A tweet from President Donald Trump saved a struggling family on Tuesday in the sit-com Roseanne.

The shows season finale featured a fictional state-of-emergency declaration from the president that bailed out the financially strapped Conners after a storm hit.

The president spelled Illinois wrong in his tweet, but it still counts, right? Darlene (Sara Gilbert) cracked.

The Conners money woes hit a crescendo in the finale because Dans (John Goodman) business was faltering (as a debate about him perhaps using undocumented workers flourished) and Roseanne (real-life Trump supporter Roseanne Barr ) needed knee surgery, according to several outlets . A previous episode revealed that Roseanne had become hooked on opioids to deal with the pain.

But just when it seemed their money woes would put them underwater, a storm hit to literally do the same.

But then came Trumps order. A Federal Emergency Management Agency payment, Dan figures, will fund the basement repairs because he can do them cheaper himself and pay the deductible for Roseannes knee surgery.

Trump the Conners hero.

There were a few surprises as well:
