Saturday Night Live continued its tradition of political satire during its latest episode by lampooning former President Donald Trump. In a new sketch, the show comically envisioned Trump as the next Pope, complete with papal robes and grandiose declarations, further amplifying his penchant for self-aggrandizement.
The scene humorously depicted Trump adopting religious authority while maintaining his familiar public persona, blending political commentary with exaggerated theatrical flair. Among the highlights were references to Trump’s recent comments urging Americans to “be patient” as the economy experiences turbulence.
The sketch drew laughs for its parody of Trump’s communication style, juxtaposing spiritual authority with his typical business-like demeanor. The performance is part of SNL’s ongoing commentary on contemporary political figures and their influence on American culture.
The segment follows a series of political skits by the long-running NBC variety show, which often uses satire to reflect on national concerns and public figures’ responses to ongoing issues such as inflation and voter sentiment.
As with previous portrayals, the sketch prompted a wide range of reactions online, with viewers commenting on both the comedic execution and the pointed critiques embedded in the show’s satire.
