Baldwin’s back… and it’s not even offensive at this point. It’s just lame.
So. Freaking. Lame.
Alec Baldwin reprised his role as President Trump on Saturday Night Live, as the cold open featured him covering everything from the State of the Union to the controversial release of the FBI memo.
NBC’s skit show, hosted this week by Natalie Portman, also included a special appearance in the cold open by Cecily Strong’s version of Hope Hicks, White House Communications Director, in the cold open.
Strong did double duty later in the show, showing up as Melania Trump, in a skit about her preparation before attending the SOTU amidst the real-rumors that the President had an affair in 2006 with adult actor Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
But yeah. First they made sure to SHRED Hope Hicks as a completely unqualified idiot, because that’s how liberals work. It’s ALWAYS open season on conservative women.
First off, the three shared a quick scene parodying Hicks, who in real life used to work for Ivanka Trump’s clothing company.
The three asked the character how it felt to make what many might think is a strange transition to working in the government, and at such a young age. (Hicks is 29, and apparently started working for Ivanka Trump’s clothing company at 26.)
‘There are no real jobs here, you know? Every day feels like when a group of strangers work together to push a beached whale back into the sea,’ Strong’s Hicks said.

She’s the GOSSIP GIRL OF THE WHITE HOUSE, guys.
Why, because she’s pretty?
Good job, SNL.
Then a VIP call came in, and the three had an incredibly eager chat that Baldwin’s Trump, who was dressed in pajamas as he spoke highly of himself.
At first, he had what looked like an English muffin or a cheeseburger in hand, and pretended to take a quick bite, while tweeting and talking.
‘Right now I’m getting my daily intelligence briefing,’ Baldwin’s Trump told the trio.
Playing up their scripted surprise, the characters asked, ‘From who?’
‘From you guys,’ Baldwin’s character responded.
Baldwin’s Trump bragged to the parody panel about how his ratings for the SOTU supposedly beat out the Fox News show.
‘[It] was watched by 10 billion people,’ Baldwin’s Trump said, talking about the speech.
‘A lot of people are saying, even Paul Ryan, that it was better than Martin Luther King’s I Have a Dream of Jeanie speech.’
“I Have a Dream of Jeanie” you know. Because RACIST TRUMP probably has noooo idea who MLK is, right?!
Uuuuughhhhhhh. I mean, is this even funny to anyone? Seriously. Do libs think this is funny? It’s just old and stupid.
It’s the same misogynist “conservative women are bimbos” and “Trump is fat and stupid” jokes over and over and over again.
AT LEAST get some new material, folks.
