Trixie Mattel sat down with Larry King for a recent episode of Larry King Now to discuss everything from her retirement plans, to typical fan encounters, to Donald Trump.
Trixie was there to promote The Trixie & Katya Show and to plug her two country albums, but the conversation quickly turned to politics.
So what does the RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 3 winner think of Trump anyway?
“Well, we’re both dudes in wigs that wear too much bronzer,” she replied. “We probably have a lot more in common.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Trixie went on to criticize Trump’s lack of empathy for others.
“I don’t think he’s walked in somebody else’s pumps,” she said.
Asked if she’d ever like to meet #45, Trixie was quick to respond: “Pass!”
Trixie also took a moment to share her thoughts on how the current political climate, toxic as it may be, is actually having a positive impact on the drag industry.
“Any time there is an economic downturn or political strife, lipstick sales skyrocket,” she said. “If you have a hard day, it’s this $14 item that lifts your day, and I think drag has the same lipstick effect.”
She then pointed to the queer arts renaissance that happened post-Nazi Germany as an example.
“Whenever you feel oppressed, you just make more art,” she claimed. “I think that’s what’s happening.”

Thought she was going to say, ‘We both didn’t win the popular vote, yet we each were winners’.

Oooooooooh! Is it handbags at dawn sweetie?
Have I hit a nerve sweetie?
My views are based on viewers point of view, my friends & others I have spoken with at length.
It was a game sweetie – but I promise we will look back & think, Dela was the true winner, then Shangela deserved it – but Trixie took the title.
Same with All Stars 2 – Katya should have won, but the reforming of RoLaskaTox & Alaska’s hissy fit – ensured Alaska got the title there also.
Remember it’s just a game sweetie – no one died!
Cheerio sweetie.

Perhaps Trixie should change the color of her wig to something less nauseating – that Trump look!
