Viewers were seeing double of Saturday Night Live host Miles Teller <\/a>when he portrayed twins Jonathan and Drew Scott \u2014 the stars of the hit HGTV show Property Brothers \u2014 during a skit of them helping President Donald Trump build his new White House ballroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis week we\u2019re taking on our biggest challenge yet: building the new White House ballroom,\u201d Teller\u2019s Drew says before James Austin Johnson\u2019s Trump joins them to ask, \u201cSo which one of you is married to New Girl and which one of you is the gay?<\/p>\n

More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/p>\n

Jonathan clarifies that he\u2019s married to Zooey Deschanel, who starred in the hit TV show, New Girl.<\/p>\n

He then provides background on their new construction project. \u201cDonald and Melania [Trump] moved into this house nine years ago. They were evicted for four years, but they moved back in,\u201d Jonathan says as Teller\u2019s Drew adds, \u201cDonald has a strong eye for interior design.\u201d<\/p>\n

The camera then cuts to Trump placing gold urns everywhere. \u201cThat makes me happy. It\u2019s very important to be happy these days. Really dark stuff happening in the world. Some of it me,\u201d Trump says.<\/p>\n

Even after replacing paintings in the historic building and paving\u00a0over\u00a0the grass in the\u00a0Rose Garden\u00a0with stone, Drew says, \u201cDonald and Melania still feel like something\u2019s missing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe house is only 55,000 square feet and 132 rooms,\u201d Chloe Fineman\u2019s Melania says before Trump chimes in, \u201cWe need more space, right, honey? We need more space.\u201d Melania adds, \u201cAnd we need a ballroom because, Donald, he loves to dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the budget for the White House ballroom, Jonathan says Trump told them that it was \u201cbetween $350 million and infinity.\u201d They also asked the president if he needed a permit for the construction.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald laughed really hard,\u201d Drew says of Trump\u2019s response as Jonathan adds, \u201cHe said, \u2018I could build this ballroom with the bones of my enemies and no one could stop me.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the ballroom, Johnson\u2019s Trump tells the Property Brothers that he also wants a ring for MMA fights on the White House lawn.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficial ones, but also casual fights in the backyard. You know what I\u2019m talking about? Two mentally ill guys just wailing on each other,\u201d he explains. \u201cWe can do bum fights again. Remember bum fights? We love bum fights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once demolition got underway, Jonathan updated that the entire East Wing was torn down in two days.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the government still shut down and so many workers furloughed, we were able to force park rangers and astronauts to do a lot of the demolition,\u201d Drew says before Jonathan adds, \u201cUnfortunately, the renovation hit a bit of a snag when Donald realized he had deported all the construction workers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in the end, we\u2019re confident the new ballroom will be a shining beacon of freedom for all Americans,\u201d Drew says.<\/p>\n

Although that\u2019s a bit questionable, as Johnson\u2019s Trump admits the ballroom will \u201cbe ready just in time for my third term.\u201d Melania notes that they \u201cwant this to be our forever home,\u201d with Trump adding, \u201cYes, because we\u2019re not leaving. We\u2019re gonna be doing something called coup.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the end of the SNL skit, the Property Brothers ask for payment for the construction work. But instead of paying Drew and Jonathan, Trump asks, \u201cAren\u2019t you guys from Canada?\u201d When the brothers confirm they are, the president then calls Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers on them.<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s Trump says, \u201cThere goes ICE. We like a bigot ICE.\u201d<\/p>\n
