After being asked about Sondland's testimony about the president's dealings with Ukraine, Baldwin's Trump launched into a monologue about why he felt the ambassador's testimony exonerated him.

"I actually wrote down notes from his testimony that proves my innocence and I used the biggest, fattest black Magic Marker I could find," Baldwin said, referring to a handwritten notes Trump read from as Sondland testified. "I love black magic markers by the way. I know most people use sharpies, they smell like licorice."

Reading from his notes, Baldwin recounted a conversation he had with Sondland to defend his innocence.

"It's right here in my notes of super important conversations on the phone I've had," Baldwin said. "I'll read one, but then I have to split. This is me and Ambassador Sondland talking. He says to me, 'what do you want?' And I answer, 'two large pies, extra cheese, extra sauce."

"No, wait, wait, wait. That's a different phone call," Baldwin's Trump said, before asserting that he said to Sondland, "I want nothing, no quid pro quo, bro."

After Ferrell, impersonating Sondland, appears, Baldwin's Trump jokes that "it's so great to meet you for the first time by the way."
