“I got what I wanted: someone else’s Nobel Prize,” he boasted, holding up a framed award with his name carelessly plastered over the original.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado handed her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump on Thursday, in an apparent attempt to curry favor as the United States tightens its control over the oil-rich South American nation.

Johnson’s Trump then boasted that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro had appeared in a sock and called the president’s capture on January 3 a “Santa Claus in reverse.”

Nodding to “Frankenstein” director Guillermo del Toro, Johnson introduced his “little cabinet of curiosities” and described the group as “various monsters and nightmares from the twisted mind of Guillermo del Trump.”

As Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Ashley Padilla took to the podium in all her glamor and a cowboy hat, in an attempt to downplay outrage over increased immigration enforcement in Minnesota.

“There have been clashes on both sides in Minneapolis. And have we been perfect? ​​Yes,” declared Padilla’s fake Noem, airbrushing operations that included the Jan. 7 killing of a woman by an ICE agent and widespread reports of excessive force.

“I know a lot of people watching the situation in Minnesota are wondering the same thing: ‘Can I join ICE?’” he added, before rattling off a brutal checklist.

“Is your neck wider than your head? Are you currently wearing a Punisher t-shirt? Have you ever punched a hole in the wall because your child took a dance class?” she asked. “If the answer is ‘yes,’ then grab a gun, any gun, and saddle up, boy.”

At the lectern was Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, played by a boisterous Colin Jost, strutting around holding a bottle of creatine in his hands.

Summarizing the administration’s military posture in the crudest way possible, Jost declared: “We went to Venezuela and how do you say? We gave tea bags to their country.”

“We’ve been rocking our C’s all over the world,” he continued. “We’re diving into Venezuela. Next, we’re going to attack Iran.”

“So remember, ‘F’ to America, ‘F’ you back,” she said, before recreating viral clips of the real secretary’s workout routine swinging a kettlebell back and forth with suggestive hip movements.
