From Saturday Night Live

Saturday Night Live was joking about the failure of Iran peace negotiations just a couple of hours after JD Vance announced the failure to come to an agreement. 

The opening sketch in the US programme last night featured James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump saying: ’I sent in my secret weapon, JD Vance. After those Iranians spent 20 hours to JD, they said, "Please sir, just go back to bombing us."

It also featured Trump discussing his decision to end a Truth Social post with: ’Praise be to Allah.’

’It’s a sarcastic attack on the world’s largest religion,’ Johnson’s Trump said. ’They famously have a great sense of humour about that kind of stuff.’

Also mentioned in the scene were Tiger Wood’s car accident and Melania Trump’s 'big, random speech, completely out of nowhere’ saying that she was not an Epstein victim – which was also the premise for an SNL UK sketch last night.
