Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update mocked Donald Trump‘s obsession with Greenland by comparing his demand to acquire it to a creepy guy on a dating app.
Trump, who at times threatened a military invasion and tariffs on European countries until he got what he wanted, ultimately backed down this week, announcing a framework for a lesser deal.
“President Trump has spent so much time stalking Greenland like an absolute psycho, he’s basically become a guy on a dating app,” co-anchor Colin Jost joked. “He’s like, ‘Hey Greenland, you look so good.’ And Greenland’s like, ‘Haha thanks.’ And Trump’s like, ‘Seriously, I need you. I’d literally give 700 billion dollars to be with you.’”
Colin added that after Greenland replied, “not trying be mean, but I’m not interested,” Trump grew irate: “I’ll kill you, you ugly b—h.”
Michael Che also made fun of Trump for caving on his tariff-related demands.
Trump backed down, Che joked, “after consulting his most trusted advisor: the stocks app.”
Also in the segment, Che addressed the latest fatal shooting in Minneapolis by a federal immigration agent.
“I get that ICE agents are people, allegedly, and they have a job to do,” Che said, “but at some point while you’re pepper-spraying old ladies or shooting at a nurse, you ever stop and ask yourself, ‘Are we dicks?’”
Che also called out Vice President JD Vance for saying that anti-ICE protesters should just write op-eds or debate on social media rather than take to the streets—”You know, just like these young scholars did on Jan. 6,” he joked.
