Saturday Night Live parodied Donald Trump having what they called 'gay dementia' amid the return of Tom Hanks as David Pumpkins for the show's Halloween episode.
The President, as always, was played by comic James Austin Johnson, who interrupted the cult favorite Pumpkins sketch soon after Hanks and returning favorites Bobby Moynihan and Mikey Day appeared.
When the Pumpkins character was asked why he was appearing, Johnson as Trump showed up and exclaimed: 'Midterms! Boo!'
'It's me, Donald Trump, your one true god, pausing SNL skit yet again,' he joked, before mocking bringing back the Pumpkins sketch.
'You know, I actually have a lot in common with Mr Pumpkins: we both appeared in 2016, we're both very loud, very orange and very, frankly, annoying!'
Johnson then mused on Trump's habits while on the campaign trail, including his recent fixation with some Republican candidates' backsides.
'That's something I've been doing lately, admiring men's a**es. Not that there's anything wrong with it, just that I might be gay.'
'They're calling it gay dementia. Dementia, short for "the men should show me their butts,"' he quipped in character.

He then riffed on Trump 'making odd noises' during speeches.

'Remember that? What the hell was that? Probably soul trying to leave body,' he said before joking that the noises were fine 'if you were cool with the Epstein stuff.'
The Trump character then lamented the state of the polls ahead of the midterms before parodying Trump's hand bruises.
'They're saying Texas is turning purple, just like my hand. If it goes blue, then just like my hand, I will leave it for dead.'
The sketch finished with parodies of Nicki Minaj - a recent campaign surrogate of Trump's who some have suggested should become White House Press Secretary - and recent Press Secretary Katie Zacharia.
The Trump character pointed out that he also had admired Minaj's backside, before saying: 'She's got quite an a**, if only it were on a man, perhaps then I could admire it.'
Before leaving, he joked that people had to vote Republican, or else the Democrats will do 'absolutely nothing, just like the last time.'
Trump has raised eyebrows with a number of suggestive remarks about Republican candidates and their physiques in recent weeks, as the president has taken to the campaign trail in the final weeks before the midterm elections.

Trump has raised eyebrows with a number of suggestive remarks about Republican candidates and their physiques in recent weeks, including complimenting Ohio Senator Jon Husted for his 'great a**' at two campaign events

Trump first went on a bizarre rant about Ohio Senator Jon Husted's body, where the president said he had been 'studying' his behind.
In Trump's complimentary rants about Husted, the president told an Ohio rally last week that he was dazzled by the former college football player's physique.
'I'm standing over here, and I don't do this with men very often... I started examining his body because I didn't know he was a great athlete,' Trump said.
'And I looked, and I watched up and down. I looked at his a** and I looked at the whole, and then I looked at his hands. Look at his hands. He's got these, like, claws. And I got it. You are a great athlete.'
Trump then followed that again on Tuesday with another speech about Husted's looks, this time at an event in North Carolina.
He told a crowd that he had been 'studying (Husted's) body,' and described it as 'like a piece of steel.'
'I looked at his a**, and then I looked at his legs. I said, "His a**, sh*t, it's like, it's like a pile of muscle,"' Trump said. 'I tapped him on the shoulder, and it actually hurt my hand. He's like a piece of steel. I said, "This guy's a monster!"'
Although Trump told the crowd that it was 'not my thing' to compliment other men, Trump has gushed over men's looks frequently on the trail.
'By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful a** before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss. Stand up. That's hard to miss,' Trump said at a Michigan rally with Minaj in attendance
'Well, maybe I should be upset he didn't talk about my asset,' Republican Senator Ashley Moody said of Trump at his Friday rally in Florida
This included branding GOP gubernatorial candidate in Georgia Rick Jackson a 'very handsome, distinguished, beautiful-looking guy.'
He also described Republican Senator Tim Sheehy as a 'handsome guy,' Kentucky Republican congressional nominee Ed Gallrein as 'beautiful,' and Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker as a 'good-looking sucker.'
For some gender balance, he later complimented Minaj for the same thing.
'By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful a** before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss. Stand up. That's hard to miss,' Trump said at a Michigan rally with Minaj in attendance.
She stood up, waved and went along with the president's commentary about her rear-end.
It spread so far, Republican Senator Ashley Moody of Florida wonders why President Donald Trump didn't praise her 'asset' like he did with Minaj.
Speaking Friday evening at the president's rally in Daytona Beach, Florida, the lawmaker recounted questions she got about Trump recently complimenting the rapper's 'beautiful a**.'
'What do you think about the president talking about Nicki Minaj's asset? Really? I mean, Byron and I don't even know what to say,' Moody told the crowd, naming GOP gubernatorial candidate Congressman Byron Donalds, who was also at the rally.
'Byron's probably like, I'm just glad he didn't ask about my asset. I mean, we were the only two on the stage with the president.'
She continued: 'Well, maybe I should be upset he didn't talk about my asset.'
The commentary has stirred controversy online, with Democratic lawmakers attacking the president's behavior as unbecoming of the office.
The president has repeatedly opted to travel to Republican strongholds this midterm cycle while snubbing battleground areas less densely populated by MAGA supporters.
The president spent most of his Saturday morning at his golf club near his Florida home before scheduled appearances at five tele-rallies.
He will travel to Iowa and Kansas on Sunday for what are expected to be his last in-person rallies.
Trump is scheduled to hold tele-rallies on Monday and Election Day, where he is expected to be in Washington.
