The Oscar winner took on the MAGA-hat-wearing function of Doug in a ‘Black Jeopardy’ skit, the place his character preached the world could be higher if extra folks went to church.
When sport present host Darnell Hayes — Kenan Thompson — went in for a handshake, Doug pulled again, saying, “Don’t like that, whoa, whoa, whoa!”
Clearly, Doug was the butt of the joke within the skit, with the viewers cracking up — however Trump supporters on-line have been not having it, calling it a drained and disgusting trope.
SNL determined it was a good suggestion to depict Tom Hanks as a “Racist Trump Supporter” in a MAGA Hat afraid to shake a black man’s hand.

This isn’t Hanks’ first rodeo … he first performed the conservative character again in 2016, simply earlier than Trump’s first time period win, and the skit was fairly in style on the time.
Instances have modified, even thought Doug’s been within the sport for some time!
