Weekend Update: Trump Causes Tariff Confusion, Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship Explodes - SNL

It's Weekend Update with Colin Jost and Michael Che. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Good evening everyone. Welcome to Weekend Update I'm Michael Che. I'm Colin Jost.

Well, tomorrow marks the start of daylight savings time when we set our clocks ahead. Ideally four years. After.

After President Trump spent last week defending our historical best friend, Russia. Trump returned this week to attacking our sworn enemy. Canada.

That's right. Those sirup guzzling, poutine munching, moose humping hockey sluts have taken advantage of us far too long. Even right here at SNL, American sketch comedy jobs are being stolen by filthy Canadians.

President Trump addressed a joint session of Congress and claimed that no president has changed government faster than him. Yeah. And nobody changed airport security faster than bin laden.

President Trump also said that he signed an executive order to ban men from playing in women's sports. But if men aren't allowed to play women's sports, explain soccer. A lot of soccer fans at the Gaga show.

Okay. Education Secretary and WWE co-founder Linda McMahon, who is the one on the right O, said that closing the Department of Education would not hurt students. And actually, test scores might go up, maybe even as high as 69.

After imposing tariffs on Mexico and Canada. On Tuesday, President Trump reversed them on Thursday. It's a cunning political tactic experts call bipolar disorder.

President Trump said the tariff on goods from Canada is to stop the flow of fentanyl, even though last year only 40 pounds of the drug was seized at the northern border. 40 pounds? What's that like?

Two buttholes? It's like two bucks. - I thought it was smart.

- Thank you. Experts say that President Trump's tariffs will raise the cost of a new car by as much as $12,000. Or you can get a free Tesla.

Since people are throwing them away. Speaking of which, Tesla CEO and white Kanye Elon Musk. - War.

- War. War. A suit instead of a jacket and t shirt to this week's cabinet meeting after President Trump made fun of his clothing.

It's a refreshing reminder that bullying still works. On Thursday, Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship exploded just minutes into its mission, which is how he ended up with all those kids. It was it was it was reported that the leaders of Great Britain and France have been coaching Volodymyr Zelensky on how to deal with President Trump.

Kind of like how you need extra training to be a special ed teacher. And this is exciting. Donald Trump Jr is reportedly considering a run for president in 2028.

Yeah. Yeah. And if you don't think he could win, you clearly aren't familiar with how things work here in hell.
