Flashback: 2015 SNL Trump Skit Backfires, Shows Realistic MAGA White House
A 2015 Saturday Night Live comedy skit seeking to mock a would-be Donald Trump presidential administration is going viral online as it turned out to be an accurate prediction of the presidency instead of a sarcastic fantasy.
“In two years, you really made America great again,” an advisor tells the real President Trump. “I’ve got to admit, I didn’t think it could happen this fast. Everyone loves the new laws you tweeted.”
