In a pseudo-political storyline, interior designer Grace (Debra Messing) considers taking on a job redecorating the Oval Office for its new occupant, and that was far from the only joke to target President Trump (Karen — played by Megan Mullally — is friends with Donald and Melania), including a slapstick sight gag involving the president’s skin tone and a bag of Cheetos.
