Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump on SNL

Alec Baldwin returned to Saturday Night Live as President Trump this week to talk mental health — "which I have so much of; I have one of the healthiest mentals" — and his many opinions on gun control.

Dianne Feinstein (Cecily Strong), "but maybe we just take everyone's guns away, okay? Nobody is allowed to have a gun, not even the whites." A couple sentences later, however, Trump remembered his deep-pocketed friends at the NRA and assured Pence nothing will change.
