'I can't wait until Trump asks us to rape your people and send you back over the biggest damn wall we're going to build. Go back to hell, wet back.' After saying all of that, he threw the water in his cup in my face, gave me the middle finger, and ran off. It took every fiber of my being to hold my tongue and not chase him down.

... out Nightly News, another NBC show, on Twitter last December. Just watched @NBCNightly News – So biased, inaccurate and bad, point after point. Just can't get much worse, although @CNN is right up there. — Donald J. Trump (@real Donald Trump) December 12, 2016. Carrie Fisher passed away last month at the age of 60.

Snl’ Mocks Trump News Conference

... Let’s take another question from the press.”. “Yeah, I’m from Buzzfeed,” an actor says. “Not you, Buzzfeed,” Baldwin responds. “You’re a failing pile of garbage and you want to know why. “Because I took your quiz yesterday. And I’ll tell you right now, I’m not a ‘Joey,’ I’m a ‘Rachel,’” referring to the news outlet’s “Which ‘Friends’ Character Are You?” quiz. “Who else has a question? I love the press,” Baldwin’s Trump continues. “Yes, Jim Acosta, CNN,” another actor says. “No, not CNN either,” Baldwin responds. “You’re overrated. Fake news. I tried to watch your network last night — there was just some crazy blonde woman spouting lies.”. “That was Kellyanne Conway,” the fake Jim Acosta said, referring to one of Trump's top aides.

3 Sketches You Have To See

... never mind what happened this week. But it did what it could to cover as much ground as possible. Yes, there were a myriad of so-bad-they-ended-up-being-great puns about the supposed compromising footage of Trump in a Russian hotel. But the stronger material lay elsewhere, whether it be in Trump deflecting criticism of the dismantling of Obamacare ("Listen sweetheart: I'm about to be President. We're all gonna die.") or Cecily Strong's amazingly deadpan delivery as Trump's tax lawyer. It was reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson in the "Chandeliers" and "Marble Columns" sketches in terms of delivery, and Strong completely slayed in her brief time. With so much material, and with so much interest, and quite frankly with so much at stake, why wouldn't SNL spread out its analysis of the current socio-political landscape over an entire ...

This will be a golden opportunity for me as President to make a splash.”. Cecily Strong also deadpanned an impression of Trump’s lawyer to discuss his plans to divest from his business while Beck Bennett played a shirtless Vladimir Putin, impersonating CNN host Wolf Blitzer. Saturday night’s episode was the 2017 return of the sketch comedy show after the holidays. Trump responded in the middle of the Weekend Update on the Dec. 3 episode following Baldwin’s cold open that showed him retweeting teenage boys instead of paying attention to a ...
