Dave Chappelle reviews his 2016 Trump SNL speech and if he is well aged
Dave Chappelle says that “with love” recalls his 2016 monologue in “Saturday Night Live”, which was recorded only days after Donald Trump was elected president for the first time, even if others may have concerns about how well the speech has aged.
The comedian, who included words of Esperanza when Trump prepared to take the White House for the first time, has delivered “SNL” Similar sets, after the victory of former President Joe Biden in 2020 and before the recent inauguration of Trump.
Chappelle has avoided interviews since the flood flood flood in its 2021 Netflix “The Closer” divided the spectators, but recently sat down for a variety of “actors about the actors” with other comics Mo Amer, in which he met his 2016 monologue about Trump.
“I have not seen it in a long time, but I remember it with love,” Chappelle said in the video published on Wednesday.
The comedian delivered a cautiously hopeful monologue at that time and said that he would give Trump “an opportunity” if he gave him “historically private pandemic”, like Amer, a Palestinian comic that was approaching during the Covid-19 pandemic, he remembered him in the video.
“Oh, I remember that part,” said Chappelle. “Do you know what? I see it as a photograph. That is what he felt at that time. Now, whether or not, I do not get angry if I look at a photo because it is not today. That is what it was at that time.”
“You could look at an old set and a shocking set, but you could shudder for how you were at that time,” he continued.

However, Chappelle certainly did not praise Trump at that time and clearly said that “an internet troll” had won the White House. He also touched Trump’s alleged sexual aggressions, and how different he felt after the election of former President Barack Obama in 2008.
“And it made me very happy with the prospects of our country,” Chappelle said in 2016 to see Obama in the White House. “Then, with that spirit, I am looking forward to Donald Trump. And I will give him a chance. And we historically deprived of his rights, we demand that he also give us one.”

Trump imposed a prohibition of traveling to several Muslim majority countries during his first mandate and then refused to grant the 2020 elections after losing to Joe Biden. Since he returned to the White House in January, Trump launched mass deportations, and imposed a new travel ban on Wednesday against a dozen nations.
