The season finale of "Saturday Night Live" began with a political cold open featuring James Austin Johnson's Trump palling around with Saudi Arabian Prime Minister and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud (Emil Wakim). "We've been having a lot of fun in the Middle East," Trump said, referring tohis last week's travels. He spoke about his trip, including discussing eating the local cuisine and admitting that he prefers to dine at the "Mobile McDonald's" — which is, of course, areal thing.

Trump also spoke about accepting the$400 millionAir Force One plane offered to him by Qatar, which he admitted, is "a pre-bribe," also noting that the foreign plane is much better, asking, "Have you seen what's going on withourplanes?" Trump finally laid it on thick near the end of the sketch, saying, "I love the Arabs! I love the Arabs! I don't want to go! Let me stay! Get me to Allah's country," a nod at Morgan Wallen's infamous post-'SNL'social media message. Trump then went into the audience to reflect on it being the season finale of "SNL," saying, "Season 50 — worst one yet!" "I'm here to break the fourth wall," he continued. "After tonight, you won't be seeing me here for a while — not the fake, fun version of me that makes you smile. See you again in the fall if we still have a country — it's a coin toss!"
