Tom Hanks faces criticism for Trump supporter role in SNL skit

Tom Hanks is facing criticism for his portrayal of a Trump supporter in a skit on Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary. In the skit, Hanks reprised his character Doug, who wears a "Make America Great Again" hat and participates in a parody game show. The performance has sparked debate online, with some accusing Hanks of perpetuating negative stereotypes about Trump supporters. Critics argue that the portrayal does not reflect the current political landscape, while others suggest viewers should not take the skit too seriously. Hanks has previously hosted events for Democratic leaders, including Joe Biden and Barack Obama, highlighting his connections to the political left. The backlash marks a shift from his usual public persona as a widely liked figure.
