Lin-Manuel Miranda reprised his role as Alexander Hamilton on a recent episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Timothée Chalamet. During a comedic skit about the Founding Fathers, he performed a rap emphasizing the ideals of liberty and equality in America. The mood shifted when 'Trump,' played by James Austin Johnson, interrupted, promoting a satirical narrative of returning to a 'very white' America, critiquing modern inclusivity efforts, and humorously commenting on the historical fashion of the Founding Fathers. The skit juxtaposed Miranda's empowering message with Johnson's absurd portrayal of contemporary political themes.
"In America, we will never have a king. Our lives matter not if we lose them in the cause of liberty. What matters is the nation we built."
"But just like the founding fathers, I am creating a new country as well. And just like them, we're doing it very white-ly."
"What a weird way to dress, right? A little zesty... Hand me my wig and my tights and my big blousy shirts."
