Andrew Schulz Says Trump Is Doing the Opposite of What He Voted For

Andrew Schulz is known for not holding back. On stage, on podcasts, or in interviews — he speaks how he feels. That’s exactly what happened on a recent episode of his Flagrant podcast, where the 41-year-old comedian opened up about his disappointment in President Donald Trump. And it wasn’t sugar-coated.

Schulz didn’t shy away from admitting he once voted for Trump. But now? He says Trump is doing “the exact opposite” of everything he believed he was voting for. It wasn’t just a mild letdown. It sounded more like full-on regret.

“I want him to stop the wars — he’s funding them,” Schulz said, visibly frustrated. “I want him to shrink spending — he’s increasing it.” He went on to say that Trump had flipped on nearly every promise except immigration, “and now he’s even flip-flopped on that, which I kind of like.”

What pushed Schulz to speak up now?

This wasn’t just a random rant. Schulz has been catching heat online from people who know he once supported Trump. He said he gets DMs regularly from people saying, “You see what your boy’s doing?” His response? “I voted for none of this.”

He acknowledged that most politicians don’t follow through on their promises. That’s not new to him. But this time feels different. “Now I’m getting to the point where it’s like, ‘Can they do anything?’” he said. You could hear the burnout in his voice.

Schulz also made it clear this wasn’t a switch to the other side. He’s not a MAGA loyalist, nor is he pretending to have all the answers. He just feels like what he thought he was voting for is nowhere to be found.

Wasn’t Trump on his podcast before the election?

Yeah, and that moment stirred up a lot of noise. Trump appeared on Flagrant in October during the 2024 campaign. Some people took that as an endorsement. Schulz pushed back hard.

“I don’t believe in endorsing candidates. I’m a comedian,” he told The Daily Beast. He even turned down an invite to Trump’s inauguration. “It wasn’t for me,” he said.

What stood out most from that interview, though, was Schulz pressing Trump on hot-button issues like abortion and IVF access. He didn’t tiptoe around anything. That conversation, according to Schulz, was not about picking a side. It was about having the conversation.

“I grew up in a f***ing dance family and an arts family in New York City,” Schulz reminded his audience. “Do you really think I’ve been right-wing my entire life?” His tone was half sarcasm, half exhaustion. He’s been a Democrat most of his life. His Trump vote was never about party loyalty.

Now, post-election, Schulz says people misread the whole situation. “America had made their mind up,” he said. He doesn’t believe his podcast swayed anything. To him, the Trump support came from people fed up with the system, not people blindly following a celebrity politician.

Schulz’s honesty didn’t come with a solution. But it did show a rare kind of vulnerability. He’s not pretending to have it all figured out. He’s just a guy who voted, watched things play out, and now feels let down. And he’s not afraid to say it.
