Following Hollywood actor Tom Hanks\u2019 controversial skit in which he played a Trump voter during Saturday Night Live\u2019s 50th anniversary special, Trump supporters are incensed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Tom Hanks\u2019 portrayal of a Trump voter in Saturday Night Live\u2019s 50th anniversary special, Donald Trump supporters expressed their outrage on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before denouncing the skit, a number of critics were spotted supporting Trump during the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Black Jeopardy! sketch that debuted in 2014 was at the heart of the controversy. Hanks portrayed Doug, a Trump admirer wearing an American Eagle T-shirt and a \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doug surprised host Darnell Hayes (played by Kenan Thompson) by correctly answering every question, despite presumptions that the quiz was targeted at the Black community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The irony was increased when Hayes once reached out to shake Doug\u2019s hand. Doug is reluctant at first, but he finally accepts the handshake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t like that, whoa, whoa, whoa,\u201d says Hanks\u2019 character, before he suggests, \u201cMaybe I\u2019ll start a show for you to come on and we\u2019ll call it \u2018White Jeopardy.’\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The irony was increased when Hayes once reached out to shake Doug\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conservative voters are furiously criticizing Tom Hanks on the internet.
Trump supporters strongly reacted negatively to the sketch, which prompted a barrage of criticism directed at Tom Hanks, SNL, and NBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many viewers vented their annoyance on social media, accusing the portrayal of being unfair and outdated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benny Johnson, a conservative pundit, responded angrily, saying, \u201cDonald Trump has never been more popular with Americans and just won a landslide election.\u201d They haven\u2019t gained any knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The controversy surrounding the purpose and significance of the sketch was further stoked when well-known right-wing pundit Mario Nawfal chimed in, referring to the humorous segment as \u201ctone deaf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHollywood still doesn\u2019t get it: portraying Trump supporters as racist caricatures while he\u2019s winning record minority support,\u201d said Benny Johnson, who criticized the sketch. SNL\u2019s 2025 attempt at 2016 jokes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Robert F. Kennedy Jr. aide Link Lauren also voiced disapproval, arguing that the sketch suggested that a large portion of Trump\u2019s supporters are racist: \u201cTrump won the popular vote.\u201d It\u2019s disgusting to use the cliche that MAGA is racist. For snobbish liberal elites, Saturday Night Live is an unfunny show. Rest in peace, SNL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly the lowest point in Tom Hanks\u2019 career, many other fans took to social media to express their deep offence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
