“Saturday Night Live” ridiculed the recent trip of the Middle East of President Donald Trump at the end of the season, trivializing what the administration announced as an important restart of foreign policy.
The Cold Open had James Austin Johnson as an exaggerated Trump with a fictional heir prince Mohammed Bin Salman. The sketch suggested an unlikely joke.
“We are together now, joking or for the course, but we are vibrating,” Trump joked about Johnson, as he thought describing a new romance.
“I, or of course, I am a great admirer of everything Saudi Arabia has to sacrifice, from oil to money. To the end of the list,” he added.

Actually, Trump returned to Washington promoting three important investment agreements worth bills of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar, the commitments he said they would reinforce the economy of the United States.
Trump of SNL implied that their motives were not so patriotic.
“I didn’t make this trip to myself. I want to make it clear. I did this for the American people. And, in many ways, my personal enrichment. I did it too. I did it very well on this trip,” he boasted.
The show also took advantage of the controversy on a endowed $ 400 million plane to the United States, an issue that is now under the scrutiny of the Democrats of the House of Representatives.

“The Qatar gave me a $ 400 million plane. Can you believe that? And people said it was a kind of bribery,” said the false president. “It is not true, it is not true, because they have not asked for anything in return. Well, not yet. Very well, then it is a pre-white.”
The true Trump defended the acceptance of the plane in an interview on Friday with the political presenter of Fox News Bret Baier, qualifying it as a “good business” and pointing out delays in the new Air Force One De Boeing project.
SNL then made fun of the recent safety scares of Boeing and the country’s old air traffic control system. Johnson’s Trump complained that he preferred the Qatar plane on an American plane.
“Have you seen what is happening with our planes? The radar is inactive and the screen is white: Newark,” he said, referring to the last three equipment interruptions in Newark Liberty International in recent weeks.
A second segment in the episode, led by host Scarlett Johansson and musical guest Bad Bunny, also put in light of Newark’s radar failures, turning the problem into a comic rap a stressful landing and the pilots were cut from the control tower.

“Since it is a final, that means that after tonight, you will not see me here for a while. Well, not the false and fun version of me that makes you smile. The real one will still be omnipresent. Can you range, right?
Before signing for its summer parenthesis, Trump’s fictional version joked: “See you again in autumn, if we still have a country.”
