Norman Lear sits down with Salon: “Trump is the middle finger of the American right hand”

ANDREW O’HEHIR

I imagine pretty much everybody asks you about the analogy between Archie Bunker and —

Donald Trump. [Laughter.]

Yeah, you knew where I was going with that. It’s an inevitable comparison. I also kind of feel like it’s too simple.

I think you’re right.

Would Archie vote for Donald Trump?

I don’t think so at all. I think it could be a really good episode. Oh my God, it would make a really great episode. Him arguing with Mike and defending Donald Trump — I would love to do that. Because there isn’t much by way of leadership across the nation that Trump doesn’t represent as the asshole he is. They’re not all a bunch of assholes. But everything he reflects is what corporate America reflects.

And then, you’d actually see Archie go to vote. And in the end, he wouldn’t be able to do it. I really don’t think he would.

I think of Donald Trump as the middle finger of the American right hand, and they are saying, “This is the kind of leadership you give us everywhere? Corporate America, political America, fuck you.” And he represents that middle finger.
