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

7:32
don't have a word for Mexican rapists. The
