On a recent episode of “Saturday Night Live,” the show’s cold open spoofed President Donald Trump’s handling of tariffs by likening him to Jesus cleansing the temple of profit-seekers. Actor James Austin Johnson played Trump, who took credit for disrupting the economy with his tariffs but also claimed to have fixed it. He joked about his administration profiting off the turmoil and dismissed concerns about the transfer of wealth. Trump tied his rambling speech back to Easter, drawing parallels between the stock market and the resurrection. Host Jon Hamm and musical guest Lizzo also appeared on the show. The episode attempted to bring humor to the serious economic issues caused by Trump’s policies. “SNL” airs on NBC, a division of NBCUniversal, which is the parent company of NBC News.
