SNL Parodies Trump's Tariffs and Tesla Woes

News summary

Saturday Night Live's recent episode featured a satirical take on President Donald Trump's new tariffs, with James Austin Johnson impersonating Trump and coining the term 'Make America Great Depression Again' to mock the economic implications. The skit emphasized the randomness of the tariff numbers and joked about an impending depression where Americans might end up eating pets. Elon Musk, played by Mike Myers, also appeared, introducing a self-vandalizing Tesla model amidst ongoing criticism of Tesla's market performance. The episode further mocked Morgan Wallen's abrupt stage exit the previous week, using his phrase 'Get me to God's country' in the sketch. The comedic portrayal of the tariffs and Tesla's challenges drew mixed reactions, with some finding the humor distasteful.
