You're listening to Comedy Central. In

0:05

the time that I've been here, I've been following the presidential

0:08

race, and I've noticed that a few pieces of conventional

0:10

wisdom have formed around the candidates,

0:12

none more than with Donald Trump. Six

0:15

and ten Americans believe Trump is unqualified

0:18

to service president. He's not qualified to

0:20

be president, unfit to be president,

0:22

unfit to be commander in chief. But the boy

0:24

in Register writing that Trump is quote

0:26

not only unfit to hold office, but

0:29

unfit to stand on the same stage

0:31

as his Republican opponents. He's unfit

0:33

for that stage. No, that

0:36

stage is unfit for Trump. There's

0:38

no marble, there's no gold where the woman in bikinis,

0:42

and how would even get there, There's no escalator.

0:44

Come on, people. So

0:48

the complaints about Trump is that he's unpresidential,

0:51

and it stems from certain statements that he's

0:53

made. When Mexico sends

0:55

his people, they're bringing drugs, they're

0:58

bringing crime, they're apists,

1:00

and some are assume are good

1:02

people, and you know what

1:05

they say when you assume you're

1:07

the best that assuming Trump.

1:11

I know these comments about immigrants who are upsetting

1:14

to some people, but for me, as an African there's

1:16

just something familiar about Trump that

1:18

makes me feel at home. The influx

1:21

of illegal migrants, climb,

1:24

unfair business practices, drugs.

1:28

It is also not true that

1:31

all foreign nationals are involved

1:34

in criminal activities. There

1:38

are some who are, but not all

1:40

of them. I love how

1:42

we all waited like, oh, it's not so. That's

1:46

South African President Jacob Zoom are sounding a lot

1:49

like Donald Trump. You see, that's a light xenophobia

1:51

with just a dash of diplomacy, which

1:54

is also the title of Paula Deine's new book. So

2:03

so I don't see what's unpresidential about

2:06

Donald Trump. I mean, here's another thing.

2:08

He unnecessarily took heat for autism

2:10

has become an epidemic. The beautiful

2:13

child went to have the vaccine and

2:15

came back and a week later got

2:17

a tremendous fever, got very

2:19

very sick. Now is artistic? Now?

2:22

Was that factual? No? But

2:26

was it presidential? Depends where

2:28

you come from. Gambian President

2:30

yah Yah yah May says he can cure

2:32

aid using herbs and bananas. He

2:34

admits there will always be skeptics, but he says, quote,

2:37

mine is not an argument, Mine is a proof. It's

2:39

a declaration. I can cure AIDS and

2:41

I will. That's

2:44

right, that is right. The

2:48

president of Gambia says he can cure AIDS

2:50

with bananas, and I can also cure

2:53

cancer using AIDS. If

2:56

only I hadn't cured all that. AIDS are

3:00

crazy thing too, better

3:03

safe than sorry. What I'm trying

3:05

to say is Donald Trump is presidential. He

3:07

just happens to be running on the wrong continents in

3:10

face. In fact, once you, once you realize

3:12

that Trump is basically the perfect African

3:14

presidents, you start

3:16

to notice the similarities everywhere, Like

3:19

the level of self regard. I say

3:21

not in a braggadocious way.

3:24

I've made billions and billions of dollars.

3:26

I made a tremendous amount of money.

3:28

I'm really rich. I have a great temperament. They

3:30

love me anywhere. I don't have to do this. I've done an amazing

3:33

job. I was born with a certain intellect.

3:35

God help me by giving me a certain brain. I

3:39

bet that's the one time that God's like, I don't need the

3:41

praise. It's cool. Um, that's

3:44

you, that's you. I'm cool. Now

3:46

is that extraordinary level of bragging presidential?

3:48

Well, let's ask a man who actually was

3:50

president Idi I mean former presidents

3:53

and best president of Uganda. The

3:55

people losing me a very much. They're

3:58

very powerful. I am the one who has got

4:00

their money. I have got a very good brain.

4:12

I have a very good brain. And

4:15

I know this because every time I ask people if

4:17

I have a good brain, they say, of course it's their president.

4:20

Now please let my family go. You've already killed

4:23

my sister. I think you've proved your points. And

4:26

just to make sure everyone knew exactly how successful

4:28

he was, Idia I mean insisted on always being

4:31

referred to by his full title, and this

4:33

is completely true. His

4:35

Excellency President for Life Field

4:37

Marshal Al Haji Dr Idia

4:40

mean Dada VC, dear So MC,

4:42

Lord of all the beasts of the Earth and fishes

4:45

of the seas, and conquer of the British Empire

4:47

in Africa in general and Uganda

4:49

in particular. Luckily,

4:54

Idio I mean didn't own any casinos very

5:01

In fact, Trump is so African presidential he's

5:03

already at the level of Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe,

5:05

whose brutality and repressive tactics have

5:07

kept him in power for thirty five years.

5:10

My people have great praise for me.

5:12

People love me. Everybody loves me. The little

5:14

man. He's very low energy, and he's

5:17

ours. It's not European, it's

5:19

all that. And we

5:21

have taken it. We'll take our country back.

5:23

We will we we will be well

5:26

the time. We will have so much

5:28

winning if I get elected that you

5:30

may get bored with winning.

5:34

I feel like I'm winning right now. It's

5:38

really great to know that if anything ever happens to Trump,

5:41

we have a backup coffee in Africa. I like that,

5:44

actually, now that I think about it.

5:46

Trump reminds me of one African leader in particular.

5:49

Weird here check lavish

5:52

lifestyle, check fringe

5:55

discredited views about President Obama's origins

5:59

US with and along came

6:01

a black citizen of Kenyan African

6:04

origin, a Muslim. His name

6:07

is Obama. Check.

6:11

Oh, and there's one more thing. Gaddafi

6:13

put up a tent in the town of Bedford, about

6:16

forty miles outside of New York City. The property

6:18

in Westchester County where they're setting up

6:20

that tent is owned by none other than Donald

6:23

Trump. Yeah,

6:26

that's right. When Mama Gaddaffi came to America,

6:28

he could have stayed anywhere, but the only

6:30

place he felt truly at home was

6:32

in Donald Trump's yard. Now,

6:35

just by the way, our lawyers told us, we have to

6:37

mention that Trump told Gadafi to take

6:39

the tent down. And you see, you have to be careful

6:42

what you say about Donald Trump in public, not

6:45

unlike an African president. I

6:49

understand that Trump is a little scary,

6:54

a little exotic for some, a little

6:56

out of America's comfort zone. But

6:58

this great country is capable of bold

7:00

leaps. It took one in two thousand and

7:02

eight when it elected its first black presidents. Now

7:05

in I say it's time to

7:07

be bold once more and elects

7:09

America's first African presidents.

7:13

And when that happens, when a true

7:15

African finally enters the Oval office,

7:17

the people of Africa, when they erupted into

7:20

songs of praise car it

7:25

never ends. The Landini

7:29
