Trump Courthouse Cold Open - SNL 

Yeah, it's basically gone...

It’s definitely gone

Wait, this isn't his actual speech?

I heard the Onion is closing down

Yep. Get more truth from satire, tho.

Pretty frigg'n scarey !! 😮

It's a lot more lucid than Trump's speeches

That's Trump's apparent mindset: he's going to criminal trial and prison, election and victory, or election and another set of false claims that he won and insurrection, again trying to overturn the Constitution and a legitimate American government.

Too coherent

I would still vote for him over sleepy Joe

The left is so dumb they take this as real because his impersonation voice is good? Nothing that was said was real, all was twisted and fake lol. You believe SNL, jimmy kimmel, elen. Anything media you believe

This is how you get your political info? yikes

Ah yes. A satirical show. Yes. You nailed it! Source all my info from silly show. Bing bong.

@@timscott84 You really do though lol. They are planting little seeds in your head. by the time you watch abc news, jimmy kimmel, and snl. The seeds grow into brainwash

@@tropicalterrarium1742have you ever actually listened to Trump speak on live TV? Did you not listen to him speak at the border a week ago or even during covid? He is more incoherent than Biden, and that’s saying something

What would be funny is doing a Biden one ! He could barely talk and fall asleep while sniffing kids !

How great is Trump though? Dude is a legend

"Where's Lacey" 🤣😂

@bookgirlny8511 “Barron is good with the cyber”

😂

Yes, he is apparently in the top 99 for people with dementia. Who had thought? 😂

_"I think, cognitively I'm better than I was 20 years ago. I don't know why."_ Still able to lie, of course. That'll be the last to go.

That's because he knows nuclear better than anyone.

He'll be right there when Donald needs to wipe.

I still don't get that joke. I mean beyond the original joke that VR was! He was like everything you hate about Trump with less charisma.

@@bitbugsbyte Vivica A. Fox is the name of an American actress and Vivek Ramaswamy is small in stature, like the mouse in the animated film _Ratatouille._

I think Vik "agreed" probably begged, to live up tRump's FAT BUTT .

RIGHT? "Where's Lacey Chabert?" caught me so off-guard🤣😂

Lol that light voice, and that head tilt - he did that SPOT ON!@@heathernks8

Need more orange and ding ding.

he's barely doing election!

omigod me too

Exactly! But also it wasn't funny

Cringe

​@@kael7953 yes the orange loser is VERY cringe

This is the funniest cold open since the actors strike ended.

No, too much energy. And the writers are going easy on him.

Even the weird mocking tone of voice, talking about random things

The glances. The quick glances 🤌

I thought it was way too coherent and he pronounced too many words correctly

His GREAT! LOVE IT!

Maybe you just don't speak English, you speak Bidenese.😂

Sir, he just spoke English. Literally more coherently than our ex-president. If your only comeback was that infantile, I no longer wonder how Trump lost 2020. It doesn't take a lot to outsmart an animal, it's just annoying to do so every time they open their mouth.

So does Biden in his own way. Tell us WE'RE DOOMED. Where's a young visionary who isn't crazy when you need them?

It's very lame to be anti Trump. You're such sad, sad people.

@@Plasstyre you’re boring

👁👄👁

The thrunt?

Neckgina.

​@@istdochallesegal3427 Medical science calls that a Vagineck.😎✌️

@@silverstem2964 A very nice touch, I wonder why he didn't have orange makeup though? Maybe he wouldn't have time to take it off before the next sketch? Weird seeing him un-orange tho

It's just like when Tina Fey did Sarah Palin. Just repeating what Palin said was comedy gold.

TRUMP 2024🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲!!! Get WREK'D!!!

@@dennisharrell2236to this day I still watch that it’s so real and funny

Because snl isn’t comedy. Its a political show where dems laugh at things because they think they’re supposed too

Oh he'll wreck the country alright@@jasminehouston-burns1691

So great that Nikki did this bit with SNL! - Legendary!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just like January 6th

He even got the breathing figured out...I miss Baldwin, but this is better .. maybe more makeup :)

😂😂😂😂😂I needed that. Bravo! We need someone to replace Baldwin, now that he will be in court, or possibly jail.

Agreed. His impression is spot on. This is a very studied impression.

They forgot the hand syphilis 😮‍💨🙄🙃🤓😩🤣🤣🥳

Close your eyes and it's Trump, I swear to God.

#rfkjr2024 END this trump/biden circus!! End the 2 party control.

Just shows you how incredibly hard it is to maintain such a ridiculous hairstyle

@@AD-cy7wx Good idea, hand over the country to a senile dictator by voting for some useless third party set up by the Republicans.

​@AD-cy7wx I, too, wish that we had different candidates to choose from, but RFK is definitely not the solution. That would only be "CIRCUS - Part 2" the sequel.

@@AD-cy7wxYeah yeah, not the time or place. Comments under comedy skit.

Or 'neck bollocks' as we call them here in the UK. 😳

Yeah.....now that you mention it....total hilarity!!!!

I thought I was the only one who noticed that 😂

Thrunt

Yeah but they forgot the orange bronzer, fat suit, and that his hair is supposed to be even more chaotic.

#rfkjr2024 END this trump/biden circus!! End the 2 party control.

@@AD-cy7wx will you just shut up, man?

Nah, too coherent. It needed more rambling. LOL

There's something almost uncanny valley about his Trump impression 😅

@@AD-cy7wx😂😂😂😅

Yeah if you pay attention the nuance in his impression is incredible

My favorite parts! A lot of people who do the impression always skip the soft voice parts

those are the most accurate things and hardly anybody does that part.

Yes the mean girls part had me 😂😂😂😂😂

… where’s Lacey?

Even got the neckgina. But could use more abdominal padding.

If he added some (lots) of sniffing, it would be spot on.

So Happy He Is On SNL!

It is a great impression… it’s hard because Dirty Donald is more incoherent and contradicts himself more

He needs to add some smudged fake tan.

He's great, but Shane Gillis has the best impression imo

@@charleyking8931In terms of SNL political impressions his Trump def takes the cake. Nobody will ever forget this version.

I dont think anything tops Alec Baldwin.

LOVED Baldwins Trump@@davidtrottier7066

@@davidtrottier7066 I didn't think Baldwin's was good at all. He got his "soft" voice ok but it felt very fake to me and sort of pushing his own dislike of Trump into it rather than accurate mannerisms. JAJ and Gillis are the best.

If you think this was actually, then you are the problem.

true

@@user-qp6hh3lt7e I have been watching Trump's temper tantrums in court room lobbies. This bit was not angry enough or full of vitriol. This actor makes Trump look cute and funny. When in reality Trump is just out of his mind insane as well as angry as an old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn. He's _always_ moody now, whenever he says anything. It looks like the 12 year old is growing up and entering his Emo phase. So the OP has a good point, but it's because the real Trump is soooo much worse than this, and not funny at all. He's disturbing, perverted, and dangerous. Some of this act is funny.... the rest of it is ironically not nearly off-the-wall enough. It's like they purposely toned it down, rather than up. You can't even parody Trump anymore, as he is a parody of himself. And yet he feels no shame and neither do his supporters, so the ones that are laughing just kind of give up after a while. It becomes unfunny fast.

@@user-qp6hh3lt7e cope sweetie. You're in a cult.

Great Comedy often has a bit of truth in it.

better then the other option

No, what's painfully alarming is a President with dementia who shakes hands with people who aren't there. And a Veep, who does nothing but cackle and spew out word salads.

Sorry-what exactly is the purge? Can someone explain?

@@maildeliverysubsystemmaile9178 it's a movie where all crimes are legal for 24 hours.

@@maildeliverysubsystemmaile9178basically have 1 day a yr where we all get to kill one another without consequences. It’s a movie….and literally happened in Ecuador a few weeks ago.

Alex Baldwin was way better, so is Jamie fox and Shane gills. This is just an alright Trump impersonation, but when you have low standards, anything close will do

True in that

@@exloadedagreed. Alec was THEEE BEST.

Trump doesn't ramble. Trump doesn't read from a teleprompter like Biden the dementia patient or Obama the fist gay president.

I don't think I could tell the difference reading a transcript of between a SNL skit of Trump and the actual Trump

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😂😅

😂😂😂😂

Isn't that racist?

@@philliesphan312Why would it be racist

@@philliesphan312there is more than enough credible information available to help with comprehension of racism, especially in america, for free. Stop guessing at it and actually bother to learn. Guessing when info is accessible is a commitment to ignorance

This was amazing. The only thing is, he needed more of the terrible orange makeup. The voice was uncanny.

It’s a mediocre impression. Shane Gillis is the best Trump since Darrell Hammond.

EXACTLY---

@@jon4715 Comedy and the other arts are very subjective as to who it appeals to. Everyone has a different sense of humor. It's not "mediocre" just because you don't like it. You don't have to like it. Most people here do. This guy is obviously a highly skilled performer who makes a lot of people laugh, and just because you don't like it doesn't mean he lacks talent. Reading through the comments shows you to be in a tiny minority who don't get it.

I thought he was great. And I came to comment specifically on his neck vagina.

He's losing his touch. He was more spot-on in other skits and those actually had some well-written funny moments, unlike this one.

​@@riproar11 I think you might be confusing this actor with Alec Baldwin

Fine impression but terrible delivery. None of the jokes landed.

@@therealmrthc8572 No, this is James Austin Johnson. The main problem is that this skit lacks any energy, drama, or any funny lines that delivered. In his other skits he really had Trumps voice, intonation and movements down with well-written comedy.

He forgot to wear the Orange hair

But its still snl and it's never funny. Impression is perfect,now get people who can write actual comedy...

@JohnSherman3 glad to know someone else got the same take away as I did basically

Short on substance means that you must do a lot of repeating.

@@JohnSherman3 Yes!! I think it is supposed to make us uncomfortable and to think about the real ramifications of a dictator that is dumb weak and narcissistic... We would all be screwed. Dictator is bad enough but a dumb and weak one will just get us all killed.... Sad part is I don't think it even reaches his base and the people that really need the wake up!!! His bloody hand this week was from a nose bleed!!! I FB EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS PROJECTION THEN WHEN HE SAYS BIDEN HAS TO DO STIMULANTS TO DO SPEECHES THEN THAT MEANS..... YEP DONNIES DOING COKE AND ADDERALL WHICH WOUD EXPLAIN ALL THE DUMB MESS UPS AND CLEANING HIS FACE BUT FORGETTING SOME BLOOD GOT ON HIS HANDS..... ITS NOT COGNITIVE DECLINE ITS MORE LIKE HE IS NOW THE FRIED EGG FROM THE DONT DO DRUGS COMMERCIAL

One of the Sarah Palin skits was just Sarah's own words...verbatim.

@@JohnSherman3 the unnerving part is that it's almost impossible to tell whether any of this was stuff he actually said without googling it. because it's entirely believable that he would literally tell his supporters "stay alive until november and then drop dead for all i care, because i'm sent by god or whatever" and they would still vote for him. but these are also the same people who get a pop-up ad on facebook screaming "YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN HACKING VIRUS FRAUD OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, CALL TO UNLOCKING PC WITH $8000 OR POLICE WILL BE NOTIFICED" and immediately give some fuckhead in calcutta their life's savings.

You have quoted a line from the skit.

I wish, I can say the same thing, but this guy on SNL is lousy.

I agree, the tone and inflection is insane. Makeup department has to make him wayyyy more orange though.

no

Look like a deformed Trump

Except he says words like particularly without stumbling over it. The orange man who admits that 'yesterday' is a hard word, would say something closer to party cool orally.

That guy has the 🍊💩down cold. He’s actually giving him too much credit -COGNITIVE. Too much COGNITIVE. Bigly.

I know. What if Trump won in 24 and we stopped bombing the world? I don't know about you, but I'm not ready for the US to be held accountable. War is peace and inflation is a good economy. Child Sniffer '24!!!!!!

Agreed because it is not far off from real life. Usually a parody stretches reality but this is not far from what we see from the real person.

Terrifying? Trump is entertaining. Terrifying is the reality of Biden’s reign

Keep drinking at that koolaid well, you must be the brains of the operation...

@@kilikdudley I love how not a single person heeds anything you have to say... it's foreshadowing for what's coming this year 😘

you try standing normally when your diaper is full.

I feel you in that sweetheart

It just trump fatigue, it's not JAJ's fault

I guess it’s true, you can’t fix stupid.

What?!?! This is sub-par. You should watch the impersonator that Trump himself brought to one of his clubs lol. This is definitely hilarious. I am cracking up. And I am a huge Trump supporter. But yall HAVE TO watch the guy that Trump brought to his club!

@@kassygendron3022 I watched it, that guy was amazing! But I honestly find James' impression more entertaining

@@nathanpillay3412 I totally can understand your view. He did a FANTASTIC job. It is HILARIOUS! I genuinely enjoyed both

Sadly this wasn't funny I wish it was but I couldn't Laugh because it's sad I mean. I wish there was more comical like in the eighties in early nineties

And can still win even if he doesn't get the popular vote. The undemocratic and rigged electoral college always sees more Republicans get to become President than Democrats.

Wow, so sorry you have to THINK to laugh

That's not the line.

Trump only won 98 of 99 counties. Nikki Haley won the other. 😮

99 counties and Bitch didn't win one. He was doing a take off from JayZ song, got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one.

@@Igaveyoumyfakename If you havin line problems I feel bad for you son!

😂😂😂😂

Was the hair pin intentional?

relax

lol i was wondering what was going on

it's a paper clip lol

It's just the horrible SNL crew with the diversity hires doing terrible jobs!!!!!!

Great, you reminded me this "It feels like I'm wearing nothing at all."

'Darling Nikki' and 'Purple Rain' are both Prince songs. He was referring to Nikki Haley with 'Darling Nikki' and then rambled (as Trump RAMBLES A LOT) onto another Prince song.

More than a little frightening. Jail, president, or the purge. If he loses and has to actually face trial, it's hard to imagine him not at least attempting option 3.

Yeah that and him doing the weird arms and referencing smooth criminal got me

his neck-gina is the best. I bet that bugs Trump a lot, which makes it even better.

and he's right!!

I want a sticker that says that

​@@bingbongboomboomHe's not, sorry to break it to you.

@@bingbongboomboom He couldn't be more wrong. You're doing worse with "cognitive" than the big orange turd.

I made the same comment without reading yours lol.

Vivica A. Fox was combined with Vivek Ramaswamy. (She's the actress with Ice T doing the Car Warranty commercials) - Trump confuses pop culture references.

Actually, I think the writer's job is ten times harder in these times when the comedy "writes itself".

Then why is this so aggressively unfunny?

@@starangwonder2594 Because right wingers don’t do comedy

@@starangwonder2594 Trump, Don Jr., Eric, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Kari Lake, George Santos, Jim Jordan Mike Lindell etc. These are the faces of the MAGA movement. MAGA REPUBLICANS and the Trump crime syndicate are the LAUGHING STOCK of the planet 😂

@@starangwonder2594Trump is a senile dementia patient

That was awesome. How he mentions her, then gets kind of reflective, and his pitch gets higher. I've seen Trump do that a bunch when he's just riffing.

He's been impersonating Trumpty for years. You need to watch last 6 years.

He doesn't sound like him though

@@StevenTwoTwo i've only heard one, maybe two people who sound more like trump than JAJ. he's extremely accurate, and definitely more accurate than alec baldwin or any of the late night hosts.

@@dietotaku He doesn't have the tone right though. Like I say, the mannerisms are there and his phrasing and timing are good, but he doesn't get the tone even close in my opinion.

How is he not your top??? who is better?

Then you don't know Trump. Roflmao.

His is flawless, no notes.

He sounds so much like him, it makes it hard to enjoy. Lol

Thankyou for his name. He IS excellent. I could close my eyes and think I was listening to the tRump.

Thrunt

Why isn't Alec Baldwin playing Trump anymore?

TLDR

@@danvaccariello439because he was charged with involuntary manslaughter this week

@@JoannC830 Interesting.

@@danvaccariello439 Alec Baldwin was funny playing Donald Trump, but this guy does a lot better job actually sounding and impersonating him. I’m sure Alec Baldwin is more worried about all his legal issues right now instead of playing Donald Trump on SNL.

Way too coherent?? Have you seen/heard your president? Liberalism = Retardation!!

Please elaborate... I can produce videos of Biden being incoherent... tons of them. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Aa8Kotg3dyY.html

@21972012145525 - And Mr Johnson enunciates too well. We can understand every word. He needs to slur and verbally stumble now and then. As Randy Rainbow said, "he speaks in tongues when his dentures start slippin'g" (see "Cheeto Christ Superstar" ) And he needs moe padding.

More incoherent than Biden? I doubt that

TRUMP 2024!!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
