Popular Comedian Explains Why Trump’s Communication Style Is ‘Super Relatable’ To Americans

Comedian Andrew Schulz explained to actress Monica Padman on a Monday podcast why President Donald Trump is able to connect with working-class Americans, despite his billionaire status.

“The face of the party should not be like a fourth-generation trust fund nepo baby who’s never had a real job, like telling working-class Americans … This can’t be the Democratic Party,” Schulz said on “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.”

“That is the face of the Republican Party, and it worked,” Padman retorted. “I don’t get it.”

Schulz said Padman made “a great point,” but noted there is a distinction with Trump.

“But here’s the difference. And this is what people do not like to acknowledge: Trump doesn’t sound rich,” he said. “When he talks, he sounds poor. He talks like he’s from the neighborhood.”

Schulz then recounted how Trump responded to a reporter who asked him about the possibility of Russia breaking a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine during his press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Feb. 28.

“He goes, ‘What if someone drops a bomb and it blows up on your head?’ That’s how Frank from the neighborhood would answer a question,” Schulz said. “So he communicates in a way that is super relatable to those people, despite his life not being at all relatable.”
