Everybody's Saying The Same Thing About The Trump And Leavitt "SNL" Sketch

Viewers Call Trump SNL Sketch Too Close To Reality

In the spirit of the holidays, the cold open began with the narrator saying, "On a cold December night, high above the Earth flies a big, jolly man of considerable girth, making his way to every home under the sun in his magical sleigh... Air Force One."

Then it abruptly cut to the White House Press Secretary surrounded by reporters.

Then, Trump made his grand entrance with extremely awkward antics that, unfortunately, are not too far off from reality.

He awkwardly obsessed over Karoline's mouth.

Then, Trump told CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins (Chloe Fineman) that affordability was a "made-up term," mocking real comments he made on Dec. 2 about affordability being a "fake narrative" and "con job." Last month, he said affordability was a "new word" created by Democrats.

Eventually, Trump began ranting about how the government is "doing pirate now," referencing the US executing a seizure warrant on an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.

After Trump admitted the Ambien is winning, he began ranting about his connection to the Epstein files, at first calling it a hoax before changing his tune, saying, "I'm in the files, I took a lot of great pictures," which made Karoline cut the interview short.

This SNL cold open had everybody on the internet saying the same thing:

"This is the most unhinged cold open in a long time."

"The funniest and saddest part about this is that the dialogue is probably 95% direct quotes."

"SNL just uploaded an actual interview from Air Force One and thought we wouldn't notice 😅."

"It's not satire, it's a documentary."

"This is gold 🎄😭 😭 😭 I wish it wasn't so accurate."

"Its funny....because this is just a reenactment documentary."

"If you have this playing in the background and not really paying close attention, you would actually think it's Trump 😂."

"yeah sometimes during these funny sketches I have moments where I want to laugh, but also remember the reality of Trump and times we live in, ugh."
