SNL’s Michael Che: Are We ‘Sure It’s OK to Make Fun of’ Trump?
“As impeachment gains momentum, President Trump said he may stop referring to the media as ‘fake news’ and start calling them ‘corrupt news,’” Colin Jost said at the top of “Weekend Update” on this week’s Saturday Night Live. “And the media says they may stop referring to him as ‘President Trump’ and start calling him ‘Former President Trump.’”
Jost and his co-anchor Michael Che proceeded mock Trump and his co-conspirators for the crimes they have allegedly committed, but at a certain point, Che questioned whether the president has started to display a type of behavior that makes it no longer acceptable to make jokes about him.
“Trump hasn't been handling this impeachment news well,” Che said. “I mean, he's been on a Twitter rampage, he's openly called for China to investigate Joe Biden. And it also came out that Trump suggested adding a moat filled with alligators and snakes to his proposed border wall.”
