James Austin Johnson’s President Donald Trump explained his tariffs plan during the latest “Saturday Night Live” cold open, teasing a new era in his presidency he called “MAGDA: Make America Great Depression Again.”

“My favorite word, tariff, which, of course, is short for tarrific idea,” Trump said, reenacting the President’s speech from the rose garden Wednesday.

“It’ll be great. It’ll be better than great. It will be a fantastic, unbelievable depression,” he said. “Never seen before. This depression is going to be so great. We’ll be the ones eating the cats and the dogs.”

Mike Myers joined as Elon Musk later on, introducing a new Tesla Model V that vandalizes itself, saying that users could choose a penis or a swastika graffiti to display on the new electric car model.
