Since Donald Trump is such a polarizing figure, you will either love or hate this sketch that aired last night on Saturday Night Live. SNL returned after a brief hiatus and went right back to work at taking Trump to task with this parody election ad.
The faux commercial starts out innocently enough by saying, “The media’s been saying some pretty negative things about Donald Trump.” Followed by the opinions of “real Americans” regarding the leading Republican presidential candidate. Then there are quotes that you would generally hear from a Trump supporter, “He’s a winner,” “He’s authentic,” “He literally wrote the book on negotiating,” “He’s an outsider” and “He can make this country great again.” That’s when the real identities of these Trump supporters are revealed.
SNL‘s Taran Killam was revealed to be wearing a Nazi armband, Vanessa Bayer was ironing a KKK uniform, Bobby Moynihan just got done painting “White Power” on the side of a house, Beck Bennett was lighting books about Mexico on the fire by throwing them into his fireplace, Aidy Bryant is shown as a paranoid truther who believes the Earth is flat and hates Muslims, and Kyle Mooney was gathering wood for a Ku Klux Klan cross-burning. The fake ad ends with the words “Racists For Trump.”
This comes a day after Louis CK called Donald Trump an “insane bigot” and compared him to Adolf Hitler.
