‘SNL’ Weekend Update Trashes Trump’s Made-up Peace Prize, M.R.I. Delay

FIFA’s award, which was reportedly created for Trump after he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, was “equally prestigious,” Colin Jost says sarcastically
Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update trashed the peace prize that the president of FIFA “invented” and and bestowed on Donald Trump this week.
The award, Gianni Infantino claimed Friday during the World Cup group draw ceremony, was for Trump’s “exceptional and extraordinary actions to promote peace and unity around the world.” The award was hastily created after Trump didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize in October, according to a report.
“Trump has not yet won the Nobel Peace Prize, but he did win the equally prestigious soccer peace prize,” co-anchor Colin Jost said sarcastically.
“FIFA actually invented a fake peace prize in Trump’s honor, and that’s why the trophy shows Trump’s gnarled hands dragging Earth into hell,” Jost said alongside an image of the golden award, which Trump received with a medal and a certificate.
Later, Jost addressed Trump’s M.R.I. that he received two months ago—a test which the White House only recently claimed was just preventative in nature.
“Trump said he will soon release the results of his M.R.I. test from October. He just needs a little more time to write ‘of genius’ after the word ‘stroke,’” Jost joked.
Also in the segment, Michael Che commented on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who has overseen harsh immigration policies, celebrating her 54th birthday at a Mexican restaurant and at one point wearing a sombrero.
The former South Dakota governor, Che joked, “enjoyed her favorite food: line cook spit.”
