SNL Skewers Trump's Iran War Push by Replaying His Own Words
TL;DR Summary
NBC's Saturday Night Live Weekend Update lampooned Trump's Iran strike push by replaying a 2011 clip in which Trump criticized Obama as weak and ineffective, then quipping about the lack of congressional authorization for the attack; the sketch also notes Netanyahu's position, cites HRANA casualty figures (133 civilians killed, about 200 injured), and ties the Iran move to Trump's Nobel Prize aspirations and his lengthy State of the Union.
