Twin Miles Tellers Spoof ‘Property Brothers’ Tackling Trump’s White House East Wing Demolition & New Ballroom In Pre-Taped ‘SNL’ Sketch
Miles Teller pulled double-duty (in a way) by portraying twin brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott in a pre-taped Saturday Night Live sketch spoofing the Canadian reality TV series Property Brothers. This time, the two real estate property developers field the gargantuan task of having President Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) as a client.
But as the siblings attempt to navigate Trump’s increasingly difficult and outlandish requests, they must also deal with the simmering tension and resentment they feel toward each other.
The brothers begin by touring the premises, noting ironically that Trump has great taste, which the GOP leader attributes to his affinity for gauche golden urns.
Complimenting Melania Trump’s (Chloe Fineman) Halloween decorations of spiderwebs and spooky fixtures, the First Lady responds sardonically, “Those are for Christmas.”
Other changes include Trump replacing a painting of former POTUS FDR with himself as a soldier from Halo. Meanwhile, upcoming renovation requests include turning the grounds into what looks like “outdoor seating for an Olive Garden,” supplemented by a budget of “$350 million to infinity.”
As the brothers attest, Trump told them: “I can build this ballroom with the bones of my enemies, and no one would know.”
For his inspiration, Trump points to a mood board that includes, among other images, photos of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Star Wars‘ powerful gangster Jabba the Hutt.
Other reno plans include installing an MMA ring for “two mentally ill guys just wailing on each other.”
After Trump responds to a text with a gif of the White House exploding, the brothers can commence with the East Wing demolition. However, due to the government shutdown and having deported all day laborers, they “force Park Rangers” to carry out the operation.
“We want this to be our forever home,” Melania says, as Trump adds, “We’re gonna be doing this thing called coup.”
As the sketch concludes, the brothers ask for payment, at which point Trump responds with calling ICE as the sibling duo originate from Canada.
