Overview
- Miles Teller plays both Drew and Jonathan Scott in a pre-taped Nov. 1 Saturday Night Live sketch that casts the HGTV twins as contractors for President Trump.
- The segment targets the real East Wing demolition to make space for a massive ballroom, joking that Trump’s budget is “between $350 million and infinity.”
- James Austin Johnson’s Trump boasts he could build with “the bones of my enemies,” flashes a mood board with Vladimir Putin and Jabba the Hutt, and asks for an MMA ring and revived “bum fights.”
- The sketch depicts demolition during a government shutdown by conscripting furloughed park rangers and astronauts, then riffs on deportations after Trump realizes construction workers were expelled.
- The bit ends with Trump calling ICE on the Canadian Property Brothers instead of paying, as coverage notes broader cultural pushback and polling showing majority opposition to the project.
