Trump Touts "Yes King March" on SNL, Claims He Freed George Santos from Prison

Donald Trump Celebrates 'Yes King March' on SNL: 'People Are Marching' Because I Freed 'Liar' George Santos In a bizarre moment during the latest episode of Saturday Night Live, Donald Trump appeared as himself and celebrated the "Yes King March," claiming that people are marching in support because he had freed disgraced former Republican congressman George Santos from prison. Trump's appearance on SNL came during a segment where he was interviewed by young men co-hosting the junk food podcast Snack Homiez. When asked about his thoughts on the candy Airheads, Trump launched into a long-winded answer that touched on the recent "No Kings" protests and his decision to pardon Santos. "I'm telling you, folks, people are marching because I freed Liar George Santos from prison," Trump said, according to an NBC source. "He's a great guy, a fantastic person, and he didn't do anything wrong. The deep state was out to get him, but I stepped in and saved the day." The "Yes King March" is not a real event, and it appears that Trump was referencing the recent "No Kings" protests, which have been taking place across the country in response to various social and economic issues. Trump's decision to pardon Santos has been widely criticized by politicians and pundits on both sides of the aisle. Santos was convicted of multiple counts of financial fraud and was sentenced to prison earlier this year. SNL cast member James Austin Johnson, who played Trump during his appearance on the show, told Variety that he was "surprised" by Trump's comments about Santos. "I think it's clear that Donald Trump is trying to spin this as some kind of victory, but in reality, it's just another example of him using his power to help out a friend," Johnson said. The appearance of Trump on SNL comes at a time when the show is facing increased scrutiny over its handling of politics and current events. The show has been accused of being too liberal and not doing enough to challenge the status quo. In related news, NBCUniversal has announced that it will be hosting a tribute event in Brazil in 2026 as part of its Golden Globes festivities. As for Trump's comments about Santos, they have sparked a heated debate on social media, with some defending his decision to pardon the former congressman and others criticizing him for using his power to help out a friend. The incident serves as a reminder that Trump remains a polarizing figure in American politics, and his words continue to carry significant weight, even if they are often met with skepticism by many. *Reporting by Variety.*
