A jacked, muscular Donald Trump impersonator was featured on the first post-election episode of Saturday Night Live as cast members who’ve been poking fun at the president-elect for years, tried to assure him that “we’ve been with you all along”.
“That’s right, it’s me, hot, jacked Trump,” James Austin Johnson said while dressed as the president-elect in a black tank top and red head band like a wrestler.
A sombre looking group of cast members opened the satirical comedy show, with Ego Nwodim saying many people watching found the election results “shocking and horrifying”.
Looking directly at the camera, they reminded the audience that Trump tried to overturn the results of the last election.
“This is the same Donald Trump who openly called for vengeance against his political enemies,” said Kenan Thompson.
“And that is why we at SNL would like to say to Donald Trump: we’ve been with you all along,” Thompson said.
They all went on to say how they voted for Trump and if there were lists of enemies, they really shouldn’t be on it.
“We have never wavered in our support of you, even when others doubted you,” Bowen Yang said.
Saturday Night Live was criticised for being biased for featuring Kamala Harris on last week just before the election. NBC had to offer equal airtime to Donald Trump and aired his address to voters after a Nascar race.
