Saturday Night Live continued to harshly criticize President Donald Trump on its most recent Weekend Update segment.

Anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che discussed everything from Trumps late-night rants to his ideas of merit-based immigration policies, to the embattled adviser Kellyanne Conway.

The segment comes on the heels of Trumps first speech to Congress, an hourlong affair that some have considered the first presidential moment from the 45th president.

On SNL, the Update anchors began the 15-minute bit by calling out Trumps Twitter usage.

Youre the president of the United States and youre asking for legal advice on Twitter? Che fires.

This guys train of thought is just baffling..."

Then, Jost discusses the speech before Congress. He was able to speak like a human for over an hour, he comedically reminds viewers.

(But the) bar (was) set at: Read words good.

Che then closes in on the perceived optimistic tone of the speech. (Its) hard to believe coming from a guy who spent a good part of his life as a slum lord. Che says that the likely response to tenants was, (Just) send some Russian guy to do it.

On the topic of merit-based immigration policy, Jost says that the system is contrary to American values.

He continues by adding that the reason his ancestors immigrated to America was because God took their potatoes away.

As an aside, Che adds, At least they had a choice.

The same anchor then discusses what Trump has called the depleted military.

In relation to what, the Death Star? he wonders.

Jost then crosses the aisle a bit, poking fun at the Democratic response to the speech, delivered by the former governor of Kentucky, Steve Beshear.

Jost says that the lights looked like they were running on a backup generator.

He adds that the speech didn't inspire confidence. It was more like trying to sell my grandparents Colonial Penn life insurance.

Soon, the TV personalities discussed the embattled Kellyanne Conway.

Che says that her job sucks... We've all had rough jobs. (But) imagine being customer service for Donald Trump?

Whats more, Jost says that Vice President Mike Pence chose AOL to conduct state business because Hotmail was forbidden by his church.

The anchors then bring out Donald Trump, Jr. (Mikey Day) and Eric Trump (Alex Moffat) to discuss recent events.

A somewhat brainless Eric says, I drove the golf car.

Its called golf cart, with a T, Donald Jr. informs his younger brother.

All the deals coming to fruition now, came long before my father.... Donald Jr. says, while being interrupted by his brother. Colin, bottom line, the only people making decisions regarding the Trump Organization are Eric and myself.

Eric offers, And Dad!

The segment closed with the continuation of the running gag featuring Kate McKinnon as Conway, with her legs folded beneath her, in a random spot.
