CELEBS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Comedian Dave Chappelle said in an upcoming CNN interview, taped last week, that although he supports Kanye West, the rapper ‘shouldn’t say all that s***’ aligning himself with President Donald Trump. West tweeted a picture of a Make America Great Again hat last month with a caption calling for the abolition of the 13th Amendment, which freed slaves in the United States but allowed for the indentured servitude of convicted criminals. West has alleged that ‘to take the fathers out the home and promote welfare … is a Democratic plan’ and that slavery was ‘a choice.’ In an interview with CNN’s Van Jones and 2018 Democratic Maryland gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous, set to air at 7 p.m. ET Saturday, Jones asked Chappelle what he thought of West’s recent statements against the Democratic Party.”
