‘SNL’ Trump Declares Himself Better Than ‘Nepo Baby’ Jesus
Less than 30 minutes before Easter arrived on the East Coast, Saturday Night Live’s Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) opened the episode by interrupting The Last Supper to take a page out of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s playbook—and, okay, his own—by listing the many ways he and Jesus Christ could practically be twins.
“A famous, wonderful man arrested for no reason at all,” he said. “If you haven’t put it together folks, I’m comparing myself to Jesus—again. And what better time than on his birthday, Easter?”
Of course, Johnson’s Trump made it clear that he has it much harder than Jesus ever did—crucifixion be damned. But he certainly understands why “many people” (read: Marjorie Taylor Greene) are pointing out the similarities between Trump and Jesus Christ. The former president has his own ideas, though. “We’re both very tall, very popular, and both, frankly, white Americans,” he explained. “Trump” also isn’t afraid to admit that there are some stark differences between him and The Almighty.
