Donald Trump Floats Hannibal Lector As Possible VP Pick In Searing 'SNL' Open
HuffPost
The fictional serial killer has come up in Trump's campaign speeches multiple times over the past few months.
“Saturday Night Live” poked fun at the circus surrounding Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick during the cold open of this weekend’s season finale.
James Austin Johnson was in top form as he tacked on his Trump wig to address people outside of the Manhattan courthouse, where the former president’s criminal trial is currently taking place.
“I don’t like being in court because they say very mean things about me as I’m trying to sleep,” he sneered, a nod to reports Trump has been snoozing during proceedings.
After some hemming and hawing about the trial and the upcoming November elections, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate turned his attention to his potential picks for vice president.
“I have invited a few names from my short bus ― I mean short list ― to come to court and do a little dance for me,” he told crowds, tipping his hat to the team of Republican politicians who showed up to support him in court last week.
