This Very Popular Trump-Supporting Comedian Is Now Furious That He's Doing The Complete Opposite Of What He Promised

Comedian and podcaster Andrew Schulz turned on President Donald Trump Thursday, lashing out at promises the president has failed to fulfill since returning to the White House, saying he 'voted for none of this.' Related: 'He's doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for. I want him to stop the wars. He's funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget. He's increasing it,' Schulz said on his podcast, Flagrant. Schulz, who has amassed nearly 2 million subscribers on YouTube, hosted the president on his show last year in the lead-up to the presidential election; during their interview, he burst into laughter after Trump called himself "basically a truthful person." @KamalaHQ/ Flagrant Related: Schulz told the New York Times in an interview published last month that his vote for Trump was 'against a Democratic institution' he felt 'was stripping the democratic process from its constituents.' He went on to say that, going into the Trump interview, he specifically wanted to address three topics with the candidate: making sure access to in vitro fertilization was protected, having 'empathy' for law-abiding undocumented migrants, and ending foreign wars. Months after casting his vote for Trump, Schulz tore into the president in Thursday's episode in front of his co-hosts, comedians Akaash Singh and Mark Gagnon, and media producer AlexxMedia. 'There'll be people that they'll DM me and be like, 'You see what your boy's doing? You voted for this.' I'm like, 'I voted for none of this,'' Schulz said. Related: The conversation moved on to Trump's immigration policy, where Singh questioned the president's promise of focusing on undocumented immigrants who committed criminal offenses. 'I don't even know if the criminals are getting sent back. I know there's a lot of people with green cards getting sent back. There's people who aren't criminals getting sent back,' Singh said, emphasizing that 'nothing has happened.' At one point, Schulz expressed frustration with Trump's unfulfilled promise to release files related to convicted child sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein, stating, 'It's insulting our intelligence. Like, obviously, the intelligence community is trying to cover it up. Obviously, the Trump administration is trying to cover up,' Schulz claimed. 'Something changed because they ran on this idea of exposing it all.' Related: Some argued that Trump's appearance last year on Schulz's podcast and others like it that draw large audiences of young men helped the president reach younger male voters and win the election. The comedian has recently hosted more left-leaning figures on the show, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who warned of not taking Trump's promises seriously. 'To me, like most of the stuff he said he was going to do, he didn't actually do,' Buttigieg said in April. 'He didn't do the big infrastructure bill he talked about. [The Biden administration] actually did it. He didn't even build the wall.' This article originally appeared on HuffPost. Also in In the News: Also in In the News: Also in In the News:
