Michael Che Criticizes Trump’s “Psycho” Peace Prize Attempt on SNL

In a recent episode of “Saturday Night Live,” Michael Che took aim at former President Donald Trump regarding his pursuit of the Nobel Peace Prize. Che’s critique centered on Trump’s acceptance of the award from Venezuelan political figure María Corina Machado, who received the prize in October.

Michael Che’s SNL Critique of Trump’s Peace Prize Attempt

Che questioned the appropriateness of Trump’s actions during the “Weekend Update” segment. He stated, “What kind of psycho would actually accept someone else’s Nobel Peace Prize?” This pointed remark suggested a recklessness in Trump’s willingness to claim the honor, linking it to a bizarre analogy that resonated with the audience.

Machado’s Intentions

Che explained that Machado presented the prize to Trump in order to gain his support for her aspirations to lead Venezuela. He humorously speculated, “And if that bribe actually works, I bet Trump’s about to get a whole bunch of Grammys,” while showcasing a photo of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Combs is currently serving a four-year prison sentence and has publicly sought a presidential pardon.

Audience Reactions

Che’s jab at Diddy elicited mixed reactions from the audience, leading into another contentious joke about Trump’s health. He referred to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s critical remarks on Trump’s diet, quipping, “A slight breeze.” This joke was accompanied by imagery relating to an assassination attempt on Trump during his 2024 campaign.

Colin Jost’s Edgy Humor

Co-anchor Colin Jost followed Che’s lead, making sharp observations about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He highlighted a recent court ruling in Minnesota that barred ICE agents from retaliating against peaceful demonstrators. Jost remarked, “But if ICE agents listen to judges, then their ex-wives would be getting those checks for child support.”

Jost also referenced Trump’s defense of ICE actions in Minneapolis, suggesting ominous undertones as he quoted Trump’s own prediction of a “day of reckoning and retribution.” He humorously connected this phrase to an image of the Grim Reaper, emphasizing Trump’s flair for controversial rhetoric.
