Clearly, the “Saturday Night Live” writing team had a lot of work to do on Saturday, as they opened the show with a sketch about President Trump’s early morning attack on Iran.
In the Feb. 28 cold open, Trump (played by James Austin Johnson) gives a press conference about the military action.
“It’s me, Donald Trump, FIFA Peace Prize winner and Nobel Peace Prize taker,” he began. “Remember that? I launched this attack after me and my board of peace…we were bored of peace. As we all know, Iran has been two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon for like the last 15 years or something. So we had to act now, and we’re doing war.”
Trump soon brought out his secretary of war Pete Hegseth (played by Colin Jost) to speak on the military action.
“They asked for someone to volunteer to receive his half-baked operation, and I didn’t walk — I ran,” Jost-as-Hegseth said. “President Trump called me at two in the morning, and you know, I was awake, sober AF.”
Hegseth then admitted that “I don’t know what I’m doing.”

Saturday Night Live has got so bad it has to cater to the stupid ones.
The left are in the fog of nowhere land trying anything to get out of it.
I’m pretty sure the last time I watched SNL Fran Tarkenton was hosting.
