In fact, Trump’s name won’t even be mentioned in any of the nine total episodes.
“The Conners aren’t Trump supporters. Roseanne’s character is a Trump supporter — she’s the only one — and we never say his name, actually, in the show,” series star Sara Gilbert, who also serves as an executive producer on the reboot, said Thursday on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live. (The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Gilbert’s comment applies to all the remaining episodes, as well.)
