WATCH: SNL Tackles Trump’s ‘Unbiased, 100 Percent Accurate Health Assessment’

“The Tide Pod Challenge—Crushed. It.”

Aidy Bryant’s Sarah Huckabee Sanders returned to “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) this week to reintroduce “Dr. Ronny Jackson,” who announced Tuesday that he had “absolutely no concerns” about Donald Trump’s cognitive or mental ability in a lengthy presser.

In a nod to Donald Trump’s tweet on Saturday, Bryant began the sketch by “wishing everybody a happy Women’s March,” congratulating the “million women strong, out there to celebrate the president’s first kickass year in office” with a “we did it, girls!”

She then moved on to the government shutdown, now in its second day, taking on the president’s border wall. “President Trump maintains that any deal he signs must include a border wall, and he’s been consistent that it must be a solid, physical wall with some parts see-through, some parts fence, and some parts empty spaces that just operate on the honor system. And it will be paid for by Mexico with U.S. taxpayer money.”

This week, Trump claimed that the “wall is the wall; it has never changed or evolved from the first day I conceived of it.” It was a direct contradiction of his own Chief of Staff John Kelly, who had advised “the president has evolved in the way he has looked at things.”

Bryant subsequently pivoted to introducing “the most important news of the week,” which was the president’s physical exam. “I have again asked White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson to come out here and tell you about how not fat the president is.”

Cast member Beck Bennett joined Bryant as Jackson, advising that “once again, this is the president’s unbiased, 100 percent accurate health assessment.”

“At the time of examination, the president was 71 years and 7 months young, his resting heart rate was a cool 68 BPM, his weight a very svelte 239 pounds, he has a gorgeous 44-inch coke-bottle waist, and his height, 75 inches—with legs that, well seem to go on forever,” he continued. “Size 12 shoes, so you can fill in the blanks there. It’s my expert medical opinion that the president has a rockin’ bod, with an perfect amount of cushion for the pushin’. And if given the chance, I would.”

Watch the full skit below, which ends with “Huckabee Sanders” advising the president took the “Tide Pod challenge” and “crushed. It.”
