AceShowbiz - Chris Rock is no stranger to politics, having earned an Emmy nomination through his role as a political commentator for Comedy Central's "Politically Incorrect" during the 1996 Presidential election and ranted against then-president George W. Bush in 2008. Still, it was unexpected that he wanted to become a president himself.
In November 2016, the Democrat and supporter of former President Barack Obama suddenly tweeted, "I'm gonna run in 2020 wish me luck," along with a photoshopped version of "Head of State" poster. In the movie, he played the first African-American president. Interestingly, he made the announcement just after Trump's victory. It seemed that his tweet was a sarcastic response to the results of the election or Trump's victory made it appear that it's possible for anyone to make it into the White House, but the comedian didn't join the race in 2020.
