The First Thanksgiving Gets Trumpified

The story of the first Thanksgiving is already steeped in myth, so why not jazz it up a little for the 2018 crowds?

The First Trumpsgiving, a sketch starring children who are eerily good at impersonating the commander in chief and his wife, takes us back to the first meal between the Native Americans and the pilgrims, who are far too busy building walls out of bread on their yachts to help prepare any other part of the feast. Typical.
