Alec Baldwin hosted Saturday Night Live for a 17th time last night and the audience got exactly what they were looking for. Baldwin brought his A game with Donald Trump impressions but perhaps the highlight of the night was a skit he did that featured “Trump People’s Court.” Baldwin appeared at last as Mr. Trump in a parody of “The People’s Court,” to which the president turns after an appeals court refused to reinstate his travel ban. A judge played by Cecily Strong asked him, “Mr. Trump, you understand this is a TV court, right?” He replied, “That’s O.K. I’m a TV president.”
The skit got stranger and funnier when Trump calls Russian President Vladimir Putin as a character witness. Putin was of course bare chested and in broken English testifies, “Lay off President Trump, O.K.? This man is a great friend. He’s my little American happy meal. He’d do anything for you. Go against his own country, just to make you happy.”
As he left the courtroom, Putin added, “See you at Mar-a-Lago, baby.” Here, see for yourself.
