Bret Easton Ellis wants you to know that he cares squat about politics.

“I just cannot get that worked up over the absurdity of the president,” he sighs, “the absurdity of politics in general.”

He is long done with Trump, the hero of his blood-spattered “American Psycho” protagonist, Patrick Bateman. The president, Ellis says, “is just a comic figure who tripped into something.”

The novelist didn’t just skip the 2016 election. “I’ve never voted for president,” says Ellis, 55, sitting in his publisher’s Midtown Manhattan offices, promoting his new memoirish amalgam of essays, “White,” his first book in almost a decade. Senator? “No.” He can’t be bothered.
