Trump Talks Chicago Pope as Jeanine Pirro Guzzles Wine
President Trump made a surprise appearance during the annual SNL “Mother’s Day Message” sketch, interrupting the usual festivities to talk about current events. The show started off in typical fashion, with cast members bringing their real mothers on stage for a comedic bit. However, the sketch was quickly derailed when James Austin Johnson’s Trump character crashed the scene, declaring that he is “invading all aspects of your life.”
During his impromptu appearance, Trump joked about the new pope being from Chicago, making a reference to “Da Prayers” in a nod to a classic “Saturday Night Live” sketch. He also mentioned the recent trade issues facing America, humorously questioning whether a country can go out of business.
Former cast member Cecily Strong made a guest appearance as Jeanine Pirro, whom Trump had appointed as Interim U.S. Attorney in Washington. Pirro jokingly expressed her pride in joining a group of individuals known for various controversial traits, including being Russian assets and boozehounds.
Colin Jost also joined in on the fun, portraying secretary of defense Pete Hegseth. In a comedic moment, Hegseth allowed Pirro to spit booze into his mouth, breaking his promise to never have a bottle touch his lips.
The cold open segment ended with a humorous exchange between the characters, showcasing the satirical take on current political and social issues. The entire sketch was captured in a video that can be viewed below.
Overall, the SNL sketch provided a lighthearted and entertaining take on the current state of affairs, blending humor with social commentary in a manner characteristic of the long-running show.
