‘SNL’s Trump Explains Picking Elon Musk, Matt Gaetz: ‘Alien vs. Predator’

Saturday Night Live‘s Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) sat down with President Joe Biden (Dana Carvey) and explained his reasoning for picking some of the most unqualified candidates for his cabinet and other positions in his forthcoming administration.

“Thanks for your advice, but I already know how to do president,” Trump told Biden, who had tried to articulate his thoughts on the job.

“It’s all about surrounding yourself with the best people, and I am very fastly picking the most epic cabinet of all time. They’re some of the most dynamic, free-thinking, animal-killing, sexually criminal, medically crazy people in the country,” Trump said, prompting Biden to ask for some examples.

“Well, we’ve got Elon and Matt Gaetz,” he told him. “That’s an alien versus predator.”

Musk, who has been named co-head of a made-up “department” on government efficiency, owns SpaceX and has a keen interest in “colonizing” Mars. Gaetz, meanwhile, allegedly had sex with a minor–a claim he has denied.

Gaetz (Sarah Sherman) explained his resignation from Congress after Trump announced him as his choice for attorney general.

“The confirmation process comes at the busiest time of year for me,” he said.

“The holidays?” Trump asked.

Gaetz replied: “Girls volleyball season.”
