‘Trump changed everything’ | CTV News

OTTAWA – Rick Mercer says he’s glad he doesn’t have to cover for Donald Trump.

Rick Mercer told Joyce Napier on Power Play on Thursday: “Trump changed everything because he took all the oxygen out of every room.

The beloved comedian spoke to Power Play about his book, “Talking to Canadians: Memoirs.” He writes about everything from his Newfoundland roots to his career in the world of political satire.

He says part of his work includes anthropomorphizing political figures. Mercer says he is not interested in humanizing the former US president.

“I wouldn’t go that route,” he told CTV’s Power Play.

Mercer also said the Trump presidency poses a challenge for American comedians, who regularly go on the air and react to what Trump and his administration say or do.

Mercer discusses the impact of the Trump presidency on comedy in the video at the top of this article.
