Actor Alec Baldwin responded to a late-night tweet by President-elect Donald Trump that criticized the player's latest performance on Saturday Night Live, asking that the New York businessman release his tax returns if he wanted some comic relief.
This week, Baldwin-as-Trump repeatedly interrupted his latest national security briefing by announcing each time he retweeted a random citizen, apparently basing the act off real retweets Trump made while on the campaign trail.
'Aides' played by Kenan Thompson and Alex Moffat were seen attempting to focus the 'president-elect' on foreign intelligence, while Kate McKinnon's 'Kellyanne Conway' sat beside 'Trump', visibly and verbally exasperated at each interruption.
A short time after the skit ended, the real Trump slammed Baldwin's act as "unwatchable":
Baldwin later responded on his foundation's Twitter feed, demanding his fellow New Yorker release his tax returns if he wanted to see the actor take off his blond wig and makeup for good.
Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad
The New York Daily News reported that one of the voters Trump (and Baldwin) had retweeted recognized his message during the show and agreed with the president-elect that Baldwin's skit was indeed "unfunny".
Just saw the intro that @nbcsnl mentioned me in - totally unfunny, and biased -- Sad! The @AlecBaldwin impersonation is incredibly stale.
Trump has not yet responded to Baldwin's offer.
