Even though President Trump got a big "eff you" in the recently released Broad City Season 4 trailer, the Comedy Central show will make sure the president's name doesn't get any airtime.

Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, who star in and created the ridiculously funny show, told USA Today this week Trump's name is getting bleeped out, just like any other swear word on the basic cable channel.

"There's no airtime for this orange (person)," Glazer told the news outlet. "We bleep his name the whole season."

The Trump bleeping comes after Jacobson and Glazer had to rewrite a lot of the show. They went in assuming Clinton would win the election. Then "this game-show host became president of our country, we rewrote a lot," Glazer told USA Today.
