Tony Rock
Trump Term #2 No Comedy Gold Mine
… But you still have to find humor in the F-ed Up stuff

Tony Rock says he is not happy for a second Donald Trump The president’s term … admitting there will be more joke opportunities, but he doesn’t feel comedians have struck gold.
We caught up with the comedian at LAX on Wednesday … and we had to ask him about Trump’s ascension to the highest office in the land, again, earlier this week.

Rock begins by joking about an interaction with a drug-sniffing dog while getting off a plane in Los Angeles…claiming he hasn’t seen one in a while, but saw one in Los Angeles when his boss allegedly encouraged the animal to screen only black travelers for drugs.
TR says he immediately thought “Automatically, we’re going back on that bulls***”.
Then we asked if comedians could at least crack more jokes when it comes to Trump headlines… and while Tony says they can because they’re reporters making the news funny, he says, that he wouldn’t use the term “gold mine” because he doesn’t feel much success.
Rock says it’s the job of comedians like him to try to find humor in “all the things” Trump plans to do.
As you know… Trump’s inauguration took place as the nation’s 47th president on Monday — and immediately proceeded to sign a series of executive orders doing everything from withdrawing from the World Health Organization to changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Tony also talks about some of these executive orders … listen to the end of the clip to hear his raw thoughts on any person of color who voted for DJT.
Bottom line…Tony says comedians should look for jokes in the silver lining, but four more years isn’t a goldmine.
