Tony Rock says he doesn’t cheer for a second Donald Trump term as president… he admits there will be more jokes, but he doesn’t feel comedians have struck gold.
We discussed the comic at LAX on Wednesday… and we had to ask him again earlier this week about Trump ascending to the highest office in the land.

Rock starts off by joking about an interaction he had with a drug-sniffing dog as he got off the plane in LA… claiming he hadn’t seen one in a while, but he did at LAX – when the handler went to reportedly used to screen only black travelers for drugs.
TR says he immediately thought, “We’re automatically going back to those bulls***.”
We then asked if comedians can at least rip more content for jokes when it comes to Trump headlines… and while Tony says they can because they’re reporters who put a funny spin on the news, he says he doesn’t would use the term ‘gold mine’ because he doesn’t experience much happiness.
Rock says it’s the job of comedians like him to find humor in “all the damn things” Trump is up to.
As you know… Trump was inaugurated as the country’s 47th president Monday — and immediately moved to sign a series of executive orders that did 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 every person of color who voted for DJT.
In short… Tony says that comedians should look for jokes in a positive sense, but four extra years is not a gold mine!
