‘SNL’ Weekend Update Trashes Trump’s Inauguration, Musk’s ‘Nazi’ Salute

Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update addressed Donald Trump‘s second inauguration, his dozens of controversial executive orders, and the salute by Elon Musk that has neo-Nazis and white nationalists overjoyed.

Co-anchor Colin Jost noted that during his oath, Trump was seen not placing his hand on the Lincoln Bible.

“Well, he tried to,” Jost said, “but the Bible screamed.”

“During his address, President Trump said he was changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,” Jost went on. “And, like you, Hillary Clinton could be seen in the background laughing while he said it, while Kamala could be seen silently begging her edible to kick in.”

Michael Che then addressed Trump’s pardoning and commutations of about 1,500 Jan. 6 rioters–among them Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who had been convicted of seditious conspiracy and was serving an 18-year sentence.

“And ladies, just like his eyes, he’s single!” Che said of Rhodes, who wears an eye patch.

“President Trump defended his pardon of the January 6 attackers, saying that these are just people that love their country,” Che continued. “You know, like how O.J. loved Nicole.”

Jost addressed another of Trump’s executive actions: directing the federal government to end diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.

“Worse,” Jost joked, “the order began, ‘Listen up, gaywads.'”

Che also weighed in on Musk’s straight-arm salute, which many are interpreting as a “Sieg Heil.”

“Elon Musk was criticized for his speech at a rally after the inauguration in which he appears to give the Nazi salute. But come on, Elon Musk is not a Nazi,” Che said of the man behind the Tesla Cybertruck. “The Nazis made nice cars.”

Jost followed that up by commenting on the White House posting photos on social media of migrants boarding military planes to be deported.

“And Trump said the deportations won’t stop until a white kid wins the Spelling Bee,” Jost joked.
