SNL Cold Open Roasts Trump Hawking His $60 MAGA Bibles

Saturday Night Live started things off this Easter weekend by taking a shot at Trump for comparing himself to Jesus Christ (again) and for hawking his ridiculous "God Bless The USA Bibles" on Truth Social.

“That’s right, it’s Easter. The time of year when I compare myself to Jesus Christ,” Johnson as Trump said. “That’s just the thing I do now, and people seem to be OK with it. I’m going to keep doing it. If you think that this is a bad look, imagine how weird it would be if I started selling Bibles. Well, I’m selling Bibles.”

“Sounds like a joke, and in many ways it is, but it’s also very real. As you know, I love Bible. It’s my favorite look.” [...]

The SNL sketch opened with what looked like a reenactment of the Resurrection, with the three women who had come to anoint Jesus’s body instead witnessing Trump emerging from the tomb.

“Alright girls, you can go,” Johnson’s Trump said, shooing them away. “Bye bye.”

The show then riffed on Trump’s lack of knowledge of the Bible. He said, “Definitely read it. My favorite part is probably the ending, how it all it wraps up.”

He then went on to reveal the “high high price of $60.”

“But I am not doing this for the money,” Trump said. “I’m doing this for the glory of God and for pandering and mostly for money.”
