Alec Baldwin revived his performance as Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live, and in this portrayal the actor pulled no punches.
The skit made sure to poke fun at Trump's latest feud with the cast of Hamilton.
As Mike Pence - played by Beck Bennett - greeted Baldwin's Trump, the future president asked him what he thought of Hamilton.
'It was good. I got a free lecture,' Pence replied.

'OK. Big plan, big plan. Google, "what is ISIS?" Oh, my. 59 million results ...' Trump says before grabbing his phone and shouting: 'SIRI? How do I kill ISIS?'
Trump also thanked Pence for having his back, saying: 'I love you, Mike. You're the reason I'll never be impeached.'
Earlier in the skit, Mitt Romney, played by Jason Sudeikis, was announced by a horrified and haunted-looking Kellyanne Conway, played by Kate McKinnon, and entered to an overwhelming applause.
Trump and Romney shook hands through an agonizing, awkward pause until Romney said: 'This isn't going to work, is it?'
'I don't think so,' Trump replied.
SNL also took jabs at Trump's real-life back-pedaling on campaign promises like repealing Obamacare, hiring a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton, and deporting millions of immigrants.
As Pence rattled off a list of the promises, Baldwin's Trump shouted 'scrapped!'
When Pence talked about how difficult it would be to deport millions of immigrants, Trump responded: 'Maybe let's not do it!'

Later, when a rural campaign worker says he's grateful Trump will bring back jobs and build a wall, Trump beings to panic over the cost $25 billion cost of the '2,000-American-mile' wall
'What about Obamacare? 20 million people use it, and I know it's crazy, but they actually like it,' Pence said to Trump.
Trump frantically replied: 'Keep it. Let's just keep it. All of it. No change.'
When Pence asked about a special prosecutor for Clinton, Trump said: 'Don't do it. She didn't do anything. SCRAPED.'
Before telling Pence to scrap all of Trump's major campaign promises, Trump met with a general and a local campaign manager from Virginia who asked about Trump's wall along the Mexican border and his 'secret' plan to defeat ISIS.

Earlier in the skit, Mitt Romney, played by Jason Sudeikis (pictured), endured a long, awkward handshake

Romney finally says: 'This isn't going to work, is it?' and Trump replied 'I don't think so,' before Romney leaves
'We're really looking forward to hearing (your plan to defeat ISIS). It's only seven weeks away, so let's save some lives together,' the general said to Trump.
As soon as the general left Trump ran to his computer, sat down and said: 'OK. Big plan, big plan. Google, "what is ISIS?" Oh, my. 59 million results ...' Trump said before grabbing his phone and shouting: 'SIRI? How do I kill ISIS?'

'$25 billion? It can't be that much. It's OK, Don. Hillary is still ahead in the polls,' Trump said, not seeming to understand Clinton is no longer in the race.
But by the end, Trump felt all was well with Pence by his side.
'Being president won't be easy, but we'll get through it if we work hard,' Pence told Trump.
Trump felt satisfied before asking: 'You're gonna do everything right?'

Trump also thanked Pence for having his back, saying: 'I love you, Mike. You're the reason I'll never be impeached'

The cast finally broke, turned to the camera and shouted: 'Live from New York it's Saturday night!'
Later in the show, a skit lampooned CNN, portraying the pundits like Kayleigh McEnany, Van Jones and Dana Bash on a panel hosted by Anderson Cooper.
As news of each new Trump scandal breaks, the pundits say the exact same phrases over and over until they all malfunction, revealing they're robots.
Technicians replace Cooper with CNN host Jake Tapper and the panel continues on with the same lines over and over again.

Later, during the Weekend Update segment, Michael Che and Jost discussed the latest cabinet appointments, mocked Trump for wanting to sleep in his 'big boy bed' in Trump Tower in New York and brought up the Hamilton fiasco again.
'Of course he was booed,' Jost said. 'He's a guy from Indiana who believes in gay conversion therapy. Visiting Broadway is how people from Indiana realize they're gay.'
On Saturday, the real Trump sent out several tweets to the cast of Hamilton, insulting them for their treatment of Pence.
'Very rude and insulting of Hamilton cast member to treat our great future V.P. Mike Pence to a theater lecture. Couldn’t even memorize lines!', Trump wrote.
Twitter seemed to enjoy Baldwin's reprisal as Trump, the CNN sketch and Weekend Update
It was his third tweet in response to Actor Brandon Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr in the smash-hit musical, and the rest of the cast pausing the curtain call to single out Pence in the Friday night audience.
Earlier he wrote, 'Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing,' Trump wrote. 'This should not happen!'
The second one, written at 5.56am, read: 'The Theater must always be a safe and special place. The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!'
Later on SNL, Pete Davidson also gave a monologue about how Staten Island voted for Donald Trump and how he planned to let out his anger over the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
Twitter seemed to enjoy Baldwin's reprisal as Trump, the CNN sketch and Weekend Update although some thought the show wasn't funny for mocking the president-elect.
'#SNL please don't ever stop the Trump skits. They are our lifeline...' one person wrote.
Another said: '"I love you Mike. You're the reason I'm never gonna get impeached." TOO REAL.'
'Alec Baldwins trump impression on SNL is the best thing,' another person tweeted.
But others were less than impressed, as one person tweeted: 'Wondering why I'm watching SNL. Unrelenting anti-Trump diatribe, nothing based on fact.'
