Why is Rosanne Barr trending on Facebook?

Oh that's right! She's dogging Hillary and endorsing Trump.

Noticed some are contacting the Logo Channel asking them to remove Rosanne's show from their lineup because she endorsed someone who could care less about LGBT rights.

I know she's a radical feminist, so it makes no sense that she's endorsing Trump.

Barr is an attention seeker and wants her grievances heard. She'll say whatever pops in her head and they rails against people who listen to her but don't get the same message she thought she was sending. She may not support Trump, or she might depending on the day, but she is very Trump-like.

What's your take on Hillary? What do you think is wrong with her?

You don't know?! Well, she hangs out with [President] Bush. Do you need more than that? She's friends with everybody that gives her any goddamned money. The fact is, you don't get to be the nominee without taking a lot of dirty money. You might be the best f—in' person on earth, but if you're hanging out with criminals who do bad things, that matters a lot. That's why I ran, because no, I don't hang out with criminals and I don't take their money and I’m not paid to help sell nuclear weapons.

I like Trump because he financed his own [campaign]. That's the only way he could've gotten that nomination. Because nobody wants a president who isn't from Yale and Harvard and in the club.

'Cause it’s all about distribution. When you're in the club, you’ve got people that you sell to. That's how money changes hands, that's how business works. If you've got friends there, they scratch your back and blah, blah … But Americans don't even know that much, even though they say they do.

They say they believe that people should take money out of politics and then, you know, they send their paycheck to Bernie and off he goes to hang out with the pope on a private jet on that money. The f—in' Pope, are you shittin' me?! And nobody just gives you money, they're not like, 'Here's three million, you look good, your hair is nice.' No. It's like, 'Hey, I'm giving you this money so you can pimp my products when it comes time.'

Went to an Ivy League school and was born into privilege.

It does sound to me as though she's pretty consistently against the role of money in the system and calls out (rightly or wrongly) all candidates. Not saying I agree or disagree--it's hard to tell with transcripts vs seeing her say these lines.

I agree that money in politics is a huge problem, but self-financing doesn't make your campaign more virtuous or your money cleaner.

Is this her attempt at being relevant again or is this like murdering the National Anthem in front of the world...just another performance piece gone bad?
