NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” dedicated its opening sketch to recap a wild week in politics, including Donald Trump’s Super Tuesday press conference featuring a frightened-looking New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie standing behind him.

“I really am running the best campaign, aren’t I?,” Trump, portrayed by “SNL” veteran Darrell Hammond, said. “The media is saying they haven’t seen anything like this. Not since Germany in the 1930s.”

“I mean, everyone loves me. Racists. Ugly racists. People who didn’t even know they were racists,” Hammond’s Trump continued. “I even have this fat piece of crap behind me now. Isn’t that right, Chris?”

Christie, played by “SNL’s” Bobby Moynihan, concurred: “Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Please, sir. May I have another?”

“I mean, he really is a sad, desperate little potato back there. Aren’t you, Chris?” Trump said.

Christie delivered the same response: “Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Please, sir, may I have another?”

“SNL” went on to mock the latest lowbrow turn in the Republican race.

“Also, P.S., America,” Trump said, “I have a great, big, huge dick.”

The opening sketch also mocked Hillary Clinton’s Super Tuesday stagecraft.

“To everyone who voted for me, thank you for trusting I, Hillary Clinton, can bring this country together,“ Kate McKinnon’s Clinton said. “Just like I brought these 10 black people and one Muslim person together behind me tonight for this speech.”

Later in the sketch, former “SNL” star Jason Sudeikis reprised his 2012 impersonation of Mitt Romney to poke fun at the former Massachusetts governor’s anti-Trump speech.

“I gave the most aggressive, passionate, well measured anti-Trump speech I could,” Sudeikis’ Romney said.

“And do you think you changed the minds of any Trump supporters?” CNN’s Jake Tapper, portrayed by “SNL’s” Beck Bennett, asked.

“I do not,” Romney admitted.
