David Axelrod, who managed Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns and worked as a senior advisor
Axelrod’s concerns were expressed in an interview with Apatow for the former’s semi-eponymous podcast, the Axe Files, published last week ahead of Monday’s 92nd Academy Awards in Los Angeles.
below.
AXELROD: There is clearly a strong sense of antipathy toward the president, president Trump. You see it at the award ceremonies. Every one of them seems to be a little bit of a beat down on him, and I often wonder how that is perceived in Middle America. Even around this whole impeachment thing, you see the president saying, ‘This isn’t just an assault on me. It’s an assault on you.’ Is there a disconnect here? And sometimes I wonder whether Hollywood is — in terms of the cause of making a case against the president — helpful or hurtful in that regard.
APATOW: Well, there’s clearly a very big disconnect in thinking, and we’re all trying to understand why that is. For instance, I always think, ‘Why does anybody think Donald Trump has their back?’ Like, do they think he’s really up late at night trying to solve your problems? His heart aches for your situation? And, so, as a Democrat, one of the things we do is, if somebody’s awful, we make fun of them, because we don’t want people to be awful and people of every ideology do that, and he certainly deserves it.…
Trump may lack awareness of his own communication style, suggested Apatow:
[Donald Trump] certainly has amazing instincts as a communicator. He truly understands flooding the zone, and what I always wondered — and I’m sure one day we’ll find out — is, how much of his style of communication is something that he understands?

Axelrod Warns Apatow: Hollywood’s Trump-Bashing May Hurt Democrats
These folks don’t spend much time around here where many of the memes are created....;-)
our little secret...
Progtards - assembly-line workers in the Factory of Ignorance.
Camp Wotapa was the girls camp that was across the lake from the boy’s camp I spent summers at. We had some pretty funny names for it, too.
Gee, you F think so, you effing idiots?
“Apatow framed Trump as a predatory politician akin to a casino owner:
Promoting, probably casinos, and taking all those people’s money”.
These people have not a clue. Trump is not even taking money for working as a POTUS and he works endlessly. He has done nothing for himself and has consistently thought of we Americans.
It is HOLLYWOOD that has framed their communications in ploys to deceive and receive money and laudations for themselves.
They think middle Americans are a bunch of rubes and have nothing but contempt for us, our values, and our honest lifestyles.
THAT is why they are completely unable to grasp Donald Trump.
These guys are completely clueless.
Exhibit A: CNN with Don Leemahn, Rick Wilson, and that other guy bashing Trump supporters. I'd say the public gets the message loud and clear.
They are too stupid and wrapped up in their herd instinct hate to realize it. All they really know is what their screen writers allow them to know.
Apatow needs lessons in listening skills. Axelrod is probably gnashing his teeth listening to him.
Uh, no. It won’t hurt dems at all. Few of any Trump supporters are paying attention to the Mammys.
Says Axelrod...who has been working with Romney and some of the GOP-e since 2014 to get Hillary elected
I wonder if Axelrod still hosts high school boys at his place in Chicago. You know, to mentor them.

Oh no, PLEASE keep it up, you empty headed tools !
I knew his dad a little bit. Judd is a sorry POS.

Why yes, that’s precisely what I think. And I also simultaneously deeply believe that Democrats cynically look at me with hatred, they would kill me if they got the chance, or they might settle for having me absolutely submit to their authoritarian world view. But I know none of them gives a flying fornication about my problem. Hell, they say that openly
