Dave Chappelle offers Trump words of encouragement on SNL, advising him to improve.
On Monday, Jan. 20, Trump will be officially sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.
During his "Saturday Night Live" monologue, comedian Dave Chappelle wished President-elect Donald Trump good luck while also challenging him to improve his performance.
"The presidency demands maturity, not pettiness. I know you're a fan of the show, Donald Trump. Remember, regardless of whether people supported you or not, they rely on you. Whether they like you or not, they depend on you," Chappelle stated.
Trump will be officially inaugurated on Monday, Jan. 20.
The comedian emphasized the importance of doing better next time, urging all of us to remember our humanity and have empathy for displaced people, whether they are in the Palisades or Palestine.
In his monologue, Chappelle honored Jimmy Carter by recounting a tale of Carter's visit to Israel and strolling through Palestinian territory with minimal security.
The comedian stated that he would always remember the sight of a former American president strolling with minimal security amidst thousands of Palestinians applauding him.
Trump's 2016 win marked the beginning of Chappelle's hosting of the first "Saturday Night Live" episode.
At that moment, he stated, "I will grant him an opportunity, and as historically marginalized individuals, we demand the same chance for ourselves."
Hours after the 2020 presidential race was officially called for President Joe Biden, Chappelle hosted SNL again.
"Now that Trump is gone," Chappelle remarked, joking about the president's reaction to the coronavirus. He said, "When I heard him call it the 'Kung-flu,' I thought to myself, 'You racist, hilarious son of a b----,' adding, 'I’m supposed to say that, not you. It’s wrong when you say it.'"
