Saturday Night Live‘s Donald Trump, appearing in the show’s cold open yet another time, walked out of the season 50 finale’s first sketch to flirt with women in the audience and to formally sign off until September–“if we still have a country.”
Trump (James Austin Johnson) began by proclaiming how much he enjoyed his three-country tour through the Middle East.
“It was very much a boys trip,” he said alongside Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (Emil Wakim). “I don’t think I saw a singlewoman.What’s up with that, huh?All the time just walking into aroomful of boys.‘Hi, boys.’‘Boys again!’The women are all hiding. It’s like a nation of Melanias.”
When the heir to the Saudi throne invited Trump to build a palace next to his and stay, Trump declined.
“Sadly, I can’t.I have to get back home,” he said. “Luckily, we have our own littleslice of Saudi Arabia inAmerica: a dry desert area filled withpeople who are way too intotheir religion.We call ours Utah, and I do very well there.So I can’t stay here in theMiddle East.In fact, you know what?I can’t even stay in this sketchmuch longer.”
“Because it’s the SNL finale.Season 50–worst one yet!” he joked, walking off the stage towards the audience.
Trump then instructed a man in the front row to get up and “go eat Sun Chips in the hallway” so he could take his seat.
“I’m here to break the fourthwall,” he announced, before turning to the women seated around him.
“Oh, it’s nice here with all the young, prettypeople,” he went on. “Look at her, wow.Sevens or more.Sevens or more, sit on the floor, six and below, to the bleachers yougo!”
“That’s like a Gutfeld joke–kind of rhymed,” he added, referring to Fox News hostGreg Gutfeld.
SNL‘s Trump concluded by noting that while he will be gone for the summer, the real president is unfortunately inescapable.
“Since it’s the finale, thatmeans after tonight you won’t beseeing here here for a while,” he said. “Well, not the fake, fun versionof me that makes you smile.The real one will still be on. You can’t escape me, right?I’m everywhere.Even in your dreams, like the late, great FreddyKrueger.”
“So, see you again in the fall–ifwe still have a country, right?” he said.“It’s a coin toss.”
