Donald Trump is ripped apart in SNL skit after comparing himself to Jesus Christ – as Ramy Youssef prays for Palestine during monologue

SNL last night took a swipe at the presumptive Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump, by mocking the release of “Trump Bibles” ahead of Easter Sunday.

The skit came just minutes before host Ramy Youssef offered a prayer for the Palestinian people during his monologue.

The show’s cold open was a resurrection-themed Trump roast, in which the show’s current impersonator, James Austin Johnson, burst through the wall of a cave and began selling his wares.

One of the three women who opened the sketch asked, “Is it Jesus?” while the cave wall rumbles.

“In principle, yes,” Johnson said as Trump emerged from the smoke before sending the women away.

In the funny sketch, Johnson then elaborated on a number of jokes, ranging from Trump’s supposedly minimal knowledge of the contents of the Bible, to the way the former and possibly future president inserted himself into several iconic stories from the Holy Book.

He went on to say that people seem to enjoy comparing him to Trump, and that’s not something he wants to put an end to.

He continued, “If you think this is a bad look, just imagine how weird it would be if I started selling Bibles.

“Well, I sell Bibles,” he said, showing the camera what looked like it might be authentic Trump ‘God Bless the USA’ Biblewhich is currently on sale for $59.99.

In real life, the former president posted on Truth Social last week: “Happy Holy Week! Let’s get America praying again. As we move into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to purchase a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible.”

Moments later, comedian and actor Ramy Youssef, who hosted the late night sketch show for the first time, gave a monologue about his faith – Youssef is a practicing Muslim – and stand-up career.

He told an anecdote about being in the state for an appearance and noticing some Trump campaign signs in the courtyard, which he said made him reluctant to speak to his mother in Arabic when she called him while he was in public.

“Mother, peace be upon you and the prophet you know. You know which prophet. The best. The last one,” he said.

He then said that Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign called for him to run for the current president in Michigan, which has a large Arab-American community.

“Tell the Arabs to vote for Joe and you can change the course of American history,” he told him on the campaign trail.

The incumbent president, who faces a difficult re-election cycle, hopes to win the support of the important Arab community in the vital swing state of Michigan. But anger at the current president over continued US support for Israel in its war against Hamas is currently overwhelming the group.

This time, however, Youssef said he only has prayers to offer.

He then delved into the politics of the war currently raging in the Middle East.

He emphasized his prayers for the Palestinian people who are currently suffering, for the hostages and for his friend’s dog.

“Please free the people of Palestine, please. And please free the hostages. All hostages. Please.

“And while you’re at it, release Mr. Bojangles. I mean, he’s a beautiful dog,” he concluded.
