Alec Baldwin claims Melania loves his Donald Trump impersonation on SNL

Apparently, the First Lady thinks 'that’s exactly what he’s like'

Alec Baldwin has been playing Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live for over a year, winning many high-profile fans.

While the President openly despises the impression — Tweeting as much multiple times — the First Lady is apparently an avid fan.

“Someone told me, who’s friends with someone in the White House or formerly in the White House, that Melania Trump loves SNL and she loves my impersonation,” Baldwin said during an interview on WNYC radio.

That high-profile informant also informed Baldwin that Melania thinks “that’s exactly what he’s like.” Baldwin added: “Apparently, Trump is horrified and besides himself that his wife actually thinks that’s funny.”

The White House immediately retorted the claims, for the First Lady’s director of communications saying: “That is not true, which is why Mr. Baldwin has no actual names to go with his bizarre assertion.”

Baldwin has made similar claims before, once saying an unnamed cabinet member complimented him on the impersonation.

The actor said at the time: “He goes, 'I'll get fired if anybody quoted me saying this, but that's exactly what he's like when you do it.’ “

Over the weekend, SNL caused some controversy as host Larry David made jokes about the Holocaust, causing some upset online.
