    Comedian Andrew Schulz voted for President Donald Trump — but he’s fed up with the president now after months of broken promises, Fox News reported on Thursday.

    On the “Flagrant” podcast this week, Schulz explained that the major issues that caused him to break with Trump are the passage of his “big, beautiful bill” on tax cuts that explodes the national debt, his ongoing funding of wars, and his administration’s announcement that there was no “client list” for sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

    “Everything he campaigned on, I believe he wanted to do, and now he’s doing the exact opposite thing of every single f—ing thing,” said Schulz.

    “There’ll be people, they’ll DM and say, ‘You see what you’re boy’s doing? You voted for this.’ I’m like, ‘I voted for none of this!’” said Schulz. “He’s doing the exact opposite of everything I’ve 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. 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’ve like.”

    Schulz is not the only pro-MAGA comedian who is now having second thoughts.

    Last month, Dave Smith, a libertarian comic, told Breaking Points’ Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti that he no longer supports Trump, and in fact wants him impeached, because of his mismanagement of peace talks with Iran.

    “Listen man, I supported him this last year. I apologize for doing so. It was a bad calculation. At the time, it seemed like the right one. But, he should be impeached and removed for this one,” said Smith. “Of course, the Congress will never do it because they’re all a bunch of, you know, corrupt hacks.”

      How in the fuck did it seem “like the right calculation”? How unutterably fucking stupid do you have to be to think there was a calculation involved? It was entirely fucking obvious where this was going to end up.

      Americans are the fucking stupidest examples of humanity that have ever disgraced this planet.

        The calculation was “destroy America now” or “postpone the choice for four more years”.

        Some people just need that instant gratification because they have the attention span of a coconut.

      “Of course, the Congress will never do it because they’re all a bunch of, you know, corrupt hacks.”

      He’s not wrong, but dude, you voted for him and now you expect congress to fix your vote. Way to pass the buck.
