“That’s okay,” said last night’s host, Alec Baldwin, in his only appearance as Trump throughout the whole episode. “I’m a TV President.” He continued with, “That’s okay judge. What do you call a lady judge, a flight attendant?””
Trump went on to explain his contested executive order: “I signed a travel ban — I didn’t read it, but I signed it. People took pictures of me holding up the paper — very official!” Not official enough, though. What was official was Trump breaking out into “Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?” while explaining the need for the travel ban. Because that feels like what actually happened in the Oval Office.
