In the latest SNL episode, hosted by Jon Hamm with musical guest Lizzo, a sketch revisits the Cleansing of the Temple with Mikey Day as Jesus. The scene transitions into a comic monologue from James Austin Johnson, impersonating Trump. In a humorous twist, Trump comically compares his actions as president to biblical events while joking about his economic policies and tariffs. The satire reflects a critical view of Trump's impact on the economy, cleverly intertwining biblical references with contemporary political commentary.
Johnson continued: Hi, it's me, your favorite president, Donald Jesus Trump, comparing myself to the son of God once again. You know, many people are even calling me the messiah, because of the mess-I-ah made out of the economy.
Remind you of anyone? he asked. Wow. I also got rid of money last week. But instead of one temple, I did whole country. Maybe even the globe. The money's gone.
