Much ado has been made about Donald Trump’s reported “executive time” which translated to his allegedly lying in bed, eating fast food, and watching Fox News. So probably speaking directly to the core of his base. Now Saturday Night Live is pulling back the bed curtains and showing us exactly what it’s probably like in the off-hours of the Trump administration.

In a Bobby Moynihan-less Fox and Friends, the hosts welcome the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farakkhan for some reason, then the Devin Nunes memo is brought up, with White House Communications Director Hope Hicks explaining that she’s gone from being a model to the White House communications director. But it’s not really a political job, it just feels “like when a group of strangers work together to push a beached whale into the sea.”
Hicks lays on the wink-wink, nudge nudge thick, because Fox and Friends are communicating directly with their number one fan in the White House during their broadcasts, which leads to the man, Trump, calling in with a breakfast sandwich on his chest like a proper leader of the free world.

This was Alec Baldwin’s first turn as Trump in weeks, so he, of course, had to bring up the State of the Union, which was absolutely watched by 10 billion people. “They say there are only seven billion people on earth, so where did the other three come from? Illegals. I don’t know,” he asks as the McMuffin rests gently on his silk pajamas. Then Baldwin-as-Trump says Paul Ryan told him that it was the best speech ever. Better than Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech.
It’s possibly very accurate.
