‘Last Man Standing’ Season 7 News: Tim Allen Talks Trump and Fallout of Political Stance

Tim Allen used to be known as one of America’s most beloved TV actors, but this changed recently when he decided to express his political views. It’s a wonder that “Last Man Standing” Season 7 is still going to be a real thing at this point, but this was only made possible because Fox intervened. As for whether or not viewers should see it, the actor only asks one thing: “Who cares what I think?!”

Prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Tim Allen’s Republican political affiliation did not really present much of an issue. A lot of this was because he kept things to himself. However, after becoming more vocal about politics, ABC decided to ax his show last year. “Last Man Standing” Season 7 would not have happened if Fox had not picked the series up.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the right-leaning TV personality talked about a lot of things, one of which had to do with whether or not he was a fan of the current U.S. president. The actor would not commit to the question and preferred to say that he did not really know. In the end, he said that he would rather people watch “Last Man Standing” Season 7 than obsess over his political views.

On that note, even the episodes in “Last Man Standing” Season 7 might become something of an issue given Tim Allen’s conservative views. In one episode, for example, his character, Mike Baxter, will be selling guns in his store. This is about as politically charged as things could get, with those on the left generally pushing for stricter gun laws.

It can be difficult to see how “Last Man Standing” Season 7 will do given its main character being played by someone so controversial. Perhaps its Sept. 28 premiere is going to shed some light into this matter. At least Tim Allen seems excited by the prospect, Cinemablend reports.
