Donald Trump Roasted on ‘SNL’ With “Racists for Trump” Ad

Saturday Night Live cut straight to the unfortunate truth about Republican frontrunner Donald Trump's mostly white fanbase with an all-too-apt parody campaign ad during Saturday's show: "Racists for Donald Trump." 

The sketch presented SNL actors as real people, engaged in ostensibly innocuous activity: doing their ironing, painting a house, hanging out at home, hauling wood to a pickup truck.

"He's definitely not P.C.," a man says, sitting beside a fire roaring in his hearth, onto which he casually tosses a book from the tall stack standing next to him.  

"So why do I support Trump?" another says, "Three words: Good. At. Business." The business he is implicitly referring to, it seems, is the business of making America white again — also the business of the hooded figures dancing around a cross blazing in the background.
