Get ready to chuckle, folks! Saturday Night Live is not done poking fun at the hit HBO series, The White Lotus.
In a comedic gem aired this Saturday, SNL unleashed a pre-taped sketch titled "The White POTUS," where Donald Trump and his family embark on a laugh-out-loud Thai vacation. James Austin Johnson nailed the role of Trump, embodying him as he wallows in despair after crashing the U.S. economy with his controversial tariffs. Picture him munching on McDonald's chicken nuggets to drown his sorrows!
Chloe Fineman further elevated the comedy with her spot-on impression of Melania Trump. Meanwhile, Trump's sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, engaged in a hilariously intense debate over protein smoothies, while daughter Ivanka sought spiritual guidance from a Buddhist guru, brilliantly portrayed by Scarlett Johansson.
However, when the guru urged Ivanka to confront the heavy question of abandoning greed for a more ethical life, she quickly made her escape!
The sketch also featured host Jon Hamm portraying a knife-wielding RFK Jr., and Sarah Sherman sporting outlandish fake teeth as Rick's girlfriend Chelsea. To top it all off, a familiar face returned: former SNL cast member Beck Bennett reprised his role as the infamous Vladimir Putin, the only one seemingly equipped to console Trump after a night of distress.
SNL continues to blend humor and politics effortlessly, proving that even in turbulent times, laughter remains the best medicine!
