Trump's White House Makeover: HGTV Reality on SNL Parody
The Trump family is known for its affinity with reality TV, which only adds to their unconventional decision to seek out celebrity renovators from HGTV to revamp the White House ballroom. The latest sketch on Saturday Night Live (SNL) pokes fun at this unusual move.
In a hilarious skit, the Trumps enlist the hosts of "Property Brothers" to oversee the renovation project, which comes with a budget of "$350 million to infinity." As they set to work adding more gold to the presidential home, they reveal their eclectic design sense. The president shows his moodboard, featuring images of Vladimir Putin and Jabba the Hutt's palace from "Return of the Jedi," much to the confusion of his wife Melania.
The absurdity escalates as Miles Teller's property bro walks through a passage adorned with dead trees and skeletons, complimenting the First Lady's Halloween decorations. Melania clarifies that those are for Christmas. The Trumps' plan takes a darker turn when they announce their intention to stick around for an extended period. "It'll be ready just in time for my third term," James Austin Johnson's Trump says, hinting at a possible coup.
In a moment of levity, Melania explains that the Trumps aim to make the White House their "forever home." The sketch masterfully balances humor with satirical commentary on the Trump family's unconventional approach to politics and renovation.

$350 million to infinity? That's wild! But for real though, if they're gonna do it, let them bring their A-game (or in this case, their gold obsession 
). The idea of "Property Brothers" trying to renovate the White House is already pretty funny. I mean, can you imagine Drew and Jonathan trying to work with all that history and protocol? It's like they're trying to flip a mansion on HGTV but instead it's the whole country 
. And OMG, James Austin Johnson's Trump line about his third term? That's some crazy talk 
. But in all seriousness, this sketch is spot on - the Trumps are definitely one of a kind. Let's just hope they don't actually try to make it their "forever home" or we'll be stuck with a whole lot of gold and no White House 
.
! I mean, who else but Trump would think to renovate the White House ballroom with a budget that sounds like a never-ending loop of "I'll be back" 
The Property Brothers are just the cherry on top of this absurdity sundae 
. And I'm dead with James Austin Johnson as Trump saying he wants to stick around for his third term 
.
I mean, who wouldn't want to see Trump's tacky taste in decor reflected on SNL? It's like they're trying to make a joke out of their own absurdity 
. And can you imagine the actual renovation process with those Property Brothers as 'experts'? 
Trump's design sense is straight out of a bad reality TV show 
Gold-plated toilets and walls, because why not? 
oh man i feel like the whole thing is just so... much! i mean, can you even imagine anyone besides some crazy rich people wanting to make the white house their "forever home"? 
the skit is literally giving me life 
can't help but think how much gold they're gonna need for that ballroom makeover... 
but like seriously how can u try to sneak around the fact that ur running for re-election and expect ppl to just be like "oh yeah okay" 
That's just crazy talk! And those moodboards though... Putin and Jabba's palace? Is this for real? 
But honestly, I kinda love how absurd it all is. The Property Brothers trying to renovate the White House ballroom while Melania's still trying to explain her Halloween decorations... 
.
.
It's like they're trying to turn the White House into a luxurious palace from a bad 80s rom-com. And can we talk about Donald Trump's moodboard featuring Putin and Jabba the Hutt? That's just pure genius 
. It's like, hello, that's not a joke! Anyway, can't wait to see what other shenanigans the Trumps get up to in their new forever home
