Actor Alec Baldwin was back as Donald Trump on "Saturday Night Live" and mocked the President's policy on economy, health care and Syria strikes.
In a skit, Baldwin's Trump couldn't wait to find out what his supporters thought about his actions in Syria.
The voters, however, expressed concerns closer to home like losing their jobs, healthcare and houses.
"As president, I promise, I'll do everything I can do to make sure you people work in coal for the rest of your lives," Baldwin quipped.
In another sketch, Baldwin pulled a double duty as POTUS and Fox News anchor, Bill O'Reilly.
"I actually see a lot of myself in you, Bill. A hunch, just a loose hunch," Baldwin's Trump said, slyly referring to the FOX News anchor's sexual harassment scandal.
"SNL" also took on the controversial Pepsi ad starring Kendall Jenner from the director's point of view.
Beck Bennett played the director and writer of the commercial which was slammed for appropriating the resistance.
