"Saturday Night Live"'s portrayal of Donald Trump's presidency has ranged from hilariously insightful to downright disappointing. But the cold open for this week's show, which depicted Trump at a rally in New Mexico, got it wrong in several major ways. First,"SNL" slammed Trump supporters -- painting them, collectively speaking, as complete buffoons. That depiction furthers the right's long-standing claim that the entertainment industry has contempt for conservatives. Second,"SNL" positioned Trump as the responsible person, who was a voice of reason, trying to rein in his supporters' worst instincts. Nothing could be further from the truth.
