Donald Trump bore the brunt of the “SNL U.K.” Weekend Update on Saturday, with co-hosts Paddy Young and Ania Magliano joking that the President had shat himself ahead of the White House Correspondents Dinner attack.

After describing the gunman’s storming of the Washington event as “an undeniably terrifying event,” Magliano delivered the punchline: “President Donald Trump shat himself” – and, she noted, “minutes later the shots rang out.” Young added that Melania Trump was swift to admonish anyone making light of the incident – “we’re real people,” she said, while “blinking sideways.”
