Miles Teller Plays Both Property Brothers in SNL’s Trump White House Sketch

The pre-taped segment lampoons the president’s ostentation through a fantastical renovation capped by authoritarian punchlines.

Overview

  • The sketch assigns the twins to build a new White House ballroom for Donald Trump, portrayed by James Austin Johnson.
  • Chloe Fineman appears as Melania Trump, delivering a dry aside about holiday decorations during a tour of the residence.
  • Trump’s wish list includes a budget “between $350 million and infinity,” a Halo-style self-portrait and an MMA ring.
  • Scene beats fold in a government shutdown and deportations as obstacles to an East Wing demolition.
  • The piece closes with lines about a third term and “coup,” followed by Trump calling ICE on the Canadian contractors.
