Strange Remarks by Famous American Figure on Trump's Condition: Is the U.S. President Dead?

Colin Jost said: Unfortunately, tonight we begin the show with bad news about President Trump.

In a satirical news segment on "Weekend Update," comedian and co-host Colin Just slammed Trump for failing to win the Nobel Peace Prize. He began his speech with this sentence: Unfortunately, tonight we have to start with a sad news about President Trump; No, I don't mean that news! The problem is that Trump has unfortunately not won the Nobel Peace Prize.

With this introduction, Just first sarcastically reminded the audience of the possibility of Trump's death and then said that he meant another news, the failure of the American president to win an award that he still expected to receive due to his warmongering.

This joke went back to Trump's own statements in an election rally; where he criticized the selection of the Nobel Peace Prize and claimed that the award was given to a "liberal person at the United Nations" whom no one knows. This year's winner is Navi Pillai, a lawyer and human rights activist from South Africa, who has a history of fighting apartheid, judging at the International Criminal Court of Rwanda and chairing the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on the Palestinian Territories. The commission concluded that Israel committed genocide in Gaza.

Referring to Trump's anger at not receiving the award, Just said: "He is really angry that he did not win the Peace Prize!" The comedian then pointed to the kidnapping of the president of Venezuela and the continuation of wars in the Trump era, and teased that despite these actions, the American president still thought he would win the Nobel Peace Prize this year. He likened the situation to someone expecting to win an Oscar for "Tom and Jerry." Michael Che, another host of the segment, also noted Pillai's joke when accepting the award. Pillai, who was present at a conference in Germany when the news was announced, told the audience that if they cheered more, he might share the award with Trump. Che quipped that such a harmless joke might make Trump bomb Pillai's country.

An allusion to Hegset and the war against Iran

The next part of the program was dedicated to the war against Iran. Just as US Secretary of War Hegst welcomed the return of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier to San Diego; A ship that has been on mission for more than 300 days.

Just, in the role of Hegset, addressed the sailors: After seven months of war, you have returned home safely; To sunny San Diego, the city that the president just asked Iran to bomb. I could not be more proud of you. This joke referred to Trump's recent statements about the war against Iran.

At an election rally in Nebraska, Trump described the war against Iran as "a small price to pay to keep the world" and America safe. He also claimed that if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, it can target a city in America and added: Let them hit Los Angeles. Let them beat San Diego.

In the continuation of this part, Just, in the role of Hegst, announced with a proud tone that the American forces have carried out more than three thousand combat missions; But he immediately continued the program with a series of jokes about the service conditions of the military and said: Only eight of you committed suicide; Both of them since I started talking. This joke refers to the mental state of soldiers after months of missions and war. Just continued, the sailors have done more than three thousand combat missions and have not had "even a healthy toilet". In this section, he used the inappropriate welfare conditions of the troops as a source of humor.

Hegst's actor also unveiled the new badge of the Ministry of War. When one of the sailors asked if this badge looked like a Nazi eagle, he replied: It's an American eagle with a Nazi vibe. The joke is that the new badge of the US War Department is similar to the military symbols of Nazi Germany; In particular, the spread-winged eagle used in the official insignia and insignia of Adolf Hitler's regime. The importance of this irony is that the joke is not limited to the design of a logo; Referring to Nazi symbols evokes authoritarianism and extreme militarism. Therefore, with this dialogue, the program both mocks the appearance of the badge and presents a critical image of the Trump administration's military approach.
