Dave Chappelle has a message for 'poor white' Trump supporters in new stand-up special

President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers are seriously hoping their tax-code rewrite will gain popularity.

Presently, more than half of Americans disapprove of the bill Trump signed into law Friday, according to a CNN poll.

But that number could see a further decline if comedian Dave Chappelle's message gets out.

The comedian, who has previously criticized Trump's treatment of the "historically disenfranchised," has a new Netflix special coming out on New Year's Eve in which he tackles Trump, the economy and race.

Chappelle, who lives in an Ohio county that went for Trump in 2016, joked about "poor whites" being his least favorite group because of the trouble they've recently caused, alluding to their support for the president:

"I looked them right in their coal-smeared faces. And to my surprise, you know what I didn'tsee? I didn't see one deplorable face in that group. I saw some angry faces and some determined faces, but they felt like decent folk."

Chappelle previously said he suspected Trump would win based on his conversations with neighbors, fans and others outside of the liberal coastal metropolises that backed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. In his latest special, he said he began to feel sorry for low-income white Americans because he knows how they are viewed by wealthy elites from places like Manhattan.

"I know that rich white people call poor white people trash. And the only reason I know that is because I made so much money last year, the rich whites told me they say it at a cocktail party.

And I stood with them in line, like all of us Americans are required to do in a democracy - nobody skips the line to vote - and I listened to them. I listened to them say naive poor white people things: "Man, Donald Trump's gonna go to Washington, and he's gonna fight for us."

I'm standing there thinking in my mind: "You are poor. He's fighting for me."

1. Trump does have people who should support him.

Although they are few and all fit the category of white they too consider Trump trash. Trump is a threat to everyone, wealthy, poor, ethnic, racial, educated, uneducated. In a pinch this ass would betray his financial underwriters.
