Since 1975 Saturday Night Live, "Saturday Night" in the earlier of the 43 seasons, has made an impressive and humorous impact of the lives of all who watch it. Their bits ranging from drama to comedy have long drawn large audiences. In recent years there has been one drastic outlier in this force, politics. SNL's ingenious takes on the political state of the US is absolutely ingenious. SNL, being blatantly democratic, has currently focused their hell-fire down upon our current president. Since the first debates for president in 2016, Trump has been brilliantly portrayed by the actor Alec Baldwin.
The jokes and bits they have created have been immensely popular and with the addition of the current players in the white house it is bound to become even better. Kate McKinnons glorious impression of both Hillary Clinton during the election debates and Jeff Sessions have been both humorous and a little insulting. I am quite surprised that Trump has not already shut down SNL, let alone NBC, seeing as they have made a complete mockery of his staff using wit and humor to make jokes of the current situations in government. I however look forward to the political sketches SNL creates seeing as they are always funny and never fail to remind me how likely it is that the Trump administration will be sent to prison.
