President Donald Trump and his administration had an unpleasant stay at the White Lotus Hotel.
During this week’s “Saturday Night Live,” the show created its own spin on the most recent season of the popular HBO Max Show, replacing the characters in the show with Trump, members of his family, as well as Secretary Marco Rubio, Secretary of Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, and Jr.
The sketch begins with cast member James Austin Johnson as Trump sits in bed and stares into space as he plays the role of Timothy Rathriff, a family patriarch who gets caught up in a criminal investigation that could threaten his family’s money while on vacation in Thailand. Then comes Melania Trump, his wife with the infamous Victoria Ratliff accent, played by cast member Chloe Feynman.
“Hello, Donald, Earth. It’s your wife Melania, are you okay?” Feynman, as Melania Trump said. Johnson as Trump then breaks out and says he’s fine before taking the McDonald’s brand pill.
Later in the sketch, Donald and Melania Trump sit at the same breakfast table with their sons Don Jr. and Eric.
“We are very fortunate and America will always be a rich and powerful country,” says Johnson, as Trump stares ominously. “So you can imagine how bad it would be if America lost all its money and no one in the world respected us anymore?”
Johnson as Trump watches his phone and sees a Newsmax article entitled “Trump Causes a Global Recession.”

This week’s host, John Hamm, also jumped into the sketch as RFK Jr., who Finiman calls “just strange” as Melania Trump.
“In my head, I have all these crazy ideas,” as RFK says. “Like, I have this syringe for the active measles virus, so I just want to stab someone.”
“I mean I have all these crazy ideas,” he continued. “What if we remove fluoride from drinking water? What would it do to people’s teeth?”
The show then cut member Sarah Sherman as “White Lotus” character Chelsea to cast the famous back teeth.
Musical guest Rizzo appeared as Belinda Lindsay, and Scarlett Johansson played Ivanka Trump when he left the Buddhist temple.
Former cast member Beck Bennett also appeared in the sketch, reprising his role as Russian President Vladimir Putin. He says he will try to make Johnson feel good as Trump after waking up from a nightmare of pointing a gun in Uncle Sam, played by Andrew Disdakes, and put a 500% tariff on China.
“Vladimir, I think we all have strange dreams,” Trump said.
