On Saturday Night Live's season premeire last night, the iconic show's cold open featured - who else? - "The Chaos President."
Clip description:
President Donald Trump (Alec Baldwin) speaks with Sarah Huckabee Sanders (Aidy Bryant), Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz (Melissa Villaseñor) of San Juan, Jeff Sessions (Kate McKinnon) and Senator Chuck Schumer (Alex Moffat).
Riffing on this week's news story, "Trump" takes a call from the "Mayor of San Juan" where he tells her: "You should have paid your bills. FEMA takes a few days unless you join FEMA Prime."
"Ma'am, I don't know if you know this, but you're in an island in the water the ocean water big ocean, with fishies and bubbles and turtles that bite. We want to help you, but we have to take care of America first."
Bonus clip: The "Weekend Update" segment also touched on the Puerto Rico debacle as anchor Michael Che reports on Trump's angst from being criticized on the glacial pace of hurricane relief.
Watch below.
