\u201cSaturday Night Live<\/a>\u201d kicked off this weekend\u2019s episode with a sketch showing a pill-addled President Donald Trump<\/a> holding an anything-goes press conference on Air Force One.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the skit<\/a>, press secretary Karoline Leavitt<\/a> (played by Ashley Padilla) braced herself for chaos as she told reporters, \u201cI know you have questions for the president, but it\u2019s very late, he\u2019s exhausted. His brain is all over the place. So unfortunately, he can\u2019t wait to talk to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cSNL<\/a>\u201d resident POTUS impersonator James Austin Johnson<\/a> then peeked his head out from behind the curtains and announced, \u201cI\u2019m ready to talk, and you know, this is exciting. Tonight I took both an Ambien and an Adderall, so we\u2019re gonna see which one wins.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But before taking questions, the faux Trump couldn\u2019t help himself from fawning over his press secretary, as he\u2019s become prone<\/a> to do more than a few times<\/a> in real life recently<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHow great is Karoline Leavitt. We love her. Oh, she\u2019s got a beautiful face and those lips that don\u2019t quit,\u201d Johnson fawned as the camera panned in to Padilla\u2019s face. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty amazing that I can just openly simp over my young blonde subordinate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cCan we get a close-up? People need to see this. Look at those lips,\u201d the president said. \u201cThey go \u2018bop, bop, bop\u2019 like a machine gun. She liked it because I\u2019m very nice to women.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But just an instant later, Johnson pointed to celebrity.land<\/a>\u2019s Kaitlan Collins and said, \u201cYes, you have a question, you nasty, horrible witch.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Barely entertaining her ask about affordability, he next addressed the escalating situation at Venezuela and the oil tanker that was seized in the Caribbean<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYes, we\u2019re doing pirate now. Argh!\u201d Trump said, before rolling \u201cdeclassified video\u201d of a suspected drug-trafficker being struck while soaring through the sky in a reindeer-led sleigh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWas that Santa?\u201d a bewildered reporter asked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cNot anymore,\u201d Trump beamed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Next on the agenda were recently released photos<\/a> from Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s estate, which included the president.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cLook, the fact is, these photos are fake news. A Democrat hoax,\u201d he rebuffed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cEven the picture of a bowl of condoms with your face on them, and the text saying \u2018I\u2019m huge\u2019?\u201d the reporter pressed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unable to pass on an opportunity to boast, \u201cThey\u2019re 100% legit. I love those files. I\u2019m in the files! I took a lot of great pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At that point, Padilla\u2019s Leavitt knew it was time to shut things down, but the pretend president had to get in one last word.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI have to begin my pre-bedtime self-care ritual, putting a bandage on my hand and covering it with makeup, then adding more layers of bandage and makeup,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s a medical lasagna. Mamma mia!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe should all be very worried about my health, I\u2019m very ill, then I will brush my teeth before drifting off and dream about Karoline\u2019s mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
