Trump Voter Andrew Schulz Can't Believe Trump Isn't Doing What He Campaigned On
Andrew Schulz, the controversial comedian and podcaster who proudly voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, has apparently been shocked to learn that Donald Trump is not doing the things he promised to do. As if there weren't a bounty of evidence out there already that this exactly what was going to happen.
On a recent episode of his Flagrant podcast, Schulz grumbled, 'Everything he campaigned on I believe he wanted to do, and now he's doing the exact opposite thing of every single fucking thing.' (Who could have possibly seen that coming?)
Schulz went on to say that he's been receiving DMs from people telling him, 'You voted for this.' Schulz, though, insists he 'voted for none of this,' even though he actively voted for Trump, an extremely well-known political quantity at this point with a habit of saying things that will get him elected, but not actually doing them.
'He's doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for,' Schulz complained. 'I want him to stop the wars — he's funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget — he's increasing it. It's like everything that he said he's going to do — except sending immigrants back, and now he's even flip-flopped on that, which I kind of like.' (Again, who could have possibly seen all that coming?)
Chief among Schulz's problems — and the main focus of the episode on which he aired these grievances — was Trump's flip-flop on his promise to release more info about Jeffrey Epstein. Earlier this week, Justice Department officials released a memo saying investigators had concluded that Epstein never had a 'client list' used to blackmail celebrities and political elites, inflaming certain MAGA factions who've been clamoring for more documents. On top of all that, when asked about the Epstein case at a recent press conference, Trump dismissed the notion that people are still interested in the case.
After playing that press conference clip on Flagrant, Schulz gravely said, 'In all seriousness, that is what is enraging people right now. It's insulting our intelligence.'
Yup, congrats, Andrew, you've finally figured out how Trump operates and how he perceives even some of his most slavish and devoted followers. So, once more with feeling: Who could have possibly seen that coming?
