Weekend Update host Colin Jost didn’t hold back as he ripped off former President Donald Trump for his visit to the disaster-stricken community of East Palestine, Ohio last week (You can watch a clip from the segment below).
Trump, who touted the quality of his water bottle brand during the visit, stopped by the community hit by a spill of toxic chemicals – and later a chemical burn – from a train derailment in Norfolk Southern earlier this month.
Jost, who also took a swipe at President Joe Biden’s response to the disaster, mocked the former president — and Rudy Giuliani — on the Saturday Night Live segment.
“Donald Trump visited East Palestine, the site of the recent train derailment, because Trump usually tries to make himself look better by standing next to a train wreck,” Jost quipped when a photo of Giuliani popped up next to him.
“The train that derailed was carrying highly toxic vinyl chloride, which I believe was recommended by Trump as a cure for COVID.”
He later poked fun at the former president for distributing his water to residents and noted the Trump administration’s rollback of railroad safety regulations.
“What’s next, is he going to visit all the migrant kids he’s locked in cages and give them a Dave & Buster gift card?” Jost asked before the “SNL” audience groaned.
