When we first heard that Donald Trump was going to be “Live from New York” we knew what we were getting into, right? He’s on the “Hulk Hogan-level” of knowing that he’s a complete character of himself. There are times when he just stands up and takes a joke about it. He has to; there’s no way that he would still be running for president of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA if he was insecure in any way or affirmed our satire as his own truth.

Trump deciding to be on SNL is the most Trump-like thing anyone could do. We knew he was going to go out there and poke fun at himself again, most every SNL Host does. They were going to make fun of his hair, his skin, his ideas, his promises, his wall, his wife, his demeanor, his small loan, and basically everything that he has become. Then there was all this talk about Latino Groups rioting and protesting outside of 30 Rock, which they actually mentioned on Weekend Update and indirectly in Trump’s Opening Monologue. For any other candidate in the Presidential field, these events would combine to form the Megazord of all campaign killers. So why do it? What’s in it for Trump? A question he definitely asks himself before he does literally everything.

“Brush my teeth? What’s in it for Trump?”

“Answer my phone? What’s in it for Trump?”

“Another spray tan session? What’s in it for Trump?”

“Host SNL? What’s in it for Trump?”

What’s in it for Trump is the best display for PR flexing we’ve seen so far in these campaigns. Right in the middle of campaigning, when all the other candidates are fighting what the media is trying to make them out to be; Trump embraced it and went on the offensive. Trump looks at everything and thinks he’s the best thing that could ever happen to it, and I’m sure it applied to NBC’s ratings. When us non-Trumpian people approach situations we normally ask, “What’s the worst possible thing that could happen?” For Trump, the answer is nothing. Everything that could be said about him has already been said, now we just get to hear it from him. Tonight we saw Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump (the J stands for Jose) in several live sketches; in the midst of which he was able to promote his book, his campaign, show us his humorous side, his down-to-earth side (it was small), and somehow become more of a meme than he is already. He wasn’t incredible, there were some definite “throwaway sketches,” but that is to be expected.

What Trump did though was addressed almost every argument against him and pulled the equivalent of what Jimmy “Rabbit” Smith (Eminem) did in 8 Mile to Papa Doc.

Obviously there’s NSFW Language in that clip.

Step up to the mic and claim…

“I know everything [you’ve] got to say against me.”

Proving to America that there’s not really anything new that you’re saying against me. Look, I’ll say it myself, on LIVE TELEVISION.

And that takes balls.

Even in his Opening Monologue, Trump addressed his Roise O’Donnell comment by falsely saying that she was in attendance and supportive, to Aidy Bryant’s dismay…

Then addressed all of the Trump Characters by literally addressing two caricatures of himself.

It’s hard for a show not to become “two billion percent better” for Trump when two Trump-A-Likes are standing next to him. Then the “indirect” reference to the protestors that I mentioned happened and Larry David made $5000, or he should have.

A sketch of what Trump thinks the end of his first term as president will look like followed the monologue. Trump hears from each member of his cabinet how awesome and success everything is becoming. The new National Anthem is “huge,” China is borrowing from us, ISIS is destroyed, Putin is still crying from being called a loser, and Trump accepts a check from the President of Mexico.

Yeah, it was for The Wall.

Trump then goes on to explain that winning is exhausting and that he can help us learn how to win all the time. At this point, SNL has been a 15-minute long infomercial for Trump. Oh wait, it was actually for Melania… weird.

Next Donald explained that he couldn’t be in all of the sketches so he’s sitting this one out, but he’d be live tweeting it as it happened. This is actually a really smart sketch, a good way to keep Trump’s “pitch count” down but still keep his voice and appeal in. Here are some of the best ones.

Then Donald Trump was somehow coerced into doing Drake’s Hotline Bling. Don’t worry, this is going to be (and probably is) all over the internet.

In Weekend Update, we didn’t have a Trump appearance but Drunk Uncle called him “a big beautiful monopoly man.”

Then there was some sketch about a bar-band and being introduced, it was all kind of weird, but we got to see Trump play a Lazer Harp.

Then Trump was a music producer, he introduced Sia again, and two porn stars made their own advertisement for “Donald Trahmp.” All not really that noteworthy. Who knows what this is going to do for his ratings or the overall doubt of his legitimacy as an American president, but tonight we saw him do something no other candidate can do… Out Trump Trump. It wasn’t exactly the “drop the mic” moment that Rabbit had when he exposed Papa Doc for being a child of privilege, but Trump still blatantly asked the world to…

…tell these people something they don’t know about me, and that might have been worth it in the end.
