Saturday Night Live forged members sarcastically praised Donald Trump’s victory and debuted a brand new model of the previous president — “hot, jacked Trump” — to keep away from being placed on his “enemies list” within the first post-election episode.

In the chilly open, SNL forged members held their fingers clasped, showing to be on the verge of delivering a somber message to the viewers about Trump’s election victory — however as an alternative they delivered a message to the president-elect himself: “We have been with you all along.”

The forged claimed to have been Trump supporters all alongside, enjoying into his election fraud claims, appearing dissatisfied there was no second Capitol riot, and blaming the “lamestream media, Michael Che” for spinning his phrases.

“If you’re keeping some sort of list of your enemies, then…” Kenan Thompson started earlier than Marcello Hernández minimize in: “We should not be on it.”

Heidi Gardner went as far as to say she “voted for [Trump] 50 times in Pennsylvania” whereas Ego Nwodim stated: “92 per cent of Black women voted for Kamala, but I was one of the proud eight per cent.” The forged even promised to introduce a brand new impression of the previous president: “hot, jacked Trump.”

That’s when James Austin Johnson, the forged’s star Trump impersonator, walked on with vein-popping, cumbersome arms and a purple tie wrapped round his brow. “That’s right, it’s me, hot, jacked Trump. They finally got the body right,” he stated in Trumpian cadence whereas flexing his biceps.

He stated: “From now on, we’re going to do a very flattering portrayal of Trump because he’s frankly, my hero, and he’s going to make an incredible president and eventually king!”

The forged then in fact referred to Trump’s new right-hand man: Elon Musk.

Thompson stated: “If our planet falls apart, we can all go to Mars with the other man that we love and trust: Elon Musk.” Dana Carvey popped onto the stage, leaping up and down along with his fingers within the air, channeling Musk’s enthusiasm from Trump’s second Butler rally.

While carrying a black MAGA cap, he spoke in a jumbled voice: “But seriously, I run the country now.”

As Carvey bounced off the stage chanting “USA! USA!”, the forged then spoke on to younger males.

“To all the young men who helped elect Trump and Elon, we know you’ve felt unseen these past four years,” Hernández stated.

Bowen Yang then added: “So we say to you: Young men, there’s no need to feel down.”

Thompson then stated: “Young men, pick yourself off the ground.”

Then Nwodim chimed in with “Young men, time to put on your crown” earlier than the entire forged began singing the Village People’s “YMCA,” Donald Trump’s rally anthem.
