\n\t\u201c[Trump] supporters somehow say, \u2018Well, he had a shotgun, so he must be one of us.\u2019 Like, dumb people insist that Ron Swanson would\u2019ve voted for Trump,\u201d Offerman said in an interview with IndieWire<\/a>. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t deign to answer myself. I take it to Mike Schur, the main creator of Ron, and he said, \u2018Swanson would\u2019ve despised Trump, because Ron loved capitalism. And Trump made the stupidest move you could make as a capitalist, which is to go into public service.’\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued, \u201cHe would think he\u2019s an absolute idiot. He would also despise him because he\u2019s disrespectful to women and many others. And that\u2019s just an example of all the people and value sets that Ron would despise, because Ron is a good person.\u201d<\/p>\n
