People love Alec Baldwin. He’s great. He has the best words. Baldwin is terrific. Great guy. Really good guy. Always does well in movies.
Alec Baldwin has had a loooooong successful career. However, one thing he hasn’t done over his career is play Donald Trump. That’s about to change.
For the rest of the election cycle, Baldwin will be playing the businessman turned Republican candidate for President, according to CNN.
CNN reporting the news makes it even better because of the real Trump’s opinion of the network.
Wow, did great in the debate polls (except for @CNN – which I don't watch). Thank you!

I won every poll from last nights Presidential Debate – except for the little watched @CNN poll.

While it doesn’t matter what Trump thinks of CNN, it’ll be interesting to see if Baldwin’s version also has a distaste for CNN when SNL debuts its 42nd season on Saturday October 1st.
As fans of the show know, Baldwin has been on SNL for years. He’s hosted a record 16 times and has played candidates before. Last year, Baldwin played Democratic candidate Jim Webb.
