Donald Trump News Conference Gets the ‘S.N.L.’ Treatment


Recreating another scene from the news conference, the “S.N.L.” cast member Cecily Strong appeared as Sheri A. Dillon, a tax lawyer for Mr. Trump who spoke at the actual news conference. In a low monotone, Ms. Strong motioned toward a large pile of official-looking papers in various folders that she said proved Mr. Trump was divesting from his companies. The “S.N.L.” sketch repeated Mr. Trump’s angry repudiation of the news media organization BuzzFeed, which he called “a failing pile of garbage.” (In the sketch, Mr. Baldwin said he was dissatisfied with the results of a BuzzFeed quiz. It was Meryl Streep.”Ever since Mr. Trump hosted the program in November 2015 while still vying for the Republican presidential nomination, he has made no secret of his dislike for how “Saturday Night Live” and Mr. Baldwin have portrayed him. After some sketches this season, Mr. Trump has gone on his Twitter account to air his grievances, writing, for example, that the show is “unwatchable,” “totally biased” and “not funny,” and that Mr. Baldwin’s impersonation of him “just can’t get any worse.”At other times, Mr. Trump has not responded to the show.
