Bannon then asks Trump, portrayed by Alec Baldwin, to get up from his desk. Trump responds, “Yes, of course, Mr. President,” before sitting at a smaller desk and playing with a toy.

Trump also reportedly got upset with the late-night sketch comedy show after actress Melissa McCarthy portrayed White House press secretary Sean Spicer. Of particular issue to the president, Politico reported, was that his press secretary was played by a woman.

Baldwin’s portrayal of Trump has become a staple on "SNL," and the president has made his dislike of the show known. He has taken to Twitter several times to criticize the show, tweeting just last month that it was “the worst of NBC.”
