Naturally, SNL didn’t hold back in their roasting of Trump in the latest episode, which aired on Saturday and saw James Austin Johnson return as the former president. “Well, folks, it happened, I got indicted, or as I spell it, indicated,” Johnson’s Trump said, adding: “Make no mistake, what the radical left is doing is worse than any crime I have ever committed.” He then added: “Since the news of my possible imprisonment, I’ve never seen Melania happier. You never pay people.” Later in the episode, Mikey Day, as Trump’s son Don Jr, says: “It might be the last time I see you,” to which Johnson’s Trump replies: “Farom your mouth to God’s ears.” James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump on ‘SNL’ Elsewhere on SNL, Colin Jost fell victim to an “evil” prank pulled by his Weekend Update co-host Michael Che, which Jost branded “the meanest thing” Che has “ever done”. The former president has fumed about the indictment in statements posted on his Truth Social platform since Thursday where he railed against the “corrupt” charges, claimed he can’t get a fair trial in New York, and lashed out at Judge Juan Merchan who is assigned to the case.
