The final episode of Saturday Night Live’s 50th season kicks off – as so many recent ones have – with Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) front and center. Trump is in Saudi Arabia, standing alongside his new “habibi”, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (Emil Wakim). Trump is a big fan of everything Saudi Arabia has to offer: “From the oil to the money to end of list.” He also celebrates his visit to Qatar, where he was gifted a $400m plane, which he would much rather take than an American one: “Have you seen our planes? The radar is down, the screen is blank–Newark!”
After a dig at former SNL musical guest Morgan Wallen (“Get me back to Allah’s country”), Trump breaks the fourth wall, moving into the crowd. He kicks an unsuspecting audience member out of his seat and takes the guy’s spot next to a very attractive woman, proclaiming: “Sevens or more, sit on the floor. Six and below, to the bleachers you go.” He says goodbye for now, promising everyone that he’ll see them in the fall, “if we still have a country. It’s a coin toss.”
