'SNL' Trump Casts Himself As A Tariff Messiah In Easter-Themed Opener
HuffPost
Impersonator James Austin Johnson boasted about "resurrecting the economy" in a sketch mocking the president's tariff crusade.
“Saturday Night Live” crucified President Donald Trump over his ongoing tariff crusade during this week’s cold open.
A parody of Christ driving moneylenders from the temple of Jerusalem came to a screeching halt when James Austin Johnson’s Trump burst in and smugly asked, “Remind you of anyone?”
“I also got rid of money last week, but instead of one temple, I did a whole country. Maybe even the globe,” he bragged. “The money’s gone.”
Praising himself, Johnson’s Trump dupe told audiences, “Hi, it’s me, your favorite president, Donald Jesus Trump, comparing myself to the son of God once again. Many people are even calling me the Messiah for the mess I made out of the economy. All because of my beautiful tariffs.”
All hell broke loose when Trump announced his unprecedented import tax agenda at the start of this month, prompting stock markets across the globe to go into free fall.
