Shane Gillis Impersonates Trump in ‘White Men Can Trump’ Faux Movie Trailer on ‘SNL’

Comedian Shane Gillis showcased his renowned impression of former president Donald Trump on the latest episode of ‘Saturday Night Live’ in a humorous faux movie trailer.

The spoof trailer titled ‘White Men Can Trump‘ humorously targets the former president’s new line of high-priced speakers.

In the trailer, Gillis’ character gains a magical pair of Donald Trump’s expensive gold high-top sneakers, valued at $399, which leads to a series of amusing scenarios where his life suddenly improves through Trump’s signature gaslighting tactics.

Gillis’ character, empowered by the sneakers, convinces people of his basketball skills even when he isn’t making any baskets, showcasing a comical take on the power of persuasion.

The comedian’s character expertly uses the shoes to secure a larger office, manipulate his weight on a scale, and impress a woman in the bedroom, all through Trump-like deception.

The sketch also features appearances from ‘SNL‘ cast members James Austin Johnson portraying Trump and Mikey Day as a character who receives Biden sneakers, aging rapidly and losing his athletic abilities.

The trailer pokes fun at various sports fantasies, indicating it is a creation from Newsmax Studios and the writer of ‘Like Mike‘, promising another entertaining sneaker movie for white audiences.

Shane Gillis returned to ‘Saturday Night Live’ for the first time since his brief tenure on the show ended abruptly in 2019 following a controversy surrounding intolerant remarks.

During his monologue, Gillis addressed the scandal that led to his dismissal from ‘SNL’ with candor and humor, setting a lighthearted tone for his performance.

The faux movie trailer segment served as a platform for Gillis to showcase his comedic talents, engaging the audience with his spot-on impersonation of the polarizing former president.
