‘SNL’ brings back Alec Baldwin as Trump to take on supporters and the border wallBaldwin shows a map of the U.S. (well sort of), divided into odd parts like ‘Good America,’ ‘Lakes?’ and ‘Bad Mexico.’ ‘Chicago (Hell)’ is listed on … Pathetic. They mocked Trump on his stance on ISIS while Trump helped to destroy ISIS's leader. SNL is pure trash Pathetic, lame show. So Trump is not supposed to protect the borders he was elected to defend but MUST drop bombs 💣 to defend the borders of people in the Middle East.

The latest: Trump watched ISIS raid, likens it to seeing movieThe latest on Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State group who was killed in a U.S. military raid in Syria, according to U.S. President Donald Trump. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren still have NOT tweeted celebrating the killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. They are all figuring out how to frame it as bad news for President Trump. They literally hate America. It's OK, you can report that Trump accomplished something great. Greatest! Biggest! Hey funny I thought he would say hey hat before he opened his mouth this morning
