SNL’s Colin Jost skewers Trump with a sly jab after RFK Jr.’s bizarre declaration of an ‘end to the war on protein’

Looks like the pedophile jokes surrounding Donald Trump are here to stay, and honestly, I am not complaining. Maybe that will prompt him and the other corrupt members of the Republican Party to finally release the complete Jeffrey Epstein Files. And, if nothing else, maybe it will invoke some sense of shame in them that will, if nothing else, give them at least two sleepless nights. Let’s hope for the best.

In a video that is currently going viral on social media from a recent episode of the late-night live sketch comedy variety show, Saturday Night Live, Colin Jost, who hosts the Weekend Update segment of the show, can be seen cracking a joke about Donald Trump and his fixation with teenage individuals.

While showing a picture of United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Jost remarks that the White House had tweeted a picture of him on its official X (formerly Twitter) page with the caption “We are ending the war on protein.” Jost added his two cents on this piece of information, giving it a funny spin and said, “Good, cause I know a couple of fellows who are extremely pro-teen.” The screen at this point is showing a picture of Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump standing side by side, with Trump’s hand on Epstein’s shoulder and both of them smiling while looking at the camera. I am sure everyone has seen this picture by now, but there is something about Jost’s sudden mockery of their friendship and his pulling up that picture suddenly that came as a shock to many, despite many being aware of its presence before, leading the audience present during the recording break into a laugh. Honestly, it also took me by a bit of a surprise, and I have seen that picture at least a hundred times.

This is not the first time that SNL has reported on the shenanigans of Donald Trump and members of the Republican Party. The show has been doing so for the longest time possible, however the frequency has increased considerably since last year, after Trump became president for a second term in January. That being said, Trump jokes are not just limited to the news segments of SNL but also to others, including sketches. In fact, one of the most popular skits from the show is when James Austin Johnson turns up as Trump, imitating his way of speaking, demeanour, and his pea-brained intellect.
