'He's richer than me and he ADMITS to being bald': Alec Baldwin returns as Trump to explain why he hates Jeff Bezos in hilarious SNL cold open, and flies off script during 'freestylin' press conference to confess 'I don't care about America'
Alec Baldwin made his iconic return as Donald Trump for a charged Saturday Night Live that made fun of Fox News and the President's propensity to go off script during press conferences.
SNL opened the show with Leslie Jones playing Harris Faulkner, a Fox News host on a show called 'Outnumbered.'
'Outnumbered is the title of the show, and also how I feel here at Fox News,' said Jones before continuing on about how Obama should still be impeached and how viewers needed to be worried about 'Mexicans.'
The new found Fox Host then turned to Baldwin's Trump, who was having a joint press conference with leaders from Baltic countries.
'Let's make it quick, because I have a trade war to escalate, more tariffs on Chinese products' said the commander in chief.
'Before I turn over to these freakshows here, I just want to read a prepared statement to prove that I can read.'
While reading over his notes, Trump accidentally shares that he isn't supposed to 'congratulate Putin.'
'Time to freestyle,' he said pulling his usual stunt. 'First of all, a big congratulations to Vladimir Putin … even though no one's been tougher on Russia than I am, including Hitler.'
As Kate McKinnon, acting as President Dalia Grybauskaite of Lithuania, was trying to speak, a voiceover of Baldwin's Trump comes over.
'Wish I was watching Roseanne,' he says in the voiceover before trying not to get into the President's hair.
And when a reporter asks a question about Stormy Daniels, Trump deflects the question to Alex Moffat's President Raimonds Vejonis of Latvia.
'This whole presidency is a four-year cash grab and admitting that might get me four more years.'
Trump continues his onslaught of question dodging and deflecting, calls immigrants 'Mad Mexicans' and details the caravan making its way through Mexico as uf ut was a scene from 'Mad Max: Fury Road.'
But when asked about his policy's impact on America, Trump gets surprisingly honest for once.
'I am not worried at all, because here is the thing that no one else is saying and I'm the only one who's willing to actually say this, 'I don't care about America,'' Trump explained. 'Okay? This whole presidency is a four-year cash grab and admitting that will probably get me four more years, but I do not care about any of you. Okay? Basically, does that answer all of your questions?'
It was Baldwin's first time back as Trump since February 3 when Natalie Portman and Dua Lipa were on.
