The hosts of the "SNL" news segment took turns mocking the president-elect ahead of his inauguration.
“Weekend Update” host Colin Jost clowned Donald Trump over his official inaugural portrait just days before he takes the oath of office on Monday.
“Well, guys, it is the dawn of a new era. Donald Trump released his official inaugural portrait and the photo was lit, I assume, by hell opening up,” quipped the host of the “Saturday Night Live” news segment.
He joked that the president-elect — whose portrait sparked comparisons with his 2023 mugshot — was trying to “look so hardcore” in the photo that he’s “surprised he didn’t add a parental advisory and a durag” to it.
“And then Trump also released the official portrait of JD Vance,” added Jost as an image of a silhouette atop a transparent background flashed to the side of him.
