Fake Donald Trump returns to SNL, and the real one is not happy

Alec Baldwin returned to “Saturday Night Live” this weekend in his first post-election appearance, portraying President-elect Donald Trump as he grapples with his transition from candidate into head of state.

The cold open didn’t feature a bombastic Trump, but one slowly coming to terms with the reality of what the presidency entails. Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, played by Kate McKinnon, increasingly grows nauseated as she ushers in person after person to meet with the new president.

After Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, tells Trump how excited he is to hear about the “secret” plan to defeat the Islamic State, Trump turns to his laptop. “Okay, right, here we go. Here we go. Big plan. Big plan. Google, ‘What is ISIS?'” Trump says. “Oh my — 59 million results.”

He then picks up his phone: “Siri, how do I kill ISIS?” Turns out he was talking into a Blackberry.

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?

And I'm really not sure what that element is. But I know he's far out of it.
