James Austin Johnson returned as Trump, joined by Mikey Day’s chilling Stephen Miller. The sketch wasted no time rolling out a string of nonsensical but razor-sharp executive orders that turned reality into farce.
Trump declared himself the new Pope, pardoned author J.K. Rowling for being “canceled,” and claimed to have deported Elmo for having “suspiciously red fur.” These moments, while exaggerated, satirized real-life political absurdities and culture war flashpoints.
Key Highlights from the SNL Trump 100 Days Sketch

Other punchlines included Trump taking credit for ending COVID-19 “by ignoring it,” and launching a new social platform “Truthier Social.”
