In a recent 'Saturday Night Live' cold open, Lin-Manuel Miranda reprised his role as Alexander Hamilton, joining a comedic commentary on President Trump's fictional second inauguration. Miranda’s Hamilton emphasized themes of equality and democracy, while comedian James Austin Johnson, portraying Trump, interrupted with satirical remarks about leadership and style, claiming his governance era was 'very whitely'. The skit tackled contemporary issues by contrasting Hamilton's ideals with Trump's controversial policies, punctuated by humor about Trump’s son Barron and the event's imaginary success.
What matters is the nation we build. Because in America, all men are created equal. America, not England. We're doing the sequel. And we will have leaders, but no one thing. In America we will never have a king.
But just like the founding fathers, I am creating a new country as well. And just like them, we're doing it very whitely. DEI is over. It's dead.
I'm back in the White House, just in time. Everything is back to how it was... Except now my new favorite son is Barron, and he is smacking his head on every door frame.
The inauguration was a tremendous success, joking, 'It was inside due to cold and fear. But we had a lot of surprise guests.'
