SNL Mocks Trump White House Remodel in 'Property Brothers' Parody
Saturday Night Live did a funny skit pretending to be the TV show 'Property Brothers' helping President Trump redo the White House.
The host, Miles Teller, played both of the TV brothers.
The Trump character, played by James Austin Johnson, had wild ideas for the remodel, like putting gold everywhere and building a big ballroom because he likes to dance.
He even showed a painting of himself as a video game character and wanted to add fighting rings.
Trump also joked about not leaving the White House, even after his term, and threatened to call ICE on the Canadian TV hosts when asked about payment.
The skit mixed humor about Trump's personality with a popular home renovation show.
