- He also leaves what at first appears to be a ‘respectful’ wedding, until the groom is met at the alter by a second groom
- Trump closes ‘Marriage is between a man and a woman, then another woman. Then another woman. And maybe one more if you have got it in you’
The country’s favorite imitator-in-chief Alex Baldwin delivered the hits during Saturday Night Live, addressing Vice President Mike Pence leaving the Colts game last Sunday.
The opener Baldwin, a la Trump in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, keeps stopping his speech to check in with Vice President Mike Pence played by SNL’s Beck Bennett, to see if anyone was being disrespectful at different events.
The skit hearkened back to Pence walking out at the Colts game last Sunday when players took a knee during the anthem.
Pence started by attending a basketball game- he told Trump everyone was being ‘respectful’ but then he reported that players were kneeling during the national anthem. ‘Get out of there Mike, bail, haul a** out of there!’ Trump commanded.
The imitator-in-chief kept interrupting his own speech in Pennsylvania to check up on Pence
All was fine with Pence at an Indiana game- until one player takes a knee causing Trump to go into a fury and forcing Pence to leave
Next was a Starbucks run for Pence.
Baldwin’s Trump pressed if there were holiday cups or cups that said ‘Merry Christmas.’
When Pence reported they said ‘Pumpkin Spice is Back,’ as its not where near Christmas- ‘Get out of there, Mike!’ Trump demanded.
‘We’re going to start saying Merry Christmas again, and you can’t disrespect our Lord and savior Santa Claus like that,’ Trump said.
Baldwin’s Trump also said all children are getting coal for Christmas as its America’s future.
A ‘respectful’ wedding becomes an issue for Pence to remain at when he realizes a second groom is approaching the alter
Pence ends up finally at a wedding- telling Trump all is well as it is a ‘respectful’ gathering.
He reports the groom has reached the alter- but wait- another groom is approaching. He bolts as soon as he realizes Trump is about to yell at him to leave.
‘No one should disrespect the sanctity of marriage,’ Trump said. ‘Like it says in my favorite Bible verse, Double Corinthians, marriage is between a man and a woman, then another woman. Then another woman. And maybe one more if you have got it in you.’
Last week Pence left an NFL game between the Colts and the San Francisco 49ers after seeing some players take a knee during the national anthem. Trump later tweeted that the vice president did so at his request.
