The internet wants Rosie O'Donnell to play Steve Bannon on 'SNL'...and she's into it
If there's one thing Donald Trump hates, it's Saturday Night Live. If there's a second thing, it's probably Rosie O'Donnell.
The two entertainers have feuded publicly and viciously for years, but given POTUS' alleged discomfort with seeing a woman portray one of his staffers, O'Donnell may have a trump card ready (sorry).
Social media wants to see O'Donnell on SNL, and she's ready to suit up as "#BannonInChief."
The idea to have O'Donnell portray Bannon as a guest star gained momentum on Twitter following the news that Trump is apparently very upset a woman (Melissa McCarthy) portrayed Sean Spicer.
O'Donnell herself heard about the Twitter plan -- and she's into it.

SNL's Mikey Day is the show's resident Bannon impersonator (typically shown with a mask as the Grim Reaper) but might step aside for a night at this opportunity to anger Trump more than the show already does on a weekly basis.
Vanity Fair noted that the show rarely crowdsources its casting -- but Facebook did get Betty White to host in 2010, so we won't give up yet.
Alec Baldwin himself will host SNL this weekend, so Rosie or not, something Yuge is probably in the works.
In the meantime, let's all rewatch that sketch that has the Trump administration so angry, shall we?
