Hey, did you catch Saturday Night Live lately? They totally roasted Donald Trump’s tariff plans, and it was hilarious! I’m not big on economics, but SNL made it so easy to get why everyone’s talking about tariffs. Their sketches were packed with laughs, and I’ve got to share the best parts.
Last night’s show had James Austin Johnson doing his awesome Trump impression. He came out as “Donald Jesus Trump” in this Easter-themed bit, joking about tariffs messing up the economy. One line about the stock market “doing a Jesus”—crashing, rising, then crashing again—had me cracking up. It’s such a clever way to show how wild things are getting with all this trade talk.
Then, on Weekend Update, Colin Jost and Michael Che kept the jokes coming. Jost said Trump’s tariff plan was like “crashing your car into the DMV and still getting your license.” So funny! Bowen Yang popped up as a Chinese trade guy, shrugging off tariffs like they’re no big deal. His chill vibe made the whole thing even sillier.
What I love about SNL is how they take something complicated like tariffs and make it relatable. They’re not just poking fun at Trump—they’re showing how this stuff affects regular people, like when prices go up at the store. It’s smart but doesn’t feel preachy.
If you haven’t seen it, go watch these sketches! They’re all over X, and fans are loving them. SNL’s on fire with this one, and I bet they’ll keep the tariff jokes coming. What’s your favorite SNL moment lately? Let me know!
