The SNL Parody That Captured the Tariffs Chaos
Last night’s Saturday Night Live had tariffs on the brain.
Multiple sketches tackled the same topic that has preoccupied much of the country this week: the economic instability brought on by President Donald Trump’s imposition of sweeping global tariffs (which he then paused on countries that aren’t China for 90 days). SNL explored the subject in several different ways; some were more genuinely amusing than others, but all captured the anxiety many Americans are feeling, across class lines.
