President Donald Trump’s strong support for faith stands in sharp contrast to the left’s ongoing attacks on Christian values. Over the weekend, Saturday Night Live aired a sketch mocking Jesus Christ during Holy Week, sparking outrage among believers. The skit featured comedian James Austin Johnson as Trump interrupting a Bible scene to joke about tariffs and the economy. “It’s me, your favorite president, Donald Jesus Trump,” Johnson said, comparing Trump to the Son of God. The segment included jokes about the stock market “dying like Jesus” and a “$1,300 Trump Bible” that falls apart quickly. Critics called the sketch “satanic” and “disrespectful,” especially during the holiest time of the Christian calendar.
This isn’t the first time Hollywood has targeted faith. Last year, the Biden administration declared Easter Sunday as “Trans Day of Visibility,” sidelining the resurrection of Christ. Under Trump, the White House has restored public prayers and openly celebrated religious holidays. Press Secretary Caroline Lev even led a prayer before a briefing, asking for strength “in Jesus’ name.” Polls show Americans are returning to church under Trump’s leadership, with weekly attendance rising to 21% in 2024.
The SNL skit highlights a growing divide. While Trump champions traditional values, the left keeps pushing anti-religious messages. Social media erupted with anger over the show’s “blasphemous trash,” with many vowing to boycott NBC. One viewer tweeted, “Cancel the show!” Another called it “tacky and inappropriate.”
Conservatives argue that attacks on faith hurt the nation. Gallup polls reveal that 67% of Mormons and 21% of all Americans now attend services weekly, a rebound after years of decline. Trump’s focus on prayer and religious freedom has energized believers. His recent executive order boosting shower water pressure—while small—shows his commitment to undoing leftist policies.
The Biden era’s hostility toward Christianity still lingers. From mocking Jesus on TV to replacing Easter with political agendas, the left seems determined to erase faith from public life. But under Trump, prayers are back in the White House, and churches are filling up again. As Holy Week continues, many Americans see Trump as a defender of their beliefs in a culture that increasingly scoffs at them.
The SNL controversy proves one thing: the battle for America’s soul is far from over. While liberals ridicule sacred traditions, conservatives are fighting to keep faith alive. With Trump in office, believers finally have a leader who isn’t afraid to say “Merry Christmas” or call out Hollywood’s attacks on religion. This Easter, the choice is clear—stand with faith or let the left keep mocking it.
