Commentary: In its return after two weeks, “Saturday Night Live” keeps its humor political by skewering the president, his tweets, his sons and his attorney general.
And here we go again.
It was another Saturday night.
Which, for “Saturday Night Live,” meant another chance to giggle and splutter at the government and all who sail in it.
After President Donald Trump emitted tweets accusing, without evidence, former President Barack Obama of wiretapping his phones, SNL went to work.
‘This Saturday morning, while his nurse was at Temple, grandpa shuffled out of his room and got into his Twitter again,” began Michael Che on the show’s Weekend Update .
“Dude, you’re the president of the United States and you’re seeking legal advice on Twitter? ” Che asked.
He concluded that Trump was like the “crazy dude on the subway yelling, ‘they’re tapping my phone, Schwarzenegger sucks, I can lick my own elbow!'”
The segment also tweaked Vice President Mike Pence who, it was revealed this week, used a private AOL account for government business — and it was hacked .
