The Founding Fathers – joined by Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton – tried to raise a glass to freedom on “Saturday Night Live,” but were interrupted by James Austin Johnson as President Donald Trump. In the show’s cold open on Saturday, Miranda, reprising the role that shot him to stardom via the Broadway stage, joined the rest of the Founding Fathers as they signed the Declaration of Independence. “I say our lives matter not if we lose them in the cause of liberty. What matters is the nation we build,” Miranda said, before rapping. “‘Cause in America, we’re all created equal. America, not England. We’re doing the sequel. And we will have leaders, but know one thing. In America, we will never have a king,” he said in rhythm. That’s when Johnson as Trump appeared, joking, “Never say Never.” “Kidding, of course, but in many ways I’m not,” Johnson’s Trump said.
