On a recent episode of “Saturday Night Live,” the show took on the global economic turmoil caused by President Trump’s uncertain tariffs. The cold open was a spoof of Jesus cleansing the temple, with James Austin Johnson playing Trump as the self-proclaimed “Donald Jesus Trump.” Trump took credit for the economic chaos caused by his tariffs, claiming to have restored the economy to normalcy by losing trillions of dollars. He joked about a historic transfer of wealth to his friends and made light of questionable stock positions taken by his inner circle. Despite the turmoil, Trump said the economy was back to how it was, ironically comparing it to Jesus rising from the dead. The host that night was Jon Hamm, with Lizzo as the musical guest. The episode brought humor to a serious topic, highlighting the absurdity of the situation while poking fun at Trump’s perceived messianic complex and lack of religious observance. The sketch offered a satirical take on the economic impact of Trump’s policies and the fluctuations in the stock market, delivering laughs while addressing a timely and relevant issue. The episode aired on NBC, which is also the parent company of NBC News.
