Judd Apatow: Donald Trump voters 'wanted an abusive father'
Judd Apatow is very much so. The comedian and writer/director behind "Knocked Up" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" talked to Rolling Stone in a new interview about Trump and the election, and he has a theory about Trump's ascent.
While Apatow says he was very sad to watch his daughter "see such a lack of interest and respect for women," he believes voters "just wanted things to change," and that's why Trump won.
But he doesn't have any faith that Trump will deliver change, particularly his call in his campaign to "drain the swamp" of Washington, DC:
While Trump is unprecedented for a president-elect in modern American history, Apatow expects Trump's term to look relatively similar to George W. Bush's after the 2000 election.
"This is like having Dick Cheney be president," Apatow said.
