After Teller’s dupe of Drew Scott remarks on the president’s “strong eye for interior design,” Johnson is seen manically scattering gold urns across the Oval Workplace.
Declaring one of many “subtle changes” the Trumps made to the White Home throughout time period two, Teller jokes that the not too long ago razed Rose Backyard now appears like “outdoor seating at an Olive Garden.”
In accordance with the dual Tellers, Donald and Melania Trump nonetheless felt like one thing was “missing” from the 132-room sprawl, so after all, a ballroom was essentially the most sensible addition.
As “SNL” Donald Trump advised them, the finances was “between $350 million and infinity,” and that allows wouldn’t be an issue as a result of he “could build this ballroom with the bones of my enemies, and no one could stop me.” So, the brothers started working designing.
It seemed exhausting to mood Trump’s outlandish asks, which included supersizing the East Wing so massive it spilled into the road and including a brand new ring for MMA fights on the White Home garden.
To make sure the president’s imaginative and prescient was excellent, the twins had him whip up an inspiration board, which ended up together with pictures of “Star Wars” villain Jabba the Hutt, perennial Trump frenemy and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and oodles of gold inside design.
Although Teller’s model of the Scott brothers advised the president they had been dedicated to preserving the historic nature of the constructing in a textual content, Trump signaled he had different plans as he responded with a GIF of the White Home being obliterated within the film “Independence Day.”
As Johnson’s Trump surveyed the demolition, he rejoiced and stated, “It’ll be ready just in time for my third term!”
“That’s right! We want this to be our forever home,” Melania chirped because the fake president added, “Yes, because we’re not leaving. We’re gonna be doing something called ‘coup!’”
