Alec Baldwin Humiliates Trump in SNL ‘National Emergency’ Skit, ‘I Weigh 185 Pounds!’

Alec Baldwin was back on Saturday Night Live tonight imitating Trump’s “national emergency,” or lack thereof.

“I’m here to declare a very urgent, important national emergency,” Baldwin said right after stepping in front of the podium and a gaggle of reporters at a fake White House news conference.

Before offering details on his emergency declaration, he shared a bit of other breaking news.

“I just had a great health exam,” he said. He said he was 6’7″ tall and weighed 185 pounds…and that he was “shredded.”

He then broke yet more news — “Also, we have another summit coming up in Hanoi with the North Korean leader, Chairman Kim, who by the way is a very cruel and misunderstood guy.”

But quickly he was reminded of his mission by saying, “We need wall, OK?

“There’s a tremendous amount of drugs flowing into this country — from the southern border, or the ‘brown line’ as many people have asked me not to call it,” he continued. “Wall works. Wall make safe. You don’t have to be smart to understand that, and in fact it’s even easier to understand if you’re not that smart.”

During his monologue he also admitted to having to “fake” the national emergency; considered using the death penalty for non-violent crimes; and said he knew he would sign these papers, “immediately be sued, the ruling will not go in my favor and then I’ll end up in the Supreme Court, and then I’ll call my buddy Kavanaugh, and I’ll say it’s time to repay the Donny, and he’ll say, ‘New phone, who dis?’”

He later took some questions from cast members such as Cecily Strong and Mikey Day, who were playing reporters, even threatening to build a wall around one from CNN’s Jim Acosta (played by Kyle Mooney).

“Come on, doll, I’m learning,” was his answer to one political inquiry. “Let’s not forget, technically this is my first job, OK? I remember when Obama explained presidency to me in the Oval Office, and I won’t do the voice this time…but I thought Obama was joking. Had I known then what I know now, I would have told Putin to just give the job to Hillary instead.”
