All-star comic Dave Chappelle is one of the limited few in his field to avoid ripping President Donald Trump with every punchline. The comedy king criticized the anti-Trump angle taken uniformly by the comedy community, telling The New York Times that he doesn’t want to be part of the “chorus.”
Discussing some of his contemporaries still in the field, Chappelle brought up President Trump. “But the whole Trump things makes it harder for comedians,” he said.
“He’s so skewed, it’s hard to find an angle that sounds fresh,” he added. “If you talk about him, it’s almost like you’re part of the chorus and not a soloist.”
In his new Netflix special, Chappelle rarely takes on Trump. This separates the comic from the “chorus” of Trump-ripping comedians currently dominating the culture.

[divider][/divider]Dave Chappelle admits to feeling sorry for the “poor white” population who voted for Trump in a new comedy routine.
Chappelle will return to the small screen with a new stand-up special, “Equanimity,” set to stream on Netflix December 31, with a segment dedicated to his sympathy for “poor white” Trump voters.
In the routine, the comedian explained that he spoke with several Trump supporters in that demographic while in line to vote last year, and they told him they were voting for the now president because he was going to fight for them.
Chappelle then says in the bit: “I’m standing there, thinking in my mind, ‘You dumb motherf—ers. You are poor. He’s fighting for me.’’’
The comedian goes on to compliment the group of people he spoke with, calling them “decent folk,” but called their comments about Trump “naive, poor, white-people things.” – READ MORE
