I've never thought that Baldwin's Trump is all that great (and last night was no exception), but since it routinely makes Trump very angry, I'm fine with it

I agree. If anything that's probably why they keep him on. I do feel bad for Darrell Hammond though. He was the forefather of Trump impressions and still has yet to be topped.

Hammond's Trump was pretty solid, but I can definitely understand why Lorne Michaels replaced him going into the general election in 2016: he played Trump as a very broadly pitched cartoon, but Baldwin plays him as a specifically antagonistic cartoon villain, which is probably more desirable to audiences right now. I think Hammond is better at Trump's mannerisms and tics, whereas Baldwin captures what it feels like to hear Trump talk (and little else, if you ask me). It is possible/probable that Hammond getting replaced was inevitable, but I'd like to believe that if he'd modified the impression a little bit and played more into the character's shifts in perception during the campaign, he'd still be playing him.

That's an interesting way to look at it. I never really thought about that.

I guess my theory is that it all comes down to what the core of his image is. The joke about Trump has always been that he's such an over-the-top narcissist that he's already his own parody. But there's a difference in what most people want, and how that plays, when he's the host of a reality show versus the President of the United States.

(Of course, this doesn't change my mind that Hammond's Trump is all-around better than Baldwin's.)

I'm not going to lie, this might be his best and most creative tweet ever. Seriously, it makes me wonder if he even wrote it. I guess one out of every 87,239,675 are going to be that way.

It's a paradox, isn't it? The delivery of the tweet is too complex for me to believe Trump wrote it, but the underlying idea for the tweet is too dumb for me to believe anyone else did.
