Overview

• The SNL season finale opened with James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump, mocking his recent Middle East trip and interactions with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
• The sketch highlighted ethical concerns over Qatar’s $400 million luxury jet, jokingly referred to as a ‘pre-bribe,’ offered to the U.S. for use as Air Force One.
• Johnson’s Trump exaggerated a ‘bromance’ with the Saudi prince and quipped about the absence of women on the trip, calling it ‘a nation of Melanias.’
• In a meta farewell, Johnson’s Trump broke the fourth wall, addressing the audience and joking he wouldn’t return until fall ‘if we still have a country.’
• Meanwhile, the real Donald Trump used Truth Social to dispute claims about the jet, insisting it is being donated to the U.S. Air Force and criticizing ABC News coverage.
