Chris Rock‘s got jokes ahead of former President Donald Trump‘s expected detainment, arguing his arrest would only make him more popular, just like it once did for 2Pac.
According to a report from Deadline on Monday (March 20), the comedian addressed the topic at a recent event where Adam Sandler received the Mark Twain Humorist award. While presenting the honor to Sandler, Rock made the crowd laugh with his lines about Trump.
“Are you guys really going to arrest Trump? Do you know that this is only going to make him more popular?” Chris Rock said. “It is like arresting 2Pac. He’s just going to sell more records. Are you stupid? He slept with a porn star and paid off someone so his wife wouldn’t find out. That’s romantic.”
Trump is expected to be detained amid an ongoing investigation over whether alleged “hush money” paid to porn star Stormy Daniels should be considered an illegal campaign expense. In a post to his Truth Social account on Saturday (March 18), Trump himself posted about his pending arrest and tried to incite his followers to protest.
“I WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” he wrote.
However, the Washington Post reports that the disgraced politician’s advisers said they have not yet received a “notification” about an indictment, and that Trump was predicted the timing based on media reports.
In other news, Chris Rock made headlines earlier this month for his Netflix comedy special Selective Outrage, which was the first live show the streaming platform had ever aired. Of course he had to address the Will Smith Oscars slap – but he waited until about an hour into his set to do so.
When he finally did get to the topic, he explained that Will Smith actually inspired the title for the special.
“Will Smith practices ‘Selective Outrage,’” Rock explained. “Everybody who really knows, knows I had nothing to do with that shit. I didn’t have any ‘entanglements.’ His wife was fucking her son’s friend. I normally would not talk about this shit…
“I have no idea why two talented people would do something that fucking lowdown,” he continued. “We’ve all been cheated on. Everybody in here been cheated on. None of us has ever been interviewed by the person that cheated on us… on television. She hurt him way more than he hurt me.”
Chris Rock went on to tell the crowd that he attempted to reach out to Will Smith and offer his support following his now infamous sit-down on his wife Jada’s Red Table Talk.
“Everybody in the world called him a bitch,” he said, later referencing The Breakfast Club, Drink Champs, and other talk shows that poked fun at the situation. “I tried to call the muthafucka. I tried to call that man and give him my condolences. He didn’t pick up for me. Everybody called him a bitch and who does he hit? Me.”
As to what led him to include Jada in his onstage commentary at the Oscars, Chris Rock flat out said that she “started it” when she singled him out for agreeing to host the awards show in 2016.
“She fucking said [I] should quit because Will didn’t get nominated for Concussion,” he quipped. “What the fuck? So then I do some jokes about it. Who gives a fuck? That’s how it is. She started it. I finished it. Nobody’s picking on this bitch. She started this shit. Nobody was picking on her.”
He’s right. it’s only going to help him in 2024. That Manhattan DA is an absolute moron
The Manhattan DA can’t indict him. Neither can a political party.
This is how the legal system works – which you’d think as a hip-hop fan, you’d know this – unless a crime is committed in broad daylight, like say inciting a riot or threatening an election official on tape – you need to bring it before a grand jury.
If he is arrested, it’s not the DA doing it. It’s a jury of his peers reading through the evidence and saying, “We believe enough evidence exists to say that a crime was committed.” In a normal world where poverty stricken men haven’t turned homosexual and started worshipping Donald Trump, that would be enough for someone to say, “Maybe I shouldn’t vote for this person.” But in the American south, where there are more pregnant teenagers and unemployment cases than teeth or jobs, people have turned loopy. They literally worship rich men who tell them, “Yokel, I love you. Give me your vote.”
As I was saying, get therapy for your hero worship.
Trump restored my faith in america. But it has to be restored again
What was it that restored your faith? Was it the worst jobs record of any President in history? The 1 million dead from COVID? Maybe it was the threats to Ukraine’s now revered leader? Or maybe it was his insistence that Putin was a terrific person who wanted nothing but the best for all of us? Maybe it was the $5 trillion he spent in 2020 that led to inflation (the most any President has ever spent in history ever, or his shutting down the country in 2020 and killing 1/3 of small businesses.
Or maybe it was the redneck riot of January 6th where he committed election fraud and caused the deaths of 9 people.
Or maybe… it was that moment where he got thumped in a national election by an 80 year old who couldn’t even beat Jesse Jackson out of his own party’s primary in 1988. Who knows.
All I know is this: You dumb.
Many try to make Trump seem to be the Devil himself, however he was one of the better presidents. First of all he didn’t start a new war while the beloved Obama made hell from the well-functioning Libya. Of course he did it with his bestie, Sarkozy. Trump withdrew from Afghanistan that is also a good point. I know many Americans cry as they lost another war with this, but for fucks sake, Afghanistan is in the other side of the globe and you have nothing to do with them, but respect their culture. The present Taliban reign is not worse than the American occupation was. For example there’s no war in the country, so I can say it’s already a better situation. Finally Trump is criticized because of his racist tweets. Well, he is far from a great guy, and talking about Mexicans and Muslims like that is terrible. But these were words and not bombs. Remember Bush and Obama bombing civils in Iraq. Some meh news on tv for you, that cost their lives.
Sure snowflake, whatever waxes your dildo. You dumb POS, try watching something else than Fox FAKE NEWS.
Dumbdick, dems can’t stop him otherwise they would have. Maybe your brainwashed.
I’m not sure if you’re aware of this Hangman, but Donald Trump lost the 2020 election by a landslide.
You sound like a Russian writing the worst 10th grade term paper ever on why Donald Trump should be Putin’s henchman again. Nothing you said makes a bit of sense.
Who here remembers the time when Chris Rock was actually funny? Must be 1999 or something…. Now it’s one washed up joke about white people and n#ggas after the other. He’s even comparing trump with tupac FFS…… But when a black man slaps the snot out his nose on national television he just takes it like a bitch.

Definitely. Just like the impeachment added to his approval rating, as it also did for Bill Clinton. This case is over a potential misdemeanor within thr Stormy Daniel’s “hush money” case, when Stormy admitted in 2018, on camera, that she lied about everything, and they never had an affair. So, it’s not like they got Trump caught up in an charge for touching kids at Epstein Island. In fact, ZERO arrests have been made in regards to that. Those freaks are protected. I’m convinced if Trump was really a criminal, we’d know, because they’ve been investigating the guy for 7+ years straight.
So what you’re saying is that you’re a homosexual who loves Donald’s dildo.
White collar crime is different. Bernie Madoff was investigated for three decades. He still died in prison.
The richer they are, the longer it takes to put them where they belong. Seven years pales in comparison to many white collar crime investigations. The majority of the time, if they’re smart and just go away, they leave them alone.
But Donald is not smart. And so now he will go to prison. And if he doesn’t, he’ll suffer a fate worse than prison: He’ll get thumped by Joe Biden twice. If the mid-terms didn’t tell you that, nothing will. Even in the worst economy in 40 years, Americans were smart enough to realize this was because of Trump’s 2020 spending spree and piece by piece dismantling of the economy that year. We didn’t vote Biden in because he was Biden. We voted him in because Trump is Trump. And he’s only gotten crazier since then and actually incited a riot in broad daylight even after the country voted him back to hell where he came from.
So yeah, you’re really misreading independent voters here. Yokels in the south are crazy right now and live in conditions so bad that Mexicans wouldn’t even be jealous of them. They’re desperate for saviors. Of course they’ll vote for him. But no independent watching January 6th would vote for this psychopath. He’s not even a cool psychopath, he’s feeble and lame.
Trump was a good president with good policies. That’s all that matters. The demoncrats are turning America into a clown show. It’s becoming a laughing stock. From defunding the police even though crime is going up. To blaming everything on racism or one of the phobes. It’s being destroyed from within.
Crime has actually gone down.
“Good policies”
What policy was that? The $5 trillion he took from the government and shoveled out in 2020, causing the inflation you see today? Maybe it was the $1 trillion in tax breaks to Walmart. Or maybe it was having the worst record on jobs of any President in history.
In reality and not in your fantasy world, the country is much better off now than it was in 2020 when 1 million people died, riots were flooding the streets, a President committed election fraud in broad daylight, and Donald Trump pummeled the economy and sent it into the shitter before Biden ever took office.
All I can come up with is that Trump is paying posters lol
This is clearly someone who doesn’t know the law, much like any yokel who enjoys Donald’s sexiness.
Political parties don’t arrest people. DA’s don’t arrest people. Grand juries are private citizens who vote – voting is important, this is a vote, okay? – about whether or not a crime was committed. And if it was, they indict.
This is how the legal system in the United States works. It’s not political. It’s a jury of his peers who vote – this is a vote – on whether or not he committed a crime.
Now we know he incited a riot and caused the deaths o 9 people on January 6, 2021. And we know he threatened election officials in Georgia. And we know he falsified financial records. And we know he’s trying to cause violence in this country again even as people struggle to rebuild their lives during the worst price gouging in American history by the corporations he pumped full of money in 2020.
And yet here we are many years later arguing whether or not rich people can technically commit a crime.
It’s juvenile.
