Saturday Night Live returns from a short hiatus to find the US newly at war with Iran. From behind the presidential podium, Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) wishes “happy world war three to all who celebrate.” After claiming that “Iran has been two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon [for, like, the last 15 years]”, he weaves into the Temptations’ War: “What is it good for? Distracting from the Epstein files!”
As to why the US should attack now, Trump explains: “We had to strike in the early hours of Saturday, which has two advantages militarily. One, it’s after the stock market closes for the weekend. And two, it’s to cause immeasurable fear, rage and chaos in the SNL writers’ room.”
