Donald Trump Says ‘Yes King March’ Celebrated George Santos
James Austin Johnson’s portrayal of Donald Trump made a surprise appearance on the popular podcast “Snack Homiez” during the episode hosted by Sabrina Carpenter on “Saturday Night Live” on October 18th.
During the podcast, the young male co-hosts, played by Carpenter, Chloe Fineman, Jane Wickline, and Veronika Slowikowska, asked Trump for his thoughts on Airheads candy. True to form, Trump went off on a tangent, mentioning the day’s “No Kings” protests and his recent decision to release George Santos from prison.
Trump expressed his admiration for Santos, calling him “weird” and a “liar,” but also claiming he didn’t know him at all. He described the protests in support of Santos as a “Yes, King!” march, where people were celebrating his release.
Interestingly, Trump did not appear in the show’s usual cold open, which was delayed by 14 minutes due to a college football game running long. Instead, the episode kicked off with a repeat of the popular sketch “Domingo” rather than a political cold open.
The mention of Santos continued during the Weekend Update segment, with Colin Jost joking about Trump finally releasing Santos, a former Republican congressman who pleaded guilty to fraud and “aggravated identity theft.”

Overall, James Austin Johnson’s portrayal of Trump on “SNL” continues to entertain viewers with its comedic take on current events and political figures. The unexpected appearances and witty commentary keep audiences eagerly anticipating each new episode.
