The skit involves Tillerson going to Trump Tower to re-bond with Putin, whom his character refers to as "Pootie" while making oil deals on the fly as a confused Trump looks on.

“And then we destroy Vanity Fair, right?” asks Baldwin as Trump.

“Sure, buddy,” Goodman’s Tillerson says.

While Tillerson found the "SNL" skit funny, Trump has not expressed an appreciation for the work of the skit show, even though he hosted an episode during his presidential campaign in the fall of 2015.

Trump has called the show biased, criticized Baldwin's impression and said it is unwatchable.
