Trump news live: SNL mocks Zelensky Oval Office showdown and makes fun of chainsaw-wielding Elon Musk
Saturday Night Live mercilessly mocked President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Oval Office showdown in its latest skit.
The cast also took shots at Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency – with alum Mike Myers playing the chainsaw-wielding tech mogul.
Fallout from Friday’s meeting between Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Zelensky continues after it devolved into an extraordinary shouting match in front of the press.
The meeting appeared to take a turn after the Ukrainian president pressed Vance on what he meant by Trump “engaging in diplomacy” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, underscoring the series of peace deals that he violated.
Both Trump and Vance then called Zelensky “disrespectful.”
Sources told the Guardian that officials are enraged that Zelensky didn’t take the advice given to him by senators to praise Trump and avoid discussing security guarantees, as the minerals deal was supposed to signal the U.S.’s commitment on security guarantees.
Meanwhile, Musk’s emails to federal workers demanding they justify what they accomplished last week continues to rile agency heads after a second email was sent out over the weekend.
The second email has received more pushback from department heads, according to the Washington Post.
