KLAVAN: HBO’s Anti-Trump ‘Coastal Elites’ May Reveal More About The Left Than It Intends

The preview for HBO’s upcoming comedy “Coastal Elites” is just a blip on the cultural radar, but it reveals a lot about our friends on the Left. The show is written by the virulently anti-Trump screenwriter Paul Rudnick, who once tweeted, “Trump’s solution to the virus: more death. Trump’s solution to racism: more racism.” Rudnick is also a talented guy, who wrote the charming comedy film “In and Out,” about a teacher slowly discovering he’s gay.

The show was originally developed as a play for the Public Theater—the place where they staged Julius Caesar with a Caesar-as-Trump, so they could assassinate the president onstage and call it art. It features five monologues by coastal elites who hate Donald Trump. The left-wing Daily Beast, which previewed the show, says it “may be the most anti-Trump scripted programming to air on a major network.”
