‘SNL’ spoofed ‘The White Lotus’ with an epic sketch about President Donald Trump’s tariffs with appearances by Scarlett Johansson and Jon Hamm.
Welcome to The White POTUS.
“Saturday Night Live” spoofed “The White Lotus” with a viral sketch that took aim at President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
“The White POTUS” skit begins with Chloe Fineman as Melania Trump, channeling Parker Posey’s character Victoria Ratliff from the HBO show’s third season set in Thailand.
“Hun? Donald, are you getting ready? Hello? Earth to Donald, it’s your wife, Melania. Are you OK?” Fineman’s Melania says to James Austin Johnson’s Trump, who is eating chicken nuggets out of a pill bottle — a reference to Jason Isaacs’s Timothy Ratliff getting high on lorazepam in the show.
The mock Ratliff children (Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sam Nivola and Sarah Catherine Hook in the show) include Alex Moffat as Eric Trump, Mikey Day as Donald Trump Jr. and Scarlett Johansson as Ivanka Trump.
“We are so lucky that America will always be a rich and powerful nation. I mean, can you imagine how awful it would be if America lost all its money and no one in the world respected us anymore?” Fineman’s Melania says to her family at the dinner table.
