Hand Grenade

I am increasingly suspicious that the "Roseanne" show was a booby trap set by the Hollywood elites to besmirch President Trump. Yes, I realize the colossal nature that this conspiracy would have to be and how many things could go wrong. But, nevertheless, the egos of these media elites are so huge  ... and their hatred of Trump is so pervasive that I somehow feel that this whole thing was a hand grenade concocted to blow Trump up. Here are some of the clues I am focusing on:

- Just about everyone involved in this program was liberal --  the producer Wanda Sykes, all the writers (according to a Roseanne tweet), most of the actors ... including the husband, John Goodman, a rabid radical lefty, ... and all the suits at ABC and up to Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney (the owners of ABC). Why in the world would this group promote the agenda of the right? My guess is that there was an expectation that this program would eventually turn on Trump and help turn public opinion (remember "All in the Family)?

- I have no idea whether Roseanne Barr, being a vocal old-time liberal, really voted for Trump. However, I do know that she is notoriously erratic and she could well be the pulled-grenade-pin to blow this whole thing up ... exactly what did happen.

- Although the "Roseanne" show initially shot to the top of the ratings chart,  of late it was losing its mojo ... possibly because its team of writer's hearts aren't in it. This trending suggested that this show was not sustainable over the long term. So when Roseanne tweeted her slur, this gave the suits their out. The rapidity of Sykes' resignation and Iger's cancellation tells me that thus was pre-staged. (Sykes' umbrage at Roseanne ape comparison ignores that, in her previous comedy routine, she compared Trump to an orangutan).

- As expected, the  "crash and burn" of this show was used by much of the media to blame Trump ... as they breathlessly waited for Trump to come to Roseanne's aide. He, being very media savvy, attacked the true villain, Iger, instead. So, instead of an explosion, Disney spent millions on a wet fart.
