Alec Baldwin Defends Playing Donald Trump in 'Saturday Night Live' Season Premiere After Backlash
Alec Baldwin is addressing some online backlash for his portrayal of President Donald Trump. The actor reprised his impersonation of Trump for season 46 premiere.Following Baldwin's performance as Trump — who was recently diagnosed with COVID-19, along with First Lady Melania Trump — Baldwin was met with criticism from many conservatives for making fun of the president's illness.«If there was ever the suggestion that Trump was truly, gravely ill, and people said, 'Trump is really in trouble,' then I would bet you everything I have that we wouldn't even get near that, in terms of content of the show,» Baldwin said in a lengthy video he shared on Sunday.
