The executive producers of HBOs hit satirical comedy Veep said they see a lot of similarities between Julia Louis-Dreyfus character Selina Meyer and President Donald Trump .

Frank Rich and David Mandel amusingly listed just some of the likenesses in an interview on Thursday with Ari Melber, the host of MSNBC s The Beat.

I would argue, if anybody is Trump, Selina is Trump, said Mandel, whose show concludes with the current seventh and final season .

Not that anybody is Trump, he added. Shes horrific and despicable in many similar ways, and sort of holds grudges, and has a very sort of a hair-trigger temper and that kind of a thing.

Rich noted how Meyer pretends to like her family and doesnt give a lot to charity, I dont think.

Mandel highlighted Meyers penchant for invoking God when she feels it serves her own purposes. Rich then recalled her looking at the index of her own memoir to find out her position on abortion.

Mandel rounded off the similarities by claiming that Meyer was not fond of her own children and never pays taxes, but other than that

Trump isnt the only real-life politician who figures in the TV show. Timothy Simons, who plays the insufferable Jonah Ryan on Veep, said last month that his character is based on the charmless, graceless and universally disliked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
