(SNL writers in an office, throwing ideas out)
Writer #1: I know -- I know! How about we do Trump as an orangutan? And he's trying to read a newspaper, but he's holding it upside-down!"
Writer #2: Sounds good! Where do we go with it?
Writer #1: I don't know. Maybe he scratches his ass?
Writer #3: And then he smells his finger!
Writer #1: Smells his finger! That's gold!
Writer #2: I got one! Trump shows up on a CNN interview, but with a Hitler moustache. And people keep looking at him, and he doesn't get it. "What? What are you looking at?" he keeps asking...
Writer #3: That's a good one, too!
Writer #2: Yeah! He's too dumb to know what he did!
Writer #1: Wait! I got it: CNN has a translator, who translates Trump into German!
Writer #2: Brilliant! Trump says his usual bullcrap, and then we see the subtitles of the German translation, explaining it in Nazi terms!
Writer #3: The translator could be dressed as a Nazi, too! That will really bring it home!
Writer #1: We gotta start writing this down...
(writers start furiously scribbling; moments later there is a knock at the door)
Writer #1: Come on in!
(Nazi-style Stormtroopers come in the room)
Stormtrooper Lead (German accent): We have had troubling reports of your writing...
Writer #1: We're just comedians! We just make fun of stuff, that's all!"
Stormtrooper Lead: So you find treason funny? That is an odd type of funny, herr writer...
Writer #2: We don't mean any harm, really! They're just jokes!
Stormtrooper Lead: Then tell me one of these funny jokes.
Writer #1: Uh... we have the President as an orangutan?
Stormtrooper Lead: And this is funny to you?
Writer #2: Well, he scratches his ass...
Writer #3: And then he smells his finger!
Stormtrooper Lead: And you are paid to come up with such things?
Writer #1: Well, yeah...
Stormtrooper Lead: Who is it that pays you for this... comedy?
Writer #3: Lorne Michaels! Lorne pays us! He's upstairs right now, I bet!
Stormtrooper Lead: I think we shall visit this... Lorne.
(Stormtroopers leave; writers wipe foreheads, etc)
Writer #3: That was CLOSE!
Writer #1: I know! I hope Lorne will be okay...
Writer #2: I have a bad feeling about this, guys: I mean, we turned Lorne over to the Stormtroopers. Without a fight, even.
Writer #3: Ah, Lorne will be okay: he handles things like this from the Network all the time...
(machine gun fire from above)
Writer #1: Maybe they're just trying to scare him, that's all...
(more machine gun fire from above)
Writer #3: I don't know about Lorne being scared, but I just wet myself...
Writer #1: Guys! Guys! We must stay strong! America needs our Humor, more than ever!
(more machine gun fire from above)
Writer #2: I don't know, I'm thinking Canada might need Humor, too...
Writer #1: I'll drive...
Writer #3: Your car is a Prius -- it will give us away for sure!
Writer #2: My car is a Ford -- I think we'll be safe...
Writer #1: Than k God SOMEONE here bought American...
(writers leave office; more machine gun fire)
I am Laslo.
