The nature of satirical writing is that some people will love the joke, and others will take issue with it, and Saturday Night Live is no exception. While some fans love their parodies of popular shows, songs, current events, and politics, others are much more critical.
But no matter how popular the show is, even the SNL writers are bound to go too far sometimes.
The cast recently performed a sketch of White Lotus, which follows a group of star-studded individuals eager to act out their greatest impulses and frivolities at the White Lotus resort. Its current season features Aimee Lou Wood as Chelsea, Patrick Schwarzenegger as Saxon, and Jason Isaacs as Timothy, among others.
The sketch, “White POTUS,” followed the Trump family during their time at the resort, with SNL cast members portraying some of the current White Lotus cast.
The focus remained on the Trump family until “Melania” mentioned Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and then it switched to a scene with him and Sarah Sherman, who portrayed Aimee Lou Wood’s Chelsea—with fake teeth and overly pronounced eyes.

I think it was a fantastic satire…. until the mocking of Aimee/Chelsea.
