Instead of Donald Trump, the newspaper mistakenly used actor Alec Baldwin‘s picture along with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for a news story on US-Israel relationship.
The latest impersonation saw Baldwin satirise the leader for saying “see you in court” after judges from a federal appeals court blocked his executive order to ban citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US.
But Michaels has admitted the show struggled with a take of President Barack Obama that resonated with audiences. “Alec Baldwin imitates Trump on one of the most important shows in the US”, said the note. These judges have been very disrespectful. Her Sessions said, “Elizabeth Warren came at me like a porcupine”. “I got a man elected president, I want my points”. Both bad. It’s not the outcome I wanted, but it’s history.
Then, as a character witness, he brought in Russian president Vladimir Putin (Beck Bennett), who praised the U.S. leader as “my little American Happy Meal”.
“He’s my little American Happy Meal”. He do anything for you.
The case, unsurprisingly, ended in favor of the judges, who threw out Trump’s case and accused him of “doing too much”. Baldwin also made sure to explain to the audience that his return to the Studio 8H stage was “big deal” in a black and white promo that revisited some of his more famous roles.
“I keep coming back to the same thing, which is he won, I thought he would have settled down [now] and relaxed”. “And no one has ever said that”.
Baldwin’s Trump demands a reinstatement of his travel ban, and in true TV court style, $725 in compensation from the judges who wronged him.
