It's Sunday, which means the internet is coming to terms with the future president of the United States in yet another feud with Saturday Night Live.

Alec Baldwin performed another spot-on impression of Trump on the show Saturday evening, mocking the president-elect for his recent actions on Twitter, Trump's preferred form of communication.

After the show bashed Trump for tweeting, Trump then hate-tweeted about the show, proving the exact point the skit was trying to make.

But Baldwin isn't the type to just let some bully talk smack without dishing it back, so he tweeted that he would gladly stop his Trump impersonation if Trump simply releases his tax returns.

Here's the bit that Trump is referring to:

During the election Trump refused to release his tax returns despite pressure from both Republicans and Democrats, citing an ongoing audit by the IRS. In October the New York Times released records from Trump's tax returns in 1995, which show that he may have avoided paying taxes for up to 18 years after reporting a $916 million loss.

Of course this isn't the first time Baldwin and Trump exchanged words on Twitter over SNL; just last month Baldwin called out Trump for a similar tweet where Trump complained about "equal time" even though he already had won the election.

Meanwhile Alec's brother Stephen decided to how his support for Trump on Twitter on Sunday. Stephen previously stated during the election that his brother's portrayal of Trump isn't funny.
