Melania is the only one who gets a happy ending here.
Donald Trump claimed he isn't "aroused at anybody" while on a call to a New York Times reporter after Robert Mueller's investigation closed in on his former campaign adviser Paul Manafort and former aide George Papadopoulos. But as played by Alec Baldwin in the opening sketch of "Saturday Night Live," he's not aroused; he's a man resigned to pushing all his pawns into a "foolproof blueprint" (which he admits he may still fumble) to avoid taking the topple.
He explains the strategy to Manafort (played by Alex Moffat)—in the shower, to make sure Manafort's not wearing a wire, or "Gone Girl-style." All he asks is that Manafort "recede to prison for a very,very, very long time, or in return,I still catch to be president, which I hate, and but I'm too proud to quit." Cue Beck Bennett as Mike Pence,waiting in the wings to help Manafort scrub his back. (Thankfully we don't catch a vision of Pence as president here, as Trump vows to bring him down with them.)Kate McKinnon, and in perhaps her best-received impression of Attorney General Jeff Sessions yet,conspires with Baldwin's Trump. But ultimately, Sessions grants, and "We should all catch used to wearing stripes."And Melania (played by Cecily Strong)? She's doing just worthy during all this,as Trump place an Airplane autopilot-style dummy of himself on the plane from Hawaii to Asia with her. She admires how "dignified" and presidential and even muscular the inflatable Donald is compared to the real thing. The implication: We might all be better off whether the dummy goes to Asia.
Minimal props recede to NBC for belatedly addressing "what an idiot that Harvey Weinstein is." As Baldwin's Trump puts it, though, or "He could have gotten absent with all of it,whether only he'd gotten himself elected president."Watch below: Related StoriesDonald Trump's Financial Ties to Russian Oligarchs and Mobsters Detailed In Explosive New Documentary from the Netherlands'Saturday Night Live' Tweaks a Certain Kind of Trump Protester in New ShortWatch Video: Brave New Films Highlights Trump’s Inhumane and Needless Deportation Policy
