SNL’s Dark Spin on Trump’s Renovation Plans
Dramatic renovations have been a hot topic as Trump plans a massive ballroom project. He declared this grand addition as part of making the White House his “forever home.” During the sketch, he humorously commented, “It will be ready just in time for my third term.”
Outrageous Budget Proposals
The humor continued as Trump described his eye-popping budget, stating it ranged from $350 million to infinity. Teller’s character quipped about Trump’s nonchalant attitude towards permits, asking if he’d need one. Trump responded with, “I could build this ballroom with the bones of my enemies, and no one could stop me.”

The absurdity of the proposed ballroom escalated as Fineman’s Melania referenced her husband’s passion for dancing and her need for personal space. “They paved the Rose Garden and turned it into what looks like outdoor seating at an Olive Garden,” Teller humorously remarked.
Trump’s Return to the White House
With the Trumps back in a house they were evicted from in 2021, the sketch portrayed their life characterized by extravagant design choices. As Johnson’s Trump noted, “It’s very important to be happy these days.
