Eddie Murphy

December 16, 2019

Eddie Murphy will be hosting Saturday Night Live this week. He has no chance of being President unless, as John Mulaney says, people get real cool about a lot of stuff real soon. However, I would like to see him reprise many of his classic characters as President of the United States.

Eddie Murphy famously played the Little Rascals character, Buckwheat. It was clearly a racist-tinged take on a beloved, but non-PC, character. Would there be anything wrong with President Buckwheat referring to a white person at a campaign rally as “my Caucasian,” and calling Scandinavian countries shit holes.

As Mister Robinson, he played a character, who could reasonably be considered to be a child predator. Would there be anything wrong with President Robinson supporting child predator and Senatorial candidate Roy Moore of Alabama? Would Mr. Robinson have a problem having himself photographed with Jeffrey Epstein?

Velvet Jones was a con artist known for enticing victims to attend his School of Technology for ho’s. Would President Jones have a problem reaching a $20MM settlement with prosecutors over illegal business practices at his university?

Maybe Eddie Murphy as Stevie Wonder should be President. I would trust his vision more than Donald Trump’s.
