President Donald Trump’s inauguration became the subject of a hilarious spoof on this week’s popular satirical show Saturday Night Live (SNL). Being billed as a comedic masterpiece, it referenced Trump's second inauguration and took viewers back to the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The sketch connected historical events with modern political satire, thus, creating a unique and entertaining experience.
One of the highlights of the satire was the surprise appearance of Lin Manuel Miranda, reprising his iconic role as Alexander Hamilton. Miranda's rap about American leadership added a dynamic and engaging element to the scene, reminding viewers of the nation's founding principles.
As Miranda's Hamilton rapped about the absence of kings in America, Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, made a dramatic entrance with the line, "Never say never." This moment captured the essence of Trump's larger-than-life persona and set the stage for the rest of the sketch.
The sketch took on a stand-up comedy style, with Johnson delivering a stream of non-stop jokes about the inauguration and tech moguls. From Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, no one was spared from the comedic jabs. Johnson's witty remarks and impeccable timing kept the audience laughing throughout.
Despite the new presidential administration eliciting fear or exhaustion for many, SNL continues to provide a much-needed outlet for humour.
