Alec Baldwin's back at SNL to skewer Trump's bizarre meeting with Kanye West

Alec Baldwin reprised his role as Saturday Night Live's President Trump with a cold open taking on — what else? — the president's strange Thursday meeting with Kanye West.

A recent SNL guest, West did most of the writers' work for them, telling Trump that wearing a Make America Great Again hat gives him "power" and makes him "feel like Superman," and that Air Force One deserves some updates because the president's plane should be "the flyest."

SNL's West (Chris Redd) said pretty much the same thing, and Trump, in voiceover thoughts, soon realized the whole wild man schtick felt familiar. "[West] doesn't stop. He doesn't listen to anyone but himself," he muses. "Who does he remind me of? Oh my god, he's black me!" Watch the full sketch below. Bonnie Kristian
