On Saturday Night Live, they immediately delved into this week’s major headline – the intense confrontation between President Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian President.
This week’s episode of NBC’s satirical comedy show began by mocking the high-profile encounter where key figures, including Vice President J.D. Vance, engaged in a heated exchange during a White House meeting. In the final 10 minutes, Trump and Vance reportedly criticized Ukrainian president Zelensky before he was asked to depart from the White House.
Greetings all, it’s me, the president and CEO of Gaza Hotel and Casino – James Austin Johnson speaking as Donald Trump. I’m delighted to extend this warm welcome to President Zelensky, joining us today at this remarkable event. It promises to be a grand occasion filled with many surprises. We’re eagerly looking forward to engaging with him soon, in what will be an exciting interaction, without any specific motive behind it.
In a different phrasing:
“President Zelensky, it seems like you’d like to share some thoughts, perhaps express your affection towards President Putin and apologize for the conflict that arose between our nations. Perhaps you even propose a friendly gesture, such as an invitation for a shared evening with your wife,” Johnson’s Trump suggests. However, before Zelensky could respond, Bowen Yang’s Vance interrupts him.
Yang, Vance speaks up, “Pardon me, but I believe it’s my turn now, as that was part of our arrangement. Aren’t we supposed to express gratitude? Haven’t we forgotten about thanking each other in the last fifteen seconds of my speaking?
“I’ve said thank you,” Day’s Zelensky declares.
Yang’s Vance persists with his criticism, pointing out that you didn’t express your gratitude upon entering, nor did you compliment our good looks,” he says, continuing the conversation. “Instead of acknowledging our handsomeness, you remained silent. You never even asked who my charming gentlemen are.
Even though Day’s Zelensky had limited chances to speak, Yang’s Vance interjected, “It seems you’ve been speaking for quite a while now. I must apologize, but isn’t this supposed to be America House, not Ukraine House?
Later on, Johnson criticizes Zelensky’s outfit, saying, “You’re not dressed in a suit – it’s impolite! It’s unusual to appear at the White House in a t-shirt and jeans like an ordinary person.” However, ironically, Mike Myers as Elon Musk walks in, also wearing a casual t-shirt and jeans.
Donald, why are you in my office? Don’t you remember I’m the president here, Elon Musk jokes playfully. “Just joking, just joking, perhaps not,” he adds.
Later on, Musk discusses the criticism aimed at the Trump administration’s informal Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which he oversees. “People claim I’m letting employees go without reason,” Musk states, “but I do have reasons. They’re simply that I decide to do so.” Musk then chuckles uneasily.

Musk addresses the accusations against the Trump administration’s unofficial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which he leads. “People say I dismiss staff without justification,” he admits, “but I actually have reasons. They’re just that I choose to make those decisions.” Musk then breaks into an awkward fit of laughter.
Johnson’s Trump remarks that we appreciate mass layoffs because it’s unnecessary to remember names or specific roles, a reference to DOGE’s contentious reduction of various U.S. federal agencies as part of an effort by Trump to drastically decrease spending, trim workforce, and streamline selected programs.
Musk acknowledges that we won’t achieve perfection, but we’re letting go of some employees who aren’t vital, such as air traffic controllers. Trump responds by saying, in essence, ‘Some flights might land with the underbelly facing up, but then you can easily access your luggage and be ready to proceed.’
