Dave Chappelle hosted Saturday Night Live last night on the eve of Donald Trump’s second inauguration. I did not expect I’d be sharing a message of hope and inspiration from Dave Chappelle but here we are.

He took inspiration from the late-Jimmy Carter who he saw walk into Gaza to witness the scenes of suffering firsthand.

“I will never forget the images of a former American president walking with little to no security while thousands of Palestinians were cheering him on. When I saw that picture, it brought tears to my eyes,” said Chappelle. “I don’t know if that’s a good president but that right there, I am sure, is a great man.”

Chappelle went on to urge Donald Trump to rise above his selfish concerns and do better for the nation and the world. For all of us to put our differences aside and empathize with each other’s struggles.

“The presidency is no place for petty people … remember, whether people voted for you or not, they’re all counting on you. Whether they like you or not, they’re all counting on you. The whole world is counting on you. I mean this when I say this, good luck. Please, do better next time. Please, all of us, do better next time. Do not forget your humanity and please have empathy for displaced people whether they’re in the Palisades or Palestine.”
