“A famous, wonderful man arrested for no reason at all,” said SNL’s fake Donald Trump — played by cast member James Austin Johnson — during the opening of this week’s edition of Saturday Night Live.
Standing in front of a re-enactment of the Last Supper, fake Trump added, “If you haven’t put it together folks, I’m comparing myself to Jesus. Again. And what better time than on his birthday, Easter? … We’re both very tall, very popular, and both, frankly, white Americans.”
In a shout-out to the “stand back and stand by” crowd, SNL’s Trump continued, “A lot of his followers got in big, big trouble, just like mine. All because I told them exactly what Jesus would have said: ‘Get very violent and start a war.'”
“Because I’m a self-made billionaire and Christ was — let’s call it what it is — a nepo baby. I mean, his dad was God. It’s pretty easy to start a religion when your daddy’s God.”
SNL’s Trump also attacked Ron DeSantis.
“And I’ve even got my very own Judas: Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis came to me with tears in his eyes. He said, ‘Help me, Mr. Trump. I’m going to lose my election.’ So I very generously pretended to like him. And then he did a Judas and now he can’t even get the gays out of Disney World. It’s an awful shame.”
