SNL: Alec Baldwin Returns As Trump In Argentina

Alec Baldwin returns to Saturday Night Live as Donald Trump this week, standing on the balcony of the Park Hyatt in Buenos Aires. When Melania (Cecily Strong) comes out to see what’s wrong, she asks whether the problem is Argentina.

“I love Argentina,” he replies. “There are a bunch of old German guys who are really into what I’m saying there.”

It’s the Mueller investigation that’s keeping him awake.

Melania disappears, but Rudy Giuliani (Kate McKinnon) surprises Trump. “I was hanging upside down under the balcony,” explains the batty attorney.

When Rudy departs, offering little solace, Trump is still desperate. He dials Michael Cohen (Ben Stiller) who answers: “Michael Cohen. I’ll tell you anything you want.”

As they reminisce about good times past, Trump says he’s sorry Cohen is going to jail because “you were like a son to me.”

“Then why’d you make me do so much illegal stuff?”

“Because you were like a son to me. Goodbye Michael,” he barks and hangs up.

Putin (Beck Bennett) shows up along with his new BFF Mohamed bin Salman (Fred Armisen), who mock their patsy Trump. “You won’t be seeing me for a while, Donny,” sneers Putin. “I like presidents who don’t get indicted.”

The star-packed sketch concludes with Trump and the cast belting out a very special version of “Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

I’m absolutely double-positive it won’t surprise you to learn that America’s favorite poster-person for bluster, blowhardiness and bong-bouncy-bunk went on Fox News on Sunday and made a threat. Amazingly, she didn’t threaten to expose alleged corruption by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by quoting a Russian think-tank bot-factory known as Strategic Culture Foundation, as she did last November. Rather, the Congressperson from North Georgia made her eleventy-zillionth threat to oust the Speaker of the House from her own party, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), using the Motion to Vacate she filed last month. She told Fox viewers she wanted to return to her House district to “listen to voters” before acting, however.

Trump Campaign Gives Access To Far-Right Media But Shuns Mainstream Press

Trump campaign press pass brandished on air by QAnon podcaster Brenden Dilley

Trump's Hour On CNN Was A Profile In Cowardice

Vanity Fair recently reported that several journalists from mainstream publications, including The Washington Post, NBC News, Axios, and Vanity Fair, were denied press access to Trump’s campaign events, seemingly in retaliation for their previous critical coverage. Meanwhile, Media Matters found that the campaign has granted press credentials to the QAnon-promoting MG Show and Brenden Dilley, a podcaster who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory and leads a “meme team” that creates pro-Trump content.
