And this is how they did it: Trump, played by Taran Killam, broadcast a message to the American public, alongside wife Melania (played by Cecily Strong) from the couple’s “humble gold house,” designed by “the same decorator used by Saddam Hussein.” It was a message of unity, strength and big ideas, to correct “the lies” all the “losers” were putting out there.
