Veep reunion scrapped Trump jokes after the president was hospitalized for coronavirus

The Hollywood Reporter

"When Trump got sick, we made a very conscious decision to say, let’s just leave him out of it," former Veep showrunner David Mandel said of Sunday's reunion that raised at least $500,000 for the Wisconsin Democratic Party and Joe Biden's campaign. "Let’s try to take the high road while the man is in the hospital — or driving around, as the case may be. The only thing I can say is that, for three and a half years, it did seem like Donald Trump did whatever he wanted without consequences, which is part of what ruined Veep a little bit because it was a show where Selina often suffered from her own actions. I will say, this week it’s nice to see that there are consequences again. So, welcome back consequences."
