‘Dementia Dome’: Trump got roasted on SNL again, and the audience laughed so hard, you’d think they’d forgotten his ‘tremendous success’
Saturday Night Live has never shied away from making jokes about political matters. With Donald Trump as the President of the United States, the show has had a seemingly endless supply of material to satirise in recent months.
With the continuous developments at the White House, Saturday Night Live has been heavily focused on US politics, particularly Trump’s bizarre and unbelievable antics. While most of SNL’s criticisms of Donald Trump have been coming through skits, some have been more direct. For instance, a video from the show featuring Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che is currently going viral on social media. In the video, Jost and Che are humorously trolling President Donald Trump while reporting on the latest updates from the White House. They cover a wide range of topics, from the end of the government shutdown to the release of Epstein emails that reveal shocking information about Trump, to the reintroduction of SNAP benefits, and Trump’s recent appearance at a Washington Commanders game (where he got severely booed). A notable moment, however, from the segment is when Jost jokes about Trump’s suggestion to the Washington Commanders to name their new stadium after him, saying:
“So, say hello to the Dementia Dome.”
For those who have been keeping a close watch on Donald Trump during his second term as President of the United States, the reference will be clear, unless they are MAGA supporters, who are often blind to their leader’s shortcomings. For those who aren’t aware, in the past couple of months, Donald Trump has been doing and saying a lot of things publicly, which have led many to believe that he suffers from cognitive impairment. On multiple occasions, he has boasted about taking cognitive tests and acing them, but recently, he described one of the tests he took, and people have pointed out that it resembles the test taken by individuals to detect dementia, prompting many to believe that Trump has been diagnosed with the same.
