SNL Weekend Update Satirizes Trump Over Fake Nobel Peace Prize
Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update didn’t hold back when skewering Donald Trump’s acceptance of a Nobel Peace Prize medal he didn’t actually win. They also took aim at his foreign policy, pointing out its disconnect from his “America First” mantra.
Trump received the medal this week from Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Machado, who is seeking his support to possibly succeed President Nicolas Maduro. Reports suggest Machado hopes Trump’s backing will come after Maduro’s capture by U.S.forces. Trump frequently boasts about ending eight wars, yet he actively lobbied for the Nobel Peace Prize. When that didn’t pan out, he settled for the “FIFA Peace Prize,” thanks to his friend, Gianni Infantino.
