"In a four-minute sketch to kick off Saturday night's show, James Austin Johnson playing Trump broke the fourth wall and addressed viewers directly, while standing several feet away from the man who had just fainted and not acting concerned for his wellbeing in any way. Oh, hi! Trump said. Didn't see you there. Someone was dying in my office. I think I'm playing this very normal. Just stand there and stare like a sociopath. Didn't even pretend like I was gonna help."
"Each week, I like to create a big visual that sort of sums up how things are going, Trump said. Last week, it was the demolishing of the East Wing. This week, it's a medical professional almost dying in my Oval Office at the mere thought of charging less for drugs. Maybe next week, a bald eagle will fall dead out of the sky and splat right on the White House lawn. And by lawn,' of course, I mean big outdoor concrete floor!"
Saturday Night Live opened with a four-minute sketch featuring James Austin Johnson as President Trump breaking the fourth wall while standing near a man who had fainted in the Oval Office. The sketch portrayed an indifferent response with lines encouraging a detached stare and admitting not pretending to help. The sketch also depicted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speeding away from the scene, with a parenthetical noting the White House said he attempted to get medical help. The segment included jabs about the East Wing demolition, drug pricing, and a final quip about presidential health. NBC posted footage of the sketch.
