Alec Baldwin Crushes Trump in Humiliating SNL Season Finale, ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now!’

The cold open for the 44th season finale of Saturday Night Live ended on a high note, with Alec Baldwin returning as an exuberant Donald Trump who belted out a song about his second term.

Before launching into a parody of Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” Baldwin’s Trump crowed: “I’m very excited about summer, getting in those things that I never have time for — golf, visiting friends in prison, and enjoying all the fantastic new tariffs.”

“It’s been an incredible year for our economy, it’s on fire,” he adds. “I’m on cruise control for a second term and there’s nothing the Democrats in Congress can do about it.”

Excited about the future, Baldwin’s Trump begins to sing “tonight, I’m gonna have myself a real good time.” He’s joined on the tune by SNL regulars Cecily Strong as first lady Melania Trump, Beck Bennett as Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Aidy Bryant as White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

The four sing “don’t stop him now.” Then suddenly a red, MAGA hat-wearing Kanye West, or in this case one of the cast remembers joins in.

But the party is briefly ruined by Robert De Niro as special counsel Robert Mueller.

“Wait a second. I have something very important to say to the American people. Something they need to hear,” De Niro says as he interrupts the celebration. But Baldwin cuts him off and yells, “no collusion!”

Once the party starts again, Trump’s sons crash the celebration and lament that they weren’t invited to come sing. Baldwin then pulls the plug on the party and says “Let’s wrap this up. The NBA finals are coming up and I need to invite the three white players over for McDonald’s.”

Baldwin ends by telling viewers “tune in next season to see who lives and who dies.”
