Many have compared Crews clueless President Camacho to PresidentDonald Trump.
And Fox wasnt really giving him the money for the effects and set pieces.
So I called Mike Judge, and he told me the studio dumped the movie.
I was bummed out.
Wilson added, So I was so surprised when it became popular.
It is the movie that gets brought up the most to me.
Not just election time but over the years.
Hes revived the character on several occasions over the years.
