In a sketch simulating an awards ceremony organized by the White House, the Argentine leader was portrayed as an unconditional fan of Donald Trump. According to what Argentine News Agency learned, based on the NBC broadcast and a review in the newspaper La Nación, comedian of Cuban descent Marcello Hernandez was in charge of embodying the libertarian. Hernandez, mixing English and Spanish, defined Trump as "Leader, visionary, and the guy who, seriously, just threw me 20 billion dollars." The joke refers to the extraordinary disbursement that the US Treasury granted to Argentina in October 2025 to shield economic stability, an amount that was returned last January 9. The parody continued with excessive praise for the Republican leader: "All of this describes my best friend and the ideal owner of my body, Donald Trump," the fake Milei threw out. Upon opening the envelope for the "Best Foreign Language Film" award, he found it was empty, but he concluded: "He did include a check for another 10 billion dollars... This man is incredible, bro." The segment closed with the appearance of James Johnson, the actor who plays Trump, who snatched the award from his hands and dismissed him with a blunt "Goodbye, friend." Background on American television This is not the first time Milei has been the target of humor on SNL. With a mustache, presidential sash, and a marked Buenos Aires accent, the character took to the "Trump Awards" stage to present a trio. Previously, host Colin Jost had compared him to the Austin Powers character, showing a photo of both with dark glasses and quoting the phrase "If you make me horny, baby" after the leader's visit to Washington. "The guy who threw me 20 billion" The show's script directly pointed to the financial link between the two countries. Buenos Aires, January 25 (NA) -- The figure of President Javier Milei returned to the center of the scene on American television, this time as the protagonist of a new parody on the legendary comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL).
