Saturday Night Live poked fun at Trump’s midterm elections during the cold opening of the show

“According to a company-wide email we received this morning, he’s dead to us,” Bowen Yang’s “Brian Kilmeade” declares after his endorsed candidates bombed in the midterms.

“Mr. President, we’ve moved on.” “We can’t have you on the show any longer,” Heidi Garner’s Ainsley Earhardt chirpily informed a bemused “Donald Trump” on a “Saturday Night Live” parody of “Fox & Friends.”

“And, according to a company-wide email we received this morning, he’s dead to us,” Bowen Yang’s Brian Kilmeade informed his co-hosts.

The trio mocked “Trump” with the front-page headline of the New York Post: “Trumpty Dumpty.”

Kari Lake, one of Cecily Strong’s candidates, was still in the running (who in the real world was trailing Democrat Katie Hobbs in the tight Arizona gubernatorial race on Saturday night).

But when she realized she was suddenly in the lead, she changed her tune: “Which is why I have always said, this is a democracy.” Believe in the system. “Trust the voters.”

She stated that she would wait “until every vote is counted and then some votes are taken away.”

If it didn’t work out, “Lake” threatened to “burn Arizona to the ground.”
