Trump had [told an audience in Pennsylvania](https://www.apnews.com/d5f94492f7db48ee9d453679fdc7a0fe "undefined") on Wednesday that the U.S. was building a wall in Colorado, which does not share a border with Mexico. “We’re building a beautiful wall, a big one that really works, that you can’t get over, you can’t get under,” the real President had said. Trump supporters speaking on his behalf during the sketch included an ISIS member played by Pete Davidson promising that he will “make ISIS great again” and a conspiracy theorist played by Aidy Bryant who is convinced the earth is flat and Beyoncé is white. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, who Baldwin’s Trump remarks looks like a “scoop of ice cream melting into a suit” also makes an appearance, played by Kate McKinnon. So does Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who Baldwin says “got his ass owned by AOC, which means he’s one of us now.” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, played by Fred Armisen, also showed up, assuring the American President: “I’m still working on getting that dirt on Biden.” Watch the full cold open here: ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5711709/snl-cold-open-new-mexico-rally/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5711709/snl-cold-open-new-mexico-rally/"},"headline":"Saturday Night Live Holds a Trump New Mexico Rally Because He 'Heard They're Building a Wall' in Colorado","datePublished":"2019-10-27T16:22:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-24T07:39:05.413Z","description":"Mark Zuckerberg and Lindsey Graham also make an appearance","url":"https://time.com/5711709/snl-cold-open-new-mexico-rally/","keywords":["Saturday Night Live","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9e20dba79909c9af/698a04e94ee2620aad3167e6/snl-chance-episode.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sanya Mansoor","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sanya-mansoor/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9e20dba79909c9af/698a04e94ee2620aad3167e6/snl-chance-episode.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"SNL - season 45 episode","caption":"SNL - season 45 episode","creditText":"Rosalind O'Connor—NBC—NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/saturday-night-live/","name":"Saturday Night Live"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5711709/snl-cold-open-new-mexico-rally/","name":"Saturday Night Live Holds a Trump New Mexico Rally Because He 'Heard They're Building a Wall' in Colorado"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"President Trump Says Colorado Is Getting a Border Wall","description":"President Donald Trump’s boast of building part of the border wall in Colorado is garnering attention in the state, including from the state’s governor, Democrat Jared Polis.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/QXe09b2t/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-10-24T00:39:29.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/QXe09b2t.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5711709/snl-cold-open-new-mexico-rally/","duration":"PT28S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5711709/snl-cold-open-new-mexico-rally/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
