The every-award-winning play and filmmaker made a visitor look for the ‘SNL’ chilly open, however simply 30 seconds into his bit, he will get lower off by Trump — performed by James Austin Johnson. Lin-Manuel sings, “In America we’ll by no means have a king,” completely teeing up Trump’s line … “By no means say by no means. I am in my king period.” ‘SNL’s Trump says he is constructing a brand new America identical to the founding fathers did — “very whitely,” and touts the demise of DEI (variety, fairness and inclusion) initiatives.
