SNL Mocks Its Own Anti-Trump Stance With 'Support' His Victory: 'Was With You All The Time'

“Saturday Night Live” expressed its clear opposition to Donald Trump in the first cold open following his election victory this week, with the show's actors acting as if they had supported him all along.

The show began dead serious with cast member Ego Nwodim saying that Trump's victory over Kamala Harris was “shocking and even frightening” for many people. As the cast solemnly noted that there is now no protection for those “brave enough to speak out against him,” the punchline came when cast member Kenan Thompson said, “We at SNL want to tell Donald Trump that we stand with him.” Were together.” You all the time.

“We never wavered in our support for you, even when others doubted you,” said cast member Bowen Yang.

The skit went on to joke that the entire liberal cast voted for Trump and wanted their children to emulate him, and that they would betray anyone on SNL who voted for Harris.

James Austin Johnson, who portrays Trump, showed up in a muscular bodysuit for SNL's new impression of “hot, jacked Trump” and rolled his eyes. Dana Carvey also made a cameo to parody billionaire Elon Musk, who the cast also supported.

“Hail Trump,” Thompson once said.

Comedian Bill Burr hosted Saturday's episode and addressed the election in his monologue, asking the “ladies” to stop wearing pantsuits.

“Ladies, you’re 0-2 against this guy,” Burr said. “Enough with the pantsuits. It doesn't work. Stop having respect for yourself. You don't win the office like the policy dictates, you know? Hooters. Find the happy medium between Applebee's and your father.

Burr continued to mock undecided voters in the race and also suggested that Trump survived his first assassination attempt because of his “weird, jerky movements” on stage.

“The guy is a lunatic,” Burr said of Trump. “I mean, he literally got shot and immediately jumped back up and started screaming, unarmed, in the direction the bullets were coming from. This is not a sensible person. I would have laid on the floor in the fetal position and said, 'Me, Don.' “I don’t want the job! Tell her she won!”

Burr memorably appeared on “Conan” after Trump's inauguration in 2017 and surprised liberal audiences by criticizing Hillary Clinton for screwing up the election.

SNL has done little over the years to hide its disdain for Trump, who hosted the show twice, including during his first presidential run in 2015. Trump quickly fell out of favor on SNL, which he did in plain sight celebrated his defeat in the hands of Joe Biden in 2020.

It also did its best to bolster Harris by giving her a guest appearance on the final show before the election last week. She appeared on Saturday evening as a “mirror image” of herself, portrayed by Maya Rudolph, at the end of the cold open in front of a cheering audience.

Two days later, Trump handily defeated Harris, completing a remarkable political comeback and becoming only the second president ever to win non-consecutive terms.

This time around, the show attempted a few laughs in its cold opening after struggling with a disappointing election result.

SNL mourned Clinton's loss to Trump in 2016, with actress Kate McKinnon as Clinton playing “Hallelujah” on the piano and tearfully telling the audience that she “wouldn't give up, and neither should you.”

The show later parodied liberals who had confidently predicted that a Republican would never win the White House again and were convinced that Clinton would win.
