Comedian and podcast host Andrew Schulz turned on President Donald Trump during a candid episode of his “Flagrant” podcast on Thursday, accusing the president of backtracking on nearly every major promise he made to voters.

Schulz, who hosted Trump on the podcast just weeks before the 2024 election, said he feels betrayed by what he sees as a complete reversal of the president’s original campaign platform.

“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 on the air.

A vocal supporter of the president during the election, Schulz now says Trump’s actions since reclaiming the White House have left him and many others feeling misled.

Chief among his concerns are the surging national debt, U.S. involvement in foreign wars, and the Justice Department’s announcement that no Epstein client list exists.

“There’ll be people, they’ll DM and say, ‘You see what your boy’s doing? You voted for this.’ I’m like, ‘I voted for none of this!’ He’s doing the exact opposite of everything I’ve voted for!” Schulz exclaimed.

“I want him to stop the wars, he’s funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget, he’s increasing it,” he added.

“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 was referencing Trump’s recent policy pivot, signaling leniency for some illegal immigrants working in farming.

The administration has also come under fire from conservatives for failing to deliver a promised Epstein “client list.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi previously said in February, “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review. That’s been a directive by President Trump.”

But this week, the Justice Department released a memo stating that no such list exists and that Epstein acted alone.

Trump, when asked about the Epstein news during a White House event, dismissed the question as “unbelievable.” Schulz scoffed at the administration’s reaction.

“So we’re stupid? We’re the f—ing idiots, guys,” he said. “Guys, just to let you know, we’re wasting time. That is, in all seriousness, I think, what is enraging people right now.”

“It’s insulting our intelligence. Obviously, the intelligence community is trying to cover it up,” he continued.

“Obviously, the Trump administration is trying to cover it up. Something changed, because they ran on the idea of exposing it all.”

Responding to the backlash, White House spokesman Harrison Fields defended the president’s record in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“Andrew Schulz knows life is far better in President Trump’s America than it would have been under a weak and incompetent President Harris,” Fields said.

“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,” he continued.

“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.”

Schulz’s discontent with the Trump White House didn’t end there. In a New York Times interview earlier this month, he criticized the president’s crackdown on illegal immigrants, saying he had hoped for a more compassionate approach.

“[I]t doesn’t look like that has been happening. This is disheartening for me,” Schulz said about ICE raids in the city.

During his October 2024 podcast interview with Trump, Schulz said he wanted to focus on three key topics: immigration, foreign policy in the Middle East, and in vitro fertilization access.

He pressed Trump on whether he had empathy for undocumented workers who contribute to the economy.

“You have to start with the criminals,” Trump said, quickly moving on from the question.

Schulz then applauded Trump for the Abraham Accords and asked if more diplomacy was in store.

“You know, there are great philosophers that said the world will end in the Middle East. We’re not going to let that happen. You’ve heard that expression,” the president replied. “We’re not going to let that happen, okay?”

Schulz has also alleged that Vice President Kamala Harris and her team lied when they claimed he never contacted them about an interview opportunity.

On a recent episode of the New York Times podcast “The Interview,” Schulz revealed that he and several high-profile intermediaries made repeated attempts to book Harris, including outreach by Charlamagne Tha God and billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban.

He claimed Harris’s operatives called him a “sexist, bigoted and racist podcast bro” and refused to appear.

“It’s wild to blatantly lie when not only did I reach out — Charlamagne, who’s working with them, reached out. Mark Cuban, who’s a surrogate, reached out, and we reached out, and they blatantly lie,” Schulz said.

“Then when people write articles about it, they’ll say, ‘Andrew says he reached out to Kamala, but we reached out to the Kamala people, and they said that never happened.’ So what is the reader supposed to interpret that as?”

“I think it’s an indictment on me, because it’s almost like calling me a liar,” Schulz noted.

Though he insists he is a lifelong Democrat, Schulz explained why he cast his vote for Trump in the last election.

“I voted against a Democratic institution that I feel was stripping the democratic process from its constituents,” he said.

“I didn’t like the way things were going, and Kamala was saying, ‘Yeah, we’re going to keep doing that.'”
