These are too specific to the Trump 2016 campaign


** For a couple months, the show portrayed Kellyanne Conway as a guilt-ridden broken shell over her role in Donald Trump becoming president. After it became clear that she wasn't going away any time soon, was still an avid Trump supporter, and was going to have a role in the then-upcoming Trump administratin, they switched gears as announced with a spoof of "Roxie" from ''Theatre/{{Chicago}}'' the day after the inauguration.
** The show changed its portrayal of both UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton and UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump drastically over the course of the campaign. In early skits Trump, while still portrayed as a bully, was established as fairly intelligent and a DeadpanSnarker, before evolving into StupidEvil. Clinton, on the other hand, started out as power hungry with NoSocialSkills, before becoming the OnlySaneMan in the face of Trump's lunacy.

It's stuck in his throat (and somehow ''still works''), and eventually kills him.

* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: ''Weekend Update'' in season 49 has been taking a particularly bloodthirsty direction, eventually leading to this:
--->'''Colin:''' In a video on Truth Social, Donald Trump falsely said that Democrats support "abortion up to the 9th month and beyond", saying the baby is "executed after birth"; but he only believes that because when Trump was a baby, a bunch of time travellers showed up trying to kill him.
