Star Alan Cumming Says New CBS Show 'Instinct' Contains Hidden Anti-Trump Message

Alan Cumming, star and executive producer of the upcoming CBS procedural Instinct, has revealed that that the show contains a subliminal message urging resistance to President Donald Trump. Cumming dropped the bombshell revelation at a Television Critics Association event as reported by sandwich-themed Hollywood gossip blog The Wrap.

The show's title cart features a backward "N," and Cumming says that has a particular significance.

"I think it's a secret code about saying no to Trump," Cumming revealed. "Just say no."

The hidden message isn't likely to sit well with Trump supporters, who are already on the lookout for liberal media conspiracies out to get the President. The news must hurt even more considering CBS's demographics skew toward older viewers, the same cable news loving constituents that are likely to love Trump. Finding anti-Trump messages in CBS's programming must feel like a particularly nasty blow to the President, almost as bad as if the same messages were found in Trump's totally real favorite network, The Gorilla Channel.

Here's the description of the show, which debuts on Friday, February 16th:

Instinct stars Alan Cumming as a former CIA operative who is lured back to his old life when the NYPD needs his help to stop a serial killer. Dr. Dylan Reinhart is a gifted author and university professor living a quiet life teaching psychopathic behavior to packed classes of adoring students. But when tenacious top NYPD detective Lizzie Needham appeals to him to help her catch a serial murderer who is using Dylan's first book as a tutorial, Dylan is compelled by the case and comes out of retirement. Helping them is Julian Cousins, Dylan's invaluable CIA comrade who rivals Dylan in brilliance and wit, and can get top-secret dirt on anyone, anywhere, anytime. Lizzie's boss, Lt. Jasmine Gooden, is glad to see her best detective finally agree to work with someone on a case, since Lizzie has refused any partner since a tragic event one year ago. But as Dylan feels reenergized tapping into his old skill set, his husband, Andy, is concerned that Dylan's breaking their pact about putting away his cloak and dagger for good. Though Dylan and Lizzie initially clash, when it comes to catching killers, they realize they will make an ideal team if they both trust their instincts. Based on the James Patterson novel.
