Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” mocked President Donald Trump’s gaudy White House bathroom renovation amid the government shutdown.

“Critics of President Trump are calling him tone deaf for posting pictures of his newly renovated White House bathroom during the government shutdown,” said host Michael Che. “But I’m happy the floor looks slippery.”

Trump this week posted a series of pictures of the renovated Lincoln bathroom.

“I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House,” Trump wrote on his rightwing site Truth Social. “It was renovated in the 1940s in an Art Deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era.”

SNL’s Update further mocked Trump this weekend, poking fun at his Halloween event at the White House and the fallout from the shutdown.
