Chappelle －Trump Gets “Too Much Credit” For America’s Current State Of Affairs

Dave Chappelle says President Trump gets “too much credit” for America’s current state of affairs when he’s actually symptomatic of a bigger phenomenon the country is going through.

Chappelle and fellow comedian Jon Stewart gave an interviewto CNN’s Christiane Amanpour this week, and he said that Trump’s election to the presidency is not solely responsible for America’s divided sociopolitical condition. He made this point by saying whether Russia interfered with the election or not, that doesn’t explain how America is currently in a quagmire over racism and similar issues.

“Even when they say that Russia influenced the election, it’s kind of like, is Russia making us racist?” Chapelle jokingly asked. “Is that who’s doing it? Oh okay, thank goodness, I thought it was us.”

Chapelle continued to say that he rejects the notion of the “Trump era” because “he’s not making the wave. He’s surfing it.”
