- Saturday Night Live aired the segment on January 25, presenting a mock awards show dubbed the Trump Awards.
- Marcello Hernández portrayed Milei in Spanish with a porteño accent, while James Austin Johnson played Trump.
- The script referenced the U.S. Treasury’s reported US$20 billion line to Argentina in October 2025 and its repayment on January 9, 2026.
- The bit added a gag about a fictional extra US$10 billion check before Trump’s character seized the trophy with “Adiós, amigo.”
