“Saturday Night Live” roasted President Donald Trump’s chaotic first 100 days and his excessive use of executive orders in office during this week’s cold open.
The sketch show’s go-to Trump impersonator, James Austin Johnson, introduced himself as “your favorite president and perhaps your next pope” before looking back on his accomplishments, like banning paper straws and defunding PBS.
“I understand Elmo has now been apprehended by ICE,” he bellowed. “Brought to you by the letter ‘L’ for El Salvador.”
After patting himself on the back for his first 147 orders, Johnson invited his Deputy Chief of Staff and “lord of the shadows,” Stephen Miller (played by Mikey Day) to help him sign an absurd slate of new decrees.
Among the measures was what he called the “Belichick law,” a policy that would “make it socially acceptable for a man in his 70s to date a 24-year-old.”
“We’re gonna make girlfriends young again,” he said, referring to football coach Bill Belichick, 73, and his much younger other-half, Jordon Hudson, who made headlines for a cringe-inducing CBS interview last weekend.
“Old men can now date far younger women, we like that,” Johnson blurted out. “It’s hot! but in reverse it’s quite disgusting, right? Very ‘Dateline.’”
Also on the agenda was a pardon for “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling, who Trump credited with creating a “whole wizarding world, a wonderful place for overweight millennials to stake their entire identity well past the point of it being cute.”
To wrap up his executive order spree, the fake president announced a new policy shortening the word recession to “recess.”
“Fun right!” he smirked. “So America, get ready for a historically long recess.”
