Dave Chappelle’s SNL Monologue: Dave Chappelle’s Message to Donald Trump on SNL: “Whether people vote for you or not…”
In what has been hailed as one of the greatest monologues in the history of Saturday Night Live, Dave Chappelle made a plea to President-elect Donald Trump as he’s fully prepared for tomorrow’s inauguration. “Whether people vote for you or not, they’re all counting on you. Whether they like you or not, they’re all counting on you. The whole world is counting on you. I mean it when I say this. Good luck.” Please do better next time. Please everyone, do better next time, don’t forget your humanity, and have compassion for the displaced, whether they are in Palisades or Palestine,” he said, adding that he knows that Donald Trump is watching Saturday Night Live.
Dave Chappelle also shared a touching story about the time he was inspired by the late President Jimmy Carter. “I’ve been in the Middle East for years, after I left my show. “I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life,” the comedian said. “While I was there, Jimmy Carter flew to Israel, so everyone in the region was talking about a former American president being in the Middle East.”
Chappelle added that while Carter was in Israel, he was releasing his controversial 2006 book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” and decided he wanted to visit the Palestinian territories even though the Israeli government at the time advised against it and told him it would not. You won’t be able to protect him adequately.
“And man, Jimmy Carter went anyway. “I will never forget the images of the former US president walking without any security while thousands of Palestinians were cheering him on,” Chappelle said. “And when I saw that picture, it brought tears to my eyes. “I said, ‘I don’t know if this is a good president, but I’m sure he is a great man.'”
“The presidency is no place for petty people,” Dave Chappelle said as he appealed to Donald Trump.
