The latest episode of 'Saturday Night Live' humorously blends elements from Donald Trump’s world with HBO's 'The White Lotus,' creating a skit titled 'The White POTUS.' James Austin Johnson reprises his role as Trump, showcasing the character's absurdity in light of recent tariff announcements and their impact on financial markets. The sketch features notable cameos, including Scarlett Johansson as Ivanka Trump, who humorously wrestles with the idea of spiritual enlightenment. The reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with many fans deeming it one of the show's best sketches in recent times.
The spoof seems to have been a hit with fans, with many calling it the show's funniest skit in some time.
In line with her 'White Lotus' counterpart, Johansson's Ivanka is seen seeking spiritual enlightenment, only to change her mind when she's told: 'You must ask yourself: 'Am I ready to give up greed and material possessions in order to lead an honest and ethical life?'
Johnson's caricature of Trump is seen numbing his pain with a prescription bottle of chicken nuggets and threatening to shoot Uncle Sam himself.
Chloe Fineman, playing the role of Trump's wife Melania, asks: 'Can you imagine how awful it would be if America lost all its money and no one respected us anymore?'
