Alec Baldwin trolls Trump with Russian-language baseball cap
From Saturday Night Live to social media, Alec Baldwin has seemingly perfected the art of trolling Donald Trump.
Most recently, the actor posted a selfie to Instagram featuring a Russian-language "Make America Great Again" cap, a clear reference to the president-elect's continued praise of Russian president Vladimir Putin as well as his skepticism that Russian hacking affected election results in November.
According to a translation provided to Mashable by Olga Massov, a native Russian speaker and editor at Phaidon Press, the hat literally says "Make America Cool Again" -- but it's obviously intended to be a mocking take on Trump's famous "MAGA" slogan.
Shortly after Baldwin's joke, Trump released even more contentious tweets about Russia. On Saturday morning, he tweeted that "having a good relationship with Russia would be a good thing, not a bad thing," and that only "stupid people" would believe the opposite.

The U.S. intelligence community believes Russia was behind cyberattacks targeting the Democratic Party throughout the election season. A report released Friday by U.S. intelligence agencies reasserted that, at the very least, Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted a Donald Trump presidency.
You know, just like on SNL.
