Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update had plenty to say about Donald Trump‘s election win Tuesday.
For one, co-anchor Colin Jost joked, “We learned that Democrats actually don’t know how to rig an election.”
That Trump won all the battleground states and even the popular vote, Jost continued, makes him “like a character in GrandTheft Auto who throws aprostitute out of the car anddrives straight to the WhiteHouse.”
“But don’t you guys worry,” he continued. “If I know Democrats, they willtake a long look in the mirror,learn from their mistakes, andthen run Biden again in 2028.”
Michael Che said he should have known better than to expect Vice President Kamala Harris to win.
“How did I let you all convince me that ruralPennsylvaniawould pick the Jamaican-Indianlady?” he asked himself.
“Clearly, I have beenspending too much time with you white liberals and yourgoofy optimism.It wasn’t even close! At one point Trump was so farahead, they put in Bronny,” he joked, referring to the Los Angeles Lakers guard, whose father and teammate is LeBron James.
Jost then doubted Trump’s promise of a “golden age of America.”
“You know, because things turngolden when the sun is settingon them,” he said, in what was also a jab at Trump’s acuity.
Che, still shocked, jumped back in:
“You all let a man with 34 felonieslead the free world and bepresident of the United States.That’s it!I’m listening to R Kelly again!” he joked.“I already do, but I’m going tostop pretending I don’t.If white people can elect theirfelons, I can dance to mine.”
