Actor Alec Baldwin said Friday that the “agony” of playing President Trump on “Saturday Night Live” would be worth it if he can help Trump get impeached.
“Agony though it may be, I’d like to hang in there for the impeachment hearings, the resignation speech, the farewell helicopter ride to Mara-A-Lago. You know. The Good Stuff. That we’ve all been waiting for,” Baldwin tweeted from his foundation’s account Friday morning.
“Looking forward to the Trump Presidential Library. A putting green. Recipes for chocolate cake. A live Twitter feed for visitors to post on. A little black book w the phone numbers of porn stars. You’re in and out in five minutes. Just like…” he added.

Baldwin’s tweets were a response to a tweet from Trump, who criticized the actor’s impression of him.
“Alec Baldwin, whose dying mediocre career was saved by his terrible impersonation of me on SNL, now says playing me was agony. Alec, it was agony for those who were forced to watch. Bring back Darrell Hammond, funnier and a far greater talent!” Trump wrote.
Baldwin took a final punch at Trump and told him to have first lady Melania Trump stop requesting tickets to his show.
“And Mr President… please ask your wife to stop calling me for SNL tickets. (Hey, Melania…we’ve got Charles Barkley this Saturday!” he wrote. “Signing off for now. On my way to shoot MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN and grateful to be working w Edward Norton, Cherry Jones, Willem Dafoe, Bruce Willis, Bobby Canavale, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael K Williams. If this is mediocrity, give me more.”

The back and forth began Thursday when Baldwin told the Hollywood Reporter playing Trump on the show was “agony.”
“Every time I do it now, it’s like agony. Agony. I can’t,” Baldwin said. “My wife and I agreed that we’re gonna give it everything we have [to help defeat Trump in 2020]. And then, if God forbid, he wins again in 2020, I’m wondering, can I host a game show in Spain?”
