In the time that I've been here,
I've been following the presidential race
and I've noticed that a few pieces of conventional wisdom
have formed around the candidates.
None more than with Donald Trump.
[Reporter] 6 in 10 Americans believe Trump
is unqualified to serve as president.
He's not qualified to be President.
Unfit to be President.
[Reporter] Unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.
The Des Moines Register writing that Trump is,
"Not only unfit to hold office,
but unfit to stand on the same stage
as his Republican opponents."
He's unfit for that stage.
No, that stage is unfit for Trump.
[audience laughing]
There's no marble, there's no gold.
Where are the woman in bikinis?
And how would he even get there?
There's no escalator.
Come on, people.
[audience applauding]
So, the complaints about Trump is that he's unpresidential,
and it stems from certain statements that he's made.
When Mexico sends its people they're bringing drugs,
they're bringing crime, they're rapists,
and some, I assume are good people.
And you know what they say when you assume
you're the best at assuming, Trump.
I know these comments about immigrants
who are upsetting to some people,
but for me as an African, there's just something familiar
about Trump that makes me feel at home.
The influx of illegal migrants, crime,
unfair business practices, drugs.
It is also not true that all foreign nationals
are involved in criminal activities.
There are some who are, but not all of them.
[Trevor laughing]
I love how we all waited like, oh, he is not so, aah.
[audience laughing]
That's South African President Jacob Zuma
sounding a lot like Donald Trump.
You see that's a light xenophobia
with just a dash of diplomacy,
which is also the title of Paula Deen's new book.
[audience laughing]
[audience applauding]
So, I don't see what's unpresidential about Donald Trump.
I mean, here's another thing he unnecessarily took heat for.
Autism has become an epidemic.
The beautiful child went to have the vaccine
and came back and a week later got a tremendous fever,
got very, very sick, now is autistic.
Now, was that factual?
No, but was it presidential?
Depends where you come from.
Gambian President Yahya Jammeh
says he can cure AIDS using herbs and bananas.
He admits there will always be skeptics.
But he says, "Mine is not an argument, mine is a proof.
It's a declaration. I can cure AIDS, and I will."
[Trevor laughing]
That's right, that is right.
[audience applauding]
The President of Gambia says he can cure AIDS with bananas
and I can also cure cancer using AIDS,
[audience laughing]
if only I hadn't cured all that AIDS.
Aah!
A crazy thing to, better safe than sorry.
What I'm trying to say is Donald Trump is presidential.
He just happens to be running on the wrong continent.
In fact, once you realize that Trump is,
basically, the perfect African president
you start to notice the similarities everywhere.
Like the level of self regard.
I say not in a braggadocious way.
I've made billions and billions of dollars.
I made a tremendous amount of money.
I'm really rich.
I have a great temperament.
They love me anyway.
I don't have to do this.
I've done an amazing job.
I was born with a certain intellect.
God help me by giving me a certain brain.
[audience laughing]
I bet that's the one time that God's like,
I don't need the praise, it's cool.
That's you, that's you, I'm cool.
Now, is that extraordinary level of bragging presidential?
Well, let's ask a man who, actually, was president,
Idi Amin, former President and best President of Uganda.
The people likes me very much.
I am very popular.
I am very powerful.
I am the one who has got the money.
I have got a very good brain.
[audience applauding]
I have a very good brain.
And I know this, because every time I ask people
if I have a good brain, they say,
"Of course, Mr. President.
Now, please let my family go.
You've already killed my sister.
I think you've proved your point."
[audience laughing]
And just to make sure everyone knew exactly
how successful he was,
Idi Amin insisted on always being
referred to by his full title.
And this is completely true.
"His Excellency, President for Life,
Field Marshall Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada,
VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth
and Fishes of the Seas and Conquer of the British Empire
in Africa in general, and Uganda in Particular."
[audience applauding]
Luckily, Idi Amin didn't own any casinos.
[audience laughing]
Yeah, in fact, Trump is so African presidential.
He's already at the level
of Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe,
whose brutality and repressive tactics
have kept him in power for 35 years.
My people have great praise for me.
People love me, everybody loves me.
The little man.
He's very low energy.
Land is ours, it's not European, it's our land.
And we have taken it.
We'll take our country back.
We will win.
We'll be winning all the time.
We will have so much winning, if I get elected,
that you may get bored with winning.
[audience applauding]
Oh, I feel like I'm winning right now.
Oh, it's really great to know that,
if anything ever happens to Trump,
we have a backup coffee in Africa.
I like that.
Actually, now that I think about it,
Trump reminds me of one African leader in particular.
Weird hair, check.
Lavish lifestyle, check.
Fringe discredited views about President Obama's origins.
[Muammar Gaddafi speaking in foreign language]
[Translator] And along came a Black citizen
of Kenyan, African origin, a Muslim.
His name is Obama.
Check.
Oh, and there's one more thing.
Gaddafi put up a tent in the town of Bedford
about 40 miles outside of New York City.
The property in Westchester County
where they're setting up that tent
is owned by none other than Donald Trump.
[audience laughing]
Yeah, that's right.
When Muammar Gaddafi came to America,
he could have stayed anywhere,
but the only place he felt truly at home
was in Donald Trump's yard.
[audience laughing]
Now, just by the way our lawyers told us,
we have to mention that Trump told Gaddafi
to take the tent down.
And you see, you have to be careful
what you say about Donald Trump in public,
not unlike an African president.
[audience laughing]
Now, I understand that Trump is a little scary.
[audience laughing]
A little exotic for some.
A little out of America's comfort zone,
but this great country is capable of bold leaps.
It took one in 2008 when it elected
its first Black President.
Now in 2016, I say, it's time to be bold once more
and elect America's first African President.
[audience laughing]
And when that happens, when a true African
finally enters the Oval Office,
the people of Africa will erupt into songs of praise.
[Trevor speaking in foreign language]
Mexican rapists.
[audience laughing]
We don't have a word for Mexican rapists.
You know, I remember like when we started the show
I did a piece on Trump and I said,
"Donald Trump is an African dictator."
And I think at this stage, maybe I take it back.
I think he's worse.
[audience laughing]
No, I'll tell you why.
I'll tell you why,
'cause I've bet you like African,
you know, you can say many things about African dictators,
but they still have like a certain poise to them, you know?
Like I bet they watch Donald Trump now
and they're like, "You can say many things about me, eh,
but I'm not rude.
[audience laughing]
Now, remove that man's head."
