In its cold open, Saturday Night Live skewered President Donald Trump over his surprise attack on Iran.
The latest episode opened with Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, appearing at a press conference to address the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, which began during the early morning hours on Saturday.
“I launched this attack after me and my Board of Peace decided we were bored of peace,” Johnson’s Trump told the audience, referencing the committee of world leaders established by the president last month.
“As we all know, Iran has been two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon for like the last 15 years or something, so we had to act now,” Johnson’s Trump continued, adding, “War, what is it good for? Distracting from the Epstein files!”
