The latest episode of “SNL” featured a hilarious parody of “The White Lotus” season 3, taking a satirical look at President Trump’s inner circle in the midst of his controversial tariffs. In the skit, Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, takes on the role of Timothy Ratliff, who is facing backlash for his tariff plan that caused chaos in the stock market.
The Trump family is hilariously portrayed in the parody, with Chloe Fineman embodying Melania with a southern accent reminiscent of Parker Posey’s character. Mikey Day reprises his role as Don Jr., who finds himself in a shocking sex scene with Tiger Woods, played by Kenan Thompson.
The star-studded parody includes cameos from Scarlett Johansson as Ivanka, Alex Moffat as Eric, Beck Bennett as Vladimir Putin, and host Jon Hamm as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Sarah Sherman also joins in as Chelsea, while Lizzo makes a clever appearance as Belinda for a stock market joke. Jon Gries, a real-life “White Lotus” cast member, makes a quick cameo as Greg.
The skit also touches on the “three women” storyline, with Ashley Padilla and Heidi Gardner portraying Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem, and Marcello Hernández as Marco Rubio. The parody comes as no surprise following the buzz surrounding the dramatic ending of “The White Lotus,” which garnered high ratings and became a popular topic of discussion.
