After saying he’s “not crazy about a Muslim,” Trump gives his “MRI punch card” to a man who had fainted in the Oval Office
Saturday Night Live‘s Donald Trump couldn’t be bothered to help a man who had fainted in the Oval Office, instead using the break in his press conference to grumble about New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and other Democratic election winners.
“I think my plan is pretty normal: stand here and stare like a sociopath,” Trump (James Austin Johnson) said while others tended to the man, leading to a viral photograph. “Didn’t even pretend like I was going to help, like when someone drops something and you do the fake bend.”
Stepping over the man, who ended up being okay, the president called the medical event a “great capper to an awesome week—except for election.”
“The Democrats won. The lamestream media called the elections a rebuke of Trump. Joke’s on them: they’re Stephen Miller’s policies,” he said.
“I can’t believe they elected Mamdani. We like to say ‘Mamdani!’ You know, I’m torn because I like a winner, but I’m not crazy about a Muslim. Maybe he’ll convert, right? We’ll put him in line behind ‘Ursha’ Vance,” he said. “And I hope I’m pronouncing that wrong.”
Trump then spun two difficult issues facing his administration: consumer dissatisfaction with the cost of goods and the ongoing government shutdown, which is the longest in history.
“I promised grocery prices would plummet, and they did: they plummeted straight up! But people are saying, ‘Sir, how will I afford my Thanksgiving turkey for my family?’ Well, the good news is your family isn’t coming because all the planes are gone,” he said, as his administration plans to cut ten percent of flights as the shutdown drags on. “We call that problem solving problem: killing two birds with another bird.”
