Television personality Issa Rae is sure cooking up surprises for the third season of her hit HBO comedy series "Insecure." It is a little difficult to predict what will actually be on the show (pure comedy gold aside), but we can say for certain what or who is not going to be on the show: Donald Trump.
Rae made it clear that she has a "No Trump Policy" on the show. She still strives to make the events on the show timely and relevant, but she believes she can execute it without dragging Trump into the scenes.
"I think we aim to reflect everything that's going on in a grounded way, but also we don't want to make anything feel dated," Rae said.
She explained that she does not want to feature Trump prominently on the episodes because does not want people to "look back" and "be reminded of him or feel the sanction of him on the show."
Likewise, fans would probably not see the current #MeToo or Times Up issues on the show.
Rae said that she would include things that feel timely and relevant not only at the current time. She will make sure that the subjects are "always timely and relevant" regardless of time of airing.
In addition, Rae also commented about Trump's response to Jay-Z when the rapper addressed black unemployment in America. Many found it strange that Eminem's criticism against Trump via a BET freestyle mostly went without reaction from the President. Yet when Jay-Z aired his concerns, the president replies the morning after.
Rae said that Trump's behavior does not surprise her any more. "He's showing in his actions that he doesn't have a respect or he has a lack of consideration where black people are concerned," she said.
"Insecure" Season 3 is expected to premiere some time this year, on HBO.
