Pill-Addled President Trump Goes Off The Rails In 'SNL' Air Force One Sketch
HuffPost
An Ambien and Adderall cocktail had the already-unfiltered president in top form during this weekend's cold open.
“Saturday Night Live” kicked off this weekend’s episode with a sketch showing a pill-addled President Donald Trump holding an anything-goes press conference on Air Force One.
In the skit, press secretary Karoline Leavitt (played by Ashley Padilla) braced herself for chaos as she told reporters, “I know you have questions for the president, but it’s very late, he’s exhausted. His brain is all over the place. So unfortunately, he can’t wait to talk to you.”
“SNL” resident POTUS impersonator James Austin Johnson then peeked his head out from behind the curtains and announced, “I’m ready to talk, and you know, this is exciting. Tonight I took both an Ambien and an Adderall, so we’re gonna see which one wins.”
But before taking questions, the faux Trump couldn’t help himself from fawning over his press secretary, as he’s become prone to do more than a few times in real life recently.
“How great is Karoline Leavitt. We love her. Oh, she’s got a beautiful face and those lips that don’t quit,” Johnson fawned as the camera panned in to Padilla’s face. “It’s pretty amazing that I can just openly simp over my young blonde subordinate.”
