After the last time Donald Trump complained about Alec Baldwin's portrayal of him on Saturday Night Live, the actor offered him a deal:

Well, Baldwin didn't get those tax returns so the president-elect got another skewering Saturday night.

The sketch took us back to his transition office at Trump Tower, where "master illusionist" Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon) shared the list of the artists willing to perform at his inauguration. ("I love both of them," he crowed).

He also got a holiday visit from perpetually shirtless Russian President Vladimir Putin (Beck Bennett), who came bearing gifts.

"I bring you Elf on Shelf," Bennett said in his best Ivan Drago. "You keep it next to internet router, all year."

The former KGB spy kept up the fawning routine, proclaiming Trump "the best candidate, the smartest candidate, the Manchurian Candidate."

Even Melania saw through that one, pulling her husband aside to ask, "If a man came from a foreign country and started flattering you, what would you do?" ("Hire him," he responded.)

Putin's day got even better when Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson (John Goodman) stopped by and the two pulled out a map and began strategizing to ease the flow of Russian oil.

That left Trump feeling a little left out, and he started dropping names to get attention. ("Did you see Kanye? He's using my colorist now!")
