Alec Baldwin, who plays the part of President Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” said Monday he believes if he ran for president he could easily beat Trump.
“If I ran for President, would you vote for me?” Baldwin asked his more than 1 million Twitter followers. “I won’t ask you for any $. And I promise I will win. Beating Trump would be so easy. So easy. So easy.”
If I ran for President, would you vote for me?
I won’t ask you for any $.
And I promise I will win.
Beating Trump would be so easy.
So easy.
So easy.

With thousands of people replying with either calls for him to jump in the 2020 race or stay out, most were an emphatic “no” and Baldwin replied to his own tweet: “These tweets save me millions in polling.”
Baldwin has been a frequent critic of the president, telling voters they must “overthrow the government of Donald Trump” in the run-up to the 2018 midterm elections.
Trump posed the question on Twitter last month whether the Federal Election Commission and Federal Communications Commission should open an investigation into “SNL” over what he alleged was unfair treatment.
It’s truly incredible that shows like Saturday Night Live, not funny/no talent, can spend all of their time knocking the same person (me), over & over, without so much of a mention of “the other side.” Like an advertisement without consequences. Same with Late Night Shows……

….Should Federal Election Commission and/or FCC look into this? There must be Collusion with the Democrats and, of course, Russia! Such one sided media coverage, most of it Fake News. Hard to believe I won and am winning. Approval Rating 52%, 93% with Republicans. Sorry! #MAGA
