Give Roseanne Barr the chance and she will rail against presumed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, but that does not — I repeat, does not — mean that she endorses Donald Trump for president. No way, no how.

So when I recently asked Barr about her reported support for the Celebrity Apprentice star, she gave a heated response.
“I did not endorse Donald Trump,” she said. “Did you read the article? Oh, my God.”
The article she was referring to was published by the Hollywood Reporter earlier this month, featuring an interview with her about many things, one of them being the presidential election. It teases that she “comes out for Trump” under a headline of “Roseanne Barr on Trump ‘Playing the Heel for Hillary,’ Pot and Being a Farmer.” In the piece, Barr was quoted as saying, “I think we would be so lucky if Trump won. Because then it wouldn’t be Hillary.”

“Have a lot of people thought that?” I asked nervously about the misconception that she was backing The Donald.
“Just people who only read headlines and nothing else. They gave a very sensational headline for a great hourlong interview in which I discussed the corruption of our election system, and I’m so offended that they did that,” she said. “There I was speaking about the press and how it’s so corrupt, and that’s what they did. Of all the corrupted, the most corrupt is the press. It’s just typical.”

She continued, “I endorse myself. I will be writing my name in until I win, and I’ve said that 10 million times. You’re the 10 million and one-th person I’ve said that to in the last two weeks. I will be writing myself in in every election from now until I win. I don’t endorse. It was just a way to further diminish me and my contribution.”

As for my interview, I needed to think fast, try to get at why Barr doesn’t approve of Trump. “So you wouldn’t support him… ?” Oh no. My question wasn’t even all the way out, and I could already sense that I had said the wrong thing.
“Are you kidding? I just answered that,” she said. “I’m gonna hang up. I can’t continue this interview.”
“Oh, please don’t do that. I have a few other questions.”
“Well, I just answered you and then you responded by asking the exact same question that I’ve just answered,” Barr said. “I did not endorse Donald Trump. I don’t endorse people. … I said the press was corrupt and that Hillary owns the press and that people in this country are not allowed to say anything except for that they love Hillary, or they’ll be harassed, especially on social media, until they leave or hang their head in shame. Because if you don’t endorse Hillary, then you’re anti-American, a racist, a sexist, or whatever names her robots throw around. She did the same thing to Bernie [Sanders] that she’s now doing to Trump.”

She added, “I won’t vote for Clinton. I’m voting for myself. I don’t endorse Trump because I say Clinton is corrupt. I don’t endorse either one of those parties, because they’re both irrelevant to voters. I hope that answers your question.”

Roseanne:
Queen of not supporting Hillary.
Queen on not supporting Trump.
Queen of hanging up on interviews.
Queen of supporting herself for President.
