Saturday Night Live is making a sarcastic attempt to get on President-elect Donald Trump‘s good side after the election.
Bowen Yang, Heidi Gardner, Marcello Hernández, Ego Nwodim, Sarah Sherman, Kenan Thompson and Colin Jost appeared in the cold open on Saturday night (November 10).
“On Tuesday, Americans went to the polls and elected Donald Trump to be the next president of the United States,” Bowen said, as Ego added: “To many people, including many people watching this show right now, the results were shocking and even horrifying.”

“Donald Trump, who tried to forcibly overturn the results of the last election, was returned to office by an overwhelming majority,” Heidi said, with Kenan adding: “This is the same Donald Trump who openly called for vengeance against his political enemies.”
Bowen and Ego added: “Now thanks to the Supreme Court, there are no guard rails, nothing to protect the people who are brave enough to speak out against him.”

“And that is why we at SNL would like to say to Donald Trump: we’ve been with you all along,” Kenan said, as Bowen added: “We have never wavered in our support of you, even when others doubted you.”
Sarah sarcastically added: “Every single person on this stage, believed in you.” Marcello said: “Every single person on this stage voted for you.”
“Because we see ourselves in you. We look at you and think, ‘That’s me,’” Ego went on, as Sarah said: “That’s the man I want my future children to look up to.”
Colin added: “And Mr. Trump, your honor, we know that you say things that are controversial sometimes, but really you’re just speaking the truth. And I hate how the lamestream media, Michael Che, tried to spin it to make you look foolish.”
Kenan went on: “So if you’re keeping some sort of list of your enemies, then we should not be on that list.” Bowen said: “If we find out someone here voted for Kamala, we will rat them out so fast.”
Later, they revealed their new impression: “Hot Jacked Trump.” James Austin Johnson’s Trump proceeded to make an appearance to show off his new look.
