Trevor Noah applauded for explaining why some nations aren't mourning the Queen's death

Trevor Noah is being praised for his rational explanation as to why some countries are choosing not to mourn the Queen's death.

"I'm shocked that people want others who were under the British Empire to share the same level of mourning," he said on The Daily Show.

"You can't expect people to show respect for something that never respected them."
