Will Ferrell stopped by Saturday Night Live to reprise his role as former President George W. Bush. He announced he was getting in the Republican presidential race before slamming Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP field.

"I'll tell ya something, whenever I get in a bad mood, I just picture his big fat orange Oompa Loompa face and I just piss my pants."

Ferrell's Bush also had a pretty clear message for Ben Carson: "Running the country is not brain surgery."
