Saturday Night Live opened its season finale with the show’s Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) taking his seat in the audience and saying farewell until the fall.
“After tonight, you won’t be seeing me here for a while,” said Johnson’s Trump. “Well, not the fake, fun version of me that makes you smile. The real one will still be omnipresent. You can’t escape me, right? I’m everywhere, even in your dreams, like the late, great Freddy Krueger.”
Johnson was right: the real president has been posting on Truth Social throughout the evening, including an attack on ABC News for its report that he is planning to accept a $400 million plane from Qatar, to be used as Air Force One and later for his presidential library.
That gift of a 747 was the subject of some of the quips earlier in the sketch, as Trump relishes in his Middle East trip along with Saudi Crown Price Mohammed bin Salman.
