‘SNL’ Weekend Update Uses Trump’s Own Words Against Him on Iran War
Colin Jost reminds the world that Trump once said Barack Obama would start a war against the country due to a failure to negotiate
Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update bashed Trump’s efforts at regime change in Iran by reminding everyone what he said about Barack Obama 16 years ago.
“You guys, I’m starting to worry that President Trump might not win that peace prize,” Colin Jost began, as Trump has been angling for the Nobel Peace Prize and trying to sell all the wars he has supposedly ended.
“This attack might be a bad idea. I don’t know. I’m not really an expert on Iran. So let’s hear from someone who can explain why we might have done it,” Jost continued, playing a 2011 clip of Trump criticizing then-President Barack Obama: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate,” Trump says while sitting behind his desk at Trump Tower. “He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”
Jost nodded along. “See? Now that’s the Trump I voted for.”
