because of your support for
Trump Treason, they don't have brains of a pissant or they would see it is the democrats
that have committed treason, and Donald Trump has done more for America in 3 years
than bush, clinton, and obama put together. As a matter of fact, American quality of life
went down under each of these administrations, especially obama's. and they are so blind
with their hate of Trump, who their liberal puppetmasters tell to hate blindly with no excuse
nor good reason, they can't and won't see the good Trump has done for America. I pity
them.
