Political Opinion

Chris Rock on point.

Chris Rock says arresting Donald Trump is like arresting Tupac Shakur: ‘He’s just going to sell more records. Are you stupid?’

Comedian Chris Rock said on Sunday that arresting Donald Trump would only boost his popularity.

He compared the possible indictment to how Tupac Shakur released a bestselling album from prison.

Rock was likely joking, but right-wing figures also say Trump could benefit from being indicted.

Comedian Chris Rock said arresting former President Donald Trump would be like imprisoning Tupac Shakur — arguing that it’ll only boost the bombastic 2024 presidential candidate and help Trump rally more support.

“Are you guys really going to arrest Trump?” Rock asked on stage at a Sunday event to award the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor to Adam Sandler, per multiple reports.

Rock joked that apprehending Trump “is only going to make him more popular,” The Guardian’s David Smith and Deadline reported.

“It is like arresting Tupac. He’s just going to sell more records,” Rock said, per Deadline.

"Are you stupid? He slept with a porn star and paid off someone so his wife wouldn’t find out. That’s romantic," Rock said.
