During the Season 43 premiere of Saturday Night Live, the shows Weekend Update anchors hit out at President Donald Trump over his response to the Puerto Rico hurricane aftermath.
Michael Che had harsh words about the president’s Twitter attacks on San Juan’s mayor, who the president said ‘was very complimentary only a few days ago’ and ‘has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump.’
‘Oh really, Donald? You b****,’ Che responded. ‘Was she nasty to you? How nasty? Are you shaking? Do you want to smoke a Virginia Slim until your hand stops moving?’
He added: ‘This isn’t a complicated issue, man, it’s hurricane relief.

Che concluded: ‘In one month you have mishandled Puerto Rico, DACA, the NFL.
‘It’s like when anybody darker than your golf pants has a problem you’re thinking, how can I make this worse?’

‘Trump says the people of Puerto Rico ‘want everything to be done for them,’ Jost said.
‘Then he told his caddy to repair his divot and drive him to the next hole.
‘Hey, Trump always said he was going to get things done faster than any other president. And now I believe him. Because it took George W. Bush five years to get his Katrina.’
At least 16 people have died in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria. The U.S. territory still remains largely without power.
