“[Trump] supporters somehow say, ‘Well, he had a shotgun, so he must be one of us.’ Like, dumb people insist that Ron Swanson would’ve voted for Trump,” Nick said during the interview. He went on to say that he doesn’t bother responding to the claim and instead, leaves it up to the series’ writer.
“I take it to Mike Schur, the main creator of Ron, and he said, ‘Swanson would’ve 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,” Nick explained.
Nick further went on to share his own thoughts on the fictional character’s belief system and said, “He would think he’s an absolute idiot. He would also despise him because he’s disrespectful to women and many others. And that’s just an example of all the people and value sets that Ron would despise, because Ron is a good person.”
