The latest episode of “Saturday Night Live” concluded its season with a political cold open featuring a sketch of James Austin Johnson as Trump interacting with Saudi Arabian Prime Minister and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, played by Emil Wakim. The sketch humorously depicted Trump discussing his recent trip to the Middle East, including his preference for eating at “Mobile McDonald’s” and his acceptance of a $400 million Air Force One plane from Qatar as a “pre-bribe”.
During the sketch, Trump expressed his admiration for Saudi Arabia, jokingly stating, “I am a fan of everything Saudi Arabia has to offer, from the oil to the money to end of list.” He also playfully declared his love for the Arab culture, exclaiming, “I love the Arabs! I love the Arabs! I donât want to go! I want to stay! Get me to Allahâs country.”
As the season finale of “SNL,” Trump broke the fourth wall by addressing the audience and jokingly remarking, “Season 50 â worst one yet!” He hinted at taking a break from the show, teasing, “After tonight, you wonât be seeing me here for a while â not the fake one that makes you smile. See you again in the fall if we still have a country â itâs a coin toss!”
The cold open concluded with Trump’s comedic antics and self-aware humor, providing a light-hearted and entertaining start to the season finale. Watch the full sketch below for a dose of political satire and comedic relief.
