‘SNL’ Nails Trump Freeze When Man Collapsed in Oval Office

Saturday Night Live‘s latest cold open skewered the most famous image of the week: President Trump standing to the side while everyone else helped a man who had fainted in the Oval Office.

The White House soon released a statement announcing the man was OK, but the image of Trump was quickly mocked for the president’s apparently vacant reaction.

“I think I’m playing this very normal,” said James Austin Johnson’s Trump, walking into frame after the man collapsed.

“Just stand there and stare like a sociopath,” he said, joking that he “didn’t even pretend like I was going to help.”

“Each week, I like to create a big visual that sort of sums up how things are going,” Trump said about his presidency.

“Last week, it was the demolition of the East Wing,” he said. “This week, it’s a medical professional almost dying in my Oval Office at the mere thought of charging less for drugs.”

Trump mused, “Maybe next week a bald eagle will fall dead out of the sky and splat right on the White House lawn. And by lawn, of course, I mean big outdoor concrete floor.”
