Prominent comedian Andrew Schulz finds former President Trump to be a much more “enticing” candidate for the upcoming election.
During an episode of “The Brilliant Idiots” podcast, which Schulz co-hosts with radio personality Charlamagne tha God, Schulz shared his candid thoughts on why Trump appears to be a more appealing choice compared to Democratic candidates. He emphasized that the lack of inspiration from the Democratic Party makes Trump a standout.
“He’s very enticing. He’s incredibly enticing and I think that he’s enticing because I think the Democrats have utterly failed to inspire us in any way, shape, or form,” Schulz remarked during a podcast segment highlighted by The Daily Caller.
The conversation then turned to Vice President Kamala Harris, who is seen as the Democratic front-runner. Schulz pointed out that Harris faces a tough challenge in exciting the voters.
“And that burden is now on Kamala,” Schulz said, slipping on the pronunciation of her name, which was promptly corrected by Charlamagne. Schulz continued, “Kamala is someone who is not the nominee because of the democratic process. So she has a huge burden to inspire.”
He then praised Trump again, mentioning that Trump’s appeal lies in his opposition to established systems, especially those that have disappointed the public.
Charlamagne, a known Democratic voter who has said he’d never vote for Trump, questioned Schulz’s take with a dose of skepticism.
Schulz explained, “It’s not about whether he [Trump] is or he isn’t [bucking the system]; it’s the perception that he is. So, if you feel let down by the pharmaceutical industry and he’s out here questioning it, you’re like, ‘Ooh, I kind of like that.’ If you feel let down by the military-industrial complex with all these wars that we’re in and he’s like, ‘We’re going to stop these wars,’ you’re like, ‘Ooh, I like that.’”
He joked, “Cause you know if Kamala is in, we ain’t stopping no wars.”
During the podcast, one of the producers chimed in, suggesting that Trump’s appeal might just be because Americans prefer entertainment over substance. Schulz then clarified that his interest in Trump is based on Trump’s challenge to the institutions that have let people down, not necessarily an endorsement.
“What I said is he’s very enticing. The enticement comes from the facts that he’s calling out these institutions that have let me down and let Americans down,” Schulz elaborated. “So, if you’re critical of institutions that I’ve lost faith in, then naturally, I’m going to be like, ‘Alright, that sounds kind of fire.’”
Schulz concluded that many middle-of-the-road American voters probably share this sentiment, feeling let down by the current systems and attracted to someone who promises to challenge them.
