“Saturday Night Live” poked fun at President Donald Trump’s handling of the global economic situation caused by his tariffs, with a cold open spoofing the biblical “Cleansing of the Temple.” In the skit, Jesus, played by Mikey Day, cleaned out the temple of profiteers, which was likened to Trump’s actions with tariffs. James Austin Johnson’s Trump character took credit for the economic turmoil caused by his tariffs but claimed to have restored the economy. He joked about the stock market’s ups and downs during the crisis, comparing it to Jesus’ resurrection. Trump also made jokes about attending church only on Christmas and Easter, saying he doesn’t go on those days either. Host Jon Hamm and musical guest Lizzo were featured on the episode. “SNL” is known for its political satire and humor, often taking jabs at current events and political figures. The show airs on NBC, which is a division of NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News. The skit provided humorous commentary on the economic impact of Trump’s policies, blending current events with biblical references for a satirical take on the situation.
