“Alas, one of you will betray me,” said Mikey Day tonight as Jesus Christ on Saturday Night Live. “It is foretold and though I have committed no crime, I will be arrested, tried and found guilty,” he added.

Coming off the week that saw a former President of the United States arrested on 34 counts and in front of a New York judge in part for paying off a porn star to keep quiet about an affair, it seemed pretty obvious what SNL‘s cold open was going to be tonight.

“Sound familiar?” exclaimed James Austin Johnson, strolling in as the perpetually self-aggrandizing and self-pitying former Celebrity Apprentice host. “A famous, wonderful man arrested for no reason at all,” Johnson’s uncanny Trump continued, picking up on an old trope of the real Trump and the deranged version of the divine tossed out by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene earlier this week. “If you haven’t put it together folks, I’ve compared myself to Jesus, again.”
