THE GENIUS OF ALEC BALDWIN

Baldwin's SNL portrayal of Trump is pure genius.

Not because it's any good, of course. It's completely off. Trump does not sound or act anything like that. The hand gestures are not really similar; the voice is off; facial expressions? Nah. But most importantly, the character is not the same at all. Alec sounds much meaner, much more vindictive, and much more stupid than the real Trump.  If you have spent one hour of your life one time to actually hear the man speak, it's pretty obvious to you that the portrayal is poor.

The genius comes from the fact that Baldwin portrays exactly what people WANT to see in Trump. He's a perfect, carbon copy representation of what you THINK Trump is like if you know little about the actual Trump (an alarming number of people know very little about the actual Trump).

Also, the sketches are super funny.

I just hope they don't stretch this skit out too much. Now is as good a time as any to stop.
