Fresh from calling on the cast of 'Hamilton' to apologize, president-elect Donald Trump returned to Twitter Sunday morning to offer his thoughts on the return of Alec Baldwin to 'Saturday Night Live."
"I watched parts of @nbcsnl Saturday Night Live last night. It is a totally one-sided, biased show �� nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?" Trump said.
It was not the first time Trump has taken to Twitter to criticize the show. In October, he called the show a "hit job" against his candidacy and claimed it was part of a media conspiracy that was "rigging" the election for his opponent, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Baldwin replied in a series of tweets on Sunday morning. Among them he said: "Equal time? Election is over. There is no more equal time. Now u try 2 b Pres + ppl respond. That's pretty much it."
Baldwin reprised his role as Trump Saturday night, but played Trump as a president-in-waiting so wracked with anxiousness and uncertainty that he resorts to chanting a mantra about women and buildings just to calm himself down.
We see Baldwin's Trump faced with the difficulties of living up to his campaign promises. He's overwhelmed when 59 million results come up after Googling, "What is ISIS?" He's shocked when a coal miner reminds him about his promise to bring back every mine job. And he's dismayed when he realizes the wall he plans to build on our southern border with Mexico would cost $25 billion.
"Don't worry Donald, it'll be OK," Baldwin's Trump tells himself. "Hillary's still ahead in the polls."
We also see Baldwin's Trump meet with Mitt Romney, played by former "SNL" cast member Jason Sudeikis, who played the former Massachusetts governor on the show during the 2012 campaign.
The real Romney met with Trump for over an hour on Saturday at the president-elect's North Jersey golf course. Trump said the meeting "went great," but it's unclear whether he offered Romney the position of secretary of state in his administration.
On "SNL," the fictional meet-up ended immediately after a long, awkward handshake.
"This isn't going to work, is it?" Sudeikis' Romney asks before leaving the room, causing Baldwin's Trump to resume confronting his unrealistic pre-election promises.
When asked about his plan to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, he tells vice president-elect Mike Pence, played by cast member Beck Bennett, to "scrap it." With 20 million people using Obamacare, Baldin's Trump suggests, "Let's just keep it." And he's even willing to drop his pledge to hire a special prosecutor to put Hillary Clinton in jail.
"Scrap it. She didn't do anything," Baldwin's Trump says. "Scraaapped!"
Playing off the news that the cast of "Hamilton" offered him a post-show message, Bennett's Pence said he received a "free lecture" while attending the hit Broadway show and confirmed that he was booed by many people in the crowd.
"I love you Mike. You're the reason I'm never going to get impeached," Baldwin's Trump says.
It's unclear how often Baldwin will return to "SNL" to play Trump. Before the election, he expressed hope that it would soon be over. But with Trump's victory, he says he'll continue the character "every now and then."
