Most of Hollywood is desperate to explain to Trump supporters just how wrong they are to back the president, but Roseanne Barr, whose 1990s sitcom “Roseanne” will receive a reboot next fall, says she’ll be using her show to demonstrate why many blue collar Americans backed the president.
In her pre-reboot interview with ABC, Roseanne not only defended her support for Donald Trump, she makes no apologies for the current president, even though she believes the president says a lot of “crazy s***.”
But that doesn’t mean her TV character, Roseanne, who is famously representative of the “forgotten” demographics Trump appealed to in the 2016 campaign — disaffected blue collar Americans in rural and mid-western states who have struggled since jobs have moved overseas, and who deal firsthand with major American issues like the opioid epidemic — will ignore the political landscape. In fact, Barr says, the character of Roseanne will be unabashedly pro-Trump.
