Dave Chappelle: Donald Trump Is a 'Bad DJ at a Good Party'

Dave Chappelle stopped by The Late Show on Wednesday to discuss his August residency at Radio City Music Hall and revisit his famous Saturday Night Live monologue from last November. At the time, the comedian said he was willing to give President Trump the benefit of the doubt. 

"It's not like I wanted to give him a chance that night," Chappelle clarified to Colbert "[But] I feel like a lot of white Americans finally got to see what an election night looks like for many black Americans every cycle."

Chappelle believes Americans will not only weather Trump's presidency, he suggested that his policies will create better voters. "In the last six months I think we're all getting an education about the presidency," Chappelle added. "I don't know that I've ever heard in the popular discourse people discussing ethics this much. And I didn't even realize how ethics were necessarily supposed to work at that level of government, and he's putting all this stuff on the forefront.

"I think [Trump]'s gonna make a more informed and better voter," Chappelle said. "He's a polarizing dude. He's like a bad DJ at a good party."

he is still trying to play that line so as not to lose part of his audience.

I wish he would stop that and get ruthless, it would be much funnier but he has to know that.

I am such a big fan that I probably shouldnt say any of this, he knows better than I do.
