Tom Hanks has ignited backlash from Donald Trump supporters following his appearance in a politically charged sketch on Saturday Night Live’s 50th-anniversary special.
On February 16, a star-studded lineup, including Meryl Streep, Martin Short, Jack Nicholson, and Aubrey Plaza, gathered in New York to celebrate five decades of the iconic sketch comedy show.
Hanks, known for his legendary Hollywood career, participated in a skit that didn’t sit well with some Trump supporters. During a parody game show segment, Black Jeopardy, the Forrest Gump star played a character named Doug—sporting a red “Make America Great Again” hat.
At one point in the sketch, host Kenan Thompson extended a handshake to Doug, who hesitated before finally shaking hands, saying, “Not a fan of that, whoa, whoa, whoa. Maybe I should make a show for you and call it White Jeopardy.”
The moment quickly drew criticism online, with some viewers accusing SNL of mocking Trump voters. One social media user wrote, “Tom Hanks went on SNL looking rough, making fun of millions of Trump supporters—portraying them as ignorant, racist country bumpkins. Keep it up, leftists. You’ll never win another election.”
Link Lauren, a former adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also weighed in, tweeting: “Tom Hanks just played a MAGA supporter hesitant to shake a Black man’s hand on SNL. And they wonder why their ratings keep tanking. Trump won the majority vote. This outdated narrative that MAGA is racist is ridiculous. SNL is an unfunny show for elitist liberals.”
Other Trump supporters echoed similar frustrations, with one saying, “Nobody in the audience even laughed,” while another added, “This makes me so mad. SNL just painted all MAGA supporters as racists.”

Mаn сарturеs glоwing figurе shining thrоugh сlоuds
There are many people who believe it to be a sign.
There are certain happenings and interactions in life that, regardless of one’s religious beliefs or lack thereof, leave us with the impression that they are a part of something more significant.
In order to have confidence in God, one must refrain from casting doubt on the events that take place or the trials and tribulations that may arise along the journey.
Alfredo Lo Brutto, who is from Italy, recently uploaded a photograph on social media that he had taken of a figure in the sky that looked strikingly similar to the statue of Christ the Redeemer that is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This amazing statue stands at a height of 30 meters and is not only one of the largest statues depicting Jesus but also the highest art deco statue that exists anywhere in the globe.
When Alfredo shаrеd the breathtaking photograph that he had shot over the Tyrrhenian sea, it managed to stir up some sort of controversy. There are those who believe the figure to be divine and a sign from God, while others maintain that it is simply the clouds with the sun shining through them.
That is not the first time that individuals have had differing perspectives of images that have emerged online, and this time, there is a good amount of people on both sides of the argument.
“The scenery completely captivated me. Alfredo told Daily Mail, “I don’t often shаrе images on social media, but when I took this one, I instantly felt likе I wanted other people to see it because it was so beautiful.” “I don’t shаrе pictures on social media very often since I don’t shаrе many pictures.”
Even if you don’t think you can make out a picture of Jesus in this picture, we can all agree that this picture is remarkable because it captures the splendor of the natural world that we live in.
Where do you stand? What do you see before you? Do you think that this sign could be connected to higher powers?
