'Saturday Night Live': Alec Baldwin appears as Trump for first time since election
He's baaack.
On this week's "Saturday Night Live," Alec Baldwin reprised his role as Donald Trump for the first time since the businessman became president-elect.
In the show's cold open, Baldwin again teamed up with Kate McKinnon, who played Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager and senior adviser.
"Kellyanne, can I say something? I just want to thank you for all you've done. I wouldn't be president without you," Baldwin's Trump said.
"I think about that every day," replied a gloomy McKinnon as Conway.
A panicked Trump then had a near-meltdown after being asked about his "very secret" plan to fight ISIS.
"Google, what is ISIS?" Trump said before asking Siri how to "kill" the terror group.
The sketch also featured an awkward meeting with Jason Sudeikis as Mitt Romney.
"This isn't going to work, is it?" Sudeikis' Romney said after the pair shared a long, stilted handshake.
The cold open ended with a frazzled Trump asking Beck Bennett's Mike Pence how "Hamilton" was ("It was good; I got a free lecture") and chucking out all his campaign promises.
"We have a few problems," Pence said. "The Democrats are already pushing back on our Illegal Immigration Act because they say finding 11 million illegal immigrants is going to be hard. And then they say it's going to be even harder to deport them."

"So maybe let's not do it," Trump replied, telling Pence to "scrap it."
Trump's solution for Obamacare? "Let's just keep it." And appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton? "Scrap it. She didn't do anything. Scrapped!"
And Baldwin's Trump had a request for Pence.
"Mike, you're going to do everything, right?" he asked.
"Yes," replied Bennett as Pence.
