I never watched the original series but did the first of the new series. The canned laughter completely turns me off.

I don't think it is a pro-trump theme as several here seem to. Rosanne, the character is pro trump but I likely time will tell that she, the character will slowly come to see him differently. Over time she will be realizing that he is not the working class hero he is portrayed as being and she will convert to anti-trump with the rest of her family.

Was the pro-Trump theme known about in advance?

I think you may be right. Roseanne was pretty clear that she supported jobs -- not necessarily Trump. And Jackie admitting she voted third party already opens the door for outside-the-box perspectives. I expect she'll keep us on our toes and we shouldn't expect anything in particular, but we can expect anything can happen!

Good question - were any trailer-ads being played in the lead-up to its release? or did it just appear in print somewhere with a time for the first episode and everyone didn't have a clue what to expect?
...asking for marketing purposes.

Hmmmm, just as I suspected - ratings due to preconceived interest ranging from political to historical thanks to marketing strategies.
I think that, over time, everyone on the show will grow to appreciate the views of the other characters....not just Roseanne.
On that note, I think 'Jackie' is in for the biggest challenge given how easily manipulated the character has always been, and having taken up the cause of 'feminism.'

You say that like it's a bad thing.

what the hell is :
" anti , anti trump " ???????????????
pro trummp - just not prepared to admit it ?
or some orwellian " new speak " ?
Roseanne is not pro Trump, just playing a character.

Rosanne is an open Trump supporter in real life.
