Donald Trump's character made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live, where he crashed a Pete Hegseth press conference and was awoken from a dream about New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
After Hegseth's character gave a presser in which he mocked the "nerds" and "dorks" in the media while clamoring for an alcoholic beverage, James Austin Johnson's Trump character appears on screen while sleeping. In his dreams, he says, "Stop, Mamdani. You can freeze my rent any time."
He then wakes up and says, "I wasn't sleeping. I'm very much awake. Now someone quickly tell me where am I, who am I, and what year it might it be."
