## SNL's Weekend Update Roasts Trump Mercilessly Ahead of Crucial Election
### Comedians Take Aim at the President's Policies and Personal Conduct
As the United States heads into a crucial election, Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update has been relentlessly roasting President Donald Trump. With biting humor and razor-sharp wit, comedians Michael Che and Colin Jost have spared no punches in their attacks on the president's policies, personal conduct, and handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a recent segment, Jost opened with a scathing remark: "With less than two weeks until the election, Donald Trump is still holding rallies where he doesn't wear a mask and tells his supporters that it's just the sniffles. The only thing that's just the sniffles is Trump's chances of winning."
### Trump's COVID-19 Response Mocked
SNL has repeatedly highlighted Trump's dismissive attitude and mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a particularly cutting sketch, Che portrayed an exasperated doctor trying to explain the importance of wearing a mask to a group of Republicans.
"Sir, the mask isn't a political statement," Che said. "It's a simple way to protect yourself and others from getting sick."
To which Jost replied, "Oh, so it's like voting. It's a civic duty?"
### Personal Attacks and Character Assassination
Beyond policy critiques, SNL has also taken aim at Trump's personal conduct. Che and Jost have repeatedly mocked his ego, his divisive rhetoric, and his numerous scandals.
In one segment, Che joked, "Trump is so obsessed with winning that he's even changed his birth certificate to say he was born on the first of November."
Jost added, "And the new birth certificate is a stunning 16 feet long because it includes a complete list of all the women he's complimented at Mar-a-Lago."
### Impact on the Election
It remains to be seen what impact, if any, SNL's relentless roasting of Trump will have on the upcoming election. However, the show's ability to capture the national mood and provide a platform for political satire has undoubtedly become a powerful force in the political discourse.
As the election draws near, it's likely that Che and Jost will continue to offer their biting commentaries on Trump's presidency. And one thing is for sure: they will not be holding back any punches.
