SNL Skit: Donald Trump Hosts a Tiny GOP Debate

Posted on December 11, 2011

Saturday Night Live brought back Darrell Hammond to skewer Donald Trump who is determined to moderate a GOP debate (even though he still may run for president). It ended up being a two man debate, after every other GOP candidate declined to attend. Greta Van Susteren (Kristen Wiig) held the tiny debate on her show. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum (Andy Samberg) attended, but neither got to say a word because narcissistic windbag Trump wouldn't shut up.

Trump said he was qualified to host the debate because he's worth $7 billion, his show The Apprentice has 5 billion viewers and his hot wife Melania is 38 years younger than he is.

He did talk foreign policy, saying "I'll tell you what I would do Greta. I'd get the Iranians, the Chinese and the leaders of OPEC together in a room - not at the White House, but at my house in Florida, Mar-a-Lago. Again: 90,000 square feet. Greta, trust me. They would be so disoriented by its square-footage, they would be at a disadvantage. And then I would read them the riot act and tell them to cut out all this BS."
