The « Saturday Night Live » cast checked into » The White Lotus » for their latest political skit.
Saturday Night Live checked in to The White Lotus in its most recent episode, casting the family of President Donald Trump in a spoof of the hit HBO show.
The president recently announced that the U.S. would impose a 10-percent « baseline » tariff on virtually all imports and singled out roughly 60 countries for what he described as « discounted reciprocal tariffs. »
The White Lotus recently aired the finale of its third season, with this season seeing a 78-percent increase in viewership over Season 2, averaging 12.2 million viewers per episode, according to Esquire. The HBO anthology series explores the lives of an ultra-wealthy cast of characters at a lavish resort.
In the pre-taped sketch, titled « The White POTUS », SNL casts the Trump family (as well as the wider administration), as the characters featured in the most recent season of The White Lotus.
The Trumps take on the role of the Ratliffe’s in the skit, a Southern family plagued by financial woes and a crisis of morality.
