Andrew Schulz finally calls out Trump for turning into everything he once claimed to fight—bloated budgets, endless war, and zero transparency on Epstein
Comedian Andrew Schulz didn’t hold back during Thursday’s episode of his Flagrant podcast, where he unleashed a sharp critique of President Donald Trump’s second term. Schulz, who previously hosted Trump as a guest on the show during the 2024 campaign, said he’s been left stunned and disappointed by the president’s failure to deliver on core promises.
“Everything he campaigned on, I believe he wanted to do, and now he’s doing the exact opposite thing of every single f—ing thing,” Schulz said during the episode, expressing a sense of betrayal that echoes what many disillusioned Trump voters are now feeling.
Schulz zeroed in on what he sees as the biggest reversals—massive increases to the national debt, growing involvement in foreign wars, and the Justice Department’s declaration that there is no Jeffrey Epstein “client list.” For Schulz, who confirmed he voted for Trump, the shift feels like a complete bait-and-switch. “There’ll be people, they’ll DM and say, ‘You see what you’re boy’s doing? You voted for this.’ I’m like, ‘I voted for none of this!’” he said. “He’s doing the exact opposite of everything I’ve voted for! I want him to stop the wars, he’s funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget, he’s increasing it. It’s like everything that he said he’s going to do—except sending immigrants back, and now he’s even flip-flopped on that—which I kind’ve like,” Schulz added, referencing Trump’s recent openness to letting certain migrant farm workers remain in the country.
The Flagrant team also unpacked the explosive fallout from the Department of Justice and FBI’s Sunday announcement. According to officials, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein had no client list and died by suicide—a conclusion that contradicts months of speculation and contradicts prior statements from key Trump officials. “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi had said in February during an appearance on Fox’s America Reports. “That’s been a directive by President Trump,” she added at the time.
Trump, when pressed about the sudden reversal at the White House, lashed out at the question. “Unbelievable,” he said, dismissing the inquiry altogether.
Schulz wasn’t buying it. “So we’re stupid? We’re the f—ing idiots, guys,” he said with frustration. “Guys, just to let you know, we’re wasting time. That is, in all seriousness, I think, what is enraging people right now.” He went on to suggest that this was no simple bureaucratic blunder. “It’s insulting our intelligence. Obviously, the intelligence community is trying to cover it up. Obviously, the Trump administration is trying to cover it up,” he said. “Something changed, because they ran on the idea of exposing it all,” he added, voicing a sentiment now echoed across social media.
The backlash didn’t end with Schulz. Bondi, who previously pledged transparency on Epstein, is now facing questions about whether her office misled the public. The DOJ’s dismissal of a client list, paired with the sudden end to further investigation, has sparked renewed speculation of a cover-up involving elites.
Despite the criticism, the White House pushed back on Schulz’s claims. In a statement to Fox News Digital, spokesman Harrison Fields defended the president’s record. “Andrew Schulz knows life is far better in President Trump’s America than it would have been under a weak and incompetent President Harris. As a guest on the Flagrant podcast, millions of listeners heard the President lay out his vision for America, and many voted in support of it—that’s exactly what President Trump is successfully executing. Name the issue, and the President is solving it. From the border to Biden’s inflation to fostering world peace—the results speak for themselves,” Fields said.
Still, Schulz remains firm in his disappointment. What once looked like a promise of reform, transparency, and fiscal responsibility now feels—to many like him—like just another bait-and-switch in Washington politics.
