SNL Imagines Property Brothers’ White House Renovation for Donald Trump
WASHINGTON D.C. – Saturday Night Live delivered a sharp dose of political satire this weekend with a sketch featuring the Property Brothers attempting to remodel the White house for former President Donald Trump. The segment, starring host Miles Teller playing both Drew and Jonathan Scott, quickly became a viral highlight of the show.
The premise centered around Trump’s ambitious vision for the East wing, described as having a “strong eye for interior design.” Despite already implemented changes – including a Rose Garden redesigned to resemble “outdoor seating at an Olive Garden” and a portrait of Trump as the iconic Halo character Master Chief – the former President granted the property Brothers an unprecedented budget,ranging from “$350 million and infinity,” and complete freedom from permitting regulations. As Trump reportedly declared, ”I can build this ballroom with the bones of my enemy and no one would stop me.”
The sketch highlighted a series of outlandish requests from Trump,including the construction of an MMA fighting ring and a design aesthetic inspired by both Vladimir Putin and Jabba the Hutt. adding to the chaos, a government shutdown allowed the Property Brothers to enlist the help of park rangers and astronauts for the demolition phase of the project.
The skit resonated with viewers for its pointed commentary on Trump’s personality and past actions, delivered through the familiar and comedic lens of the popular home renovation show. Saturday Night Live has a long history of political parody, and this sketch continues that tradition, offering a humorous take on current and recent events.
