SNL's Trump said he 'was going to run this country like a business. That business is a Waffle House at 2 a.m.'

Alec Baldwin returned to Saturday Night Live as President Trump this week to talk mental health — "which I have so much of; I have one of the healthiest mentals" — and his many opinions on gun control.

"No one loves the Second Amendment and due process more than me," he said, flanked by Vice President Mike Pence (Beck Bennett) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Cecily Strong), "but maybe we just take everyone's guns away, okay? Nobody is allowed to have a gun, not even the whites." A couple sentences later, however, Trump remembered his deep-pocketed friends at the NRA and assured Pence nothing will change.

SNL's Trump also addressed the competition America faces from countries like China and Wakanda, and he explained that the chaos and turnover in his White House actually fulfills a campaign promise. "I said I was going to run this country like a business," he said. "That business is a Waffle House at 2 a.m."
