Donald Glover Opens Up on Expectations to Discuss Trump in 'Atlanta' In an interview with the New York Times, Glover discussed how the show's writers, himself included, dealt with Donald Trump's presidency. "We knew people were going to expect us to talk about Trump." "I think it started with us asking: 'Do poor people even care? Are poor people even being affected by this? It’s not like oh, things were great for poor people under Obama, and now they’re way bad. If you’re poor, you’re still at the bottom." Stephen Glover, Donald's brother and a writer on the show, said that they almost put a bit in about it. "We talked about the possibility of doing a bit where you show the night Obama won and they’re super happy, and then you show later and everything’s exactly the same. Nothing ever changes." Atlanta Robbin' Season, the show's second season, premieres on March 1.
