SNL Easter Skit Mocks Trump's Economic Policies

In a recent 'Saturday Night Live' episode, James Austin Johnson portrayed Donald Trump in an Easter-themed skit, drawing parallels between Trump's economic policies and biblical stories. The skit humorously depicted Trump comparing himself to Jesus, claiming many call him the 'Messiah' for the economic 'mess' caused by his tariffs and referencing the stock market's fluctuations as similar to Jesus' resurrection. Trump's tariffs, initially implemented, were paused after causing market instability, leading to a temporary recovery before declining again. The sketch also highlighted issues like rising inflation and the price of eggs, adding comedic elements about Easter traditions. The skit was part of an episode hosted by Jon Hamm, with musical guest Lizzo.
