I only saw the first episode but the Trump support seemed like an extension of real life Roseanne and rather tacked on and forced rather than integral to the show.  It came off as a marketing ploy and nothing that so clearly dates a show would be used if long term plans were in play .

That's just my take, though.  Roseanne as a person always seemed apolitical and self serving to me . I am woman heard me roar and respect me, but nuts to the downtrodden parties to which i am not a member. 

Actually the original show dealt with issues in a controversial yet respectful manner, so that might not be completely fair of me to say.  I just didn't see the reboot investing in the characters like the original run and their personalities were amped up and tossed out at the viewer in a ham fisted manner .
