**New York, NY** – A Saturday Night Live sketch depicted James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump signing a flurry of bizarre executive orders, ranging from the mundane to the outright absurd. Trump, portrayed as exceeding his predecessors in the number of executive orders signed in his first 100 days, tackled issues including interracial couples in advertising, age gaps in relationships, and even the difficulty of the New York Times’ Connections word game.
Among the most eyebrow-raising orders was the “Belichick Law,” which declared it socially acceptable for a 70-year-old to date a 24-year-old, referencing New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick. The sketch also satirized Trump’s views on race, with an order limiting interracial couples in commercials deemed “too many” and another prohibiting Hispanic babies from getting their ears pierced to alleviate wait times for “grown, white American tweens.”
Adding to the surreal nature of the sketch, Trump signed an executive order making the Connections game easier, and another banning ghosts, supposedly inspired by a visit from the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Finally, in a move to address economic concerns, Trump shortened the word “recession” to “recess,” declaring a “historically long recess” for America. The sketch concluded with the signature SNL blend of satire and political commentary.
