Ugh.

Donald Trump took a naked shower with Paul Manafort on Saturday Night Live tonight, and yes, things got weirder from there.

Kicking the episode off in classic SNL fashion, Alec Baldwin reprised his role as Trump – the real-life version of whom is on his first trip to Asia as president, the late night version of whom snuck off to check on his old buddy Manafort (Alex Moffat) after his no good very bad week.  

But don’t worry. Melania is happy with the (very) fake lookalike Baldwin’s Trump sent along in his stead. In fact, she’s falling in love!

To make absolutely sure Manafort isn’t wearing a wire, Trump insisted the pair pop in the shower together, as one does. He even got in a shot at the Hollywood scandal du jour.

“What an idiot that Harvey Weinstein is; he could’ve gotten away with all of it if only he’d gotten himself elected president,” Baldwin said to a chorus of audience groans.

And not just a regular naked shower with the sitting president of the United States either!

This one had special guests: Vice President Mike Pence (Beck Bennett) and everyone’s favorite Keebler elf, Attorney General Jeff Sessions (Kate McKinnon).

“I’m wearing a bathing costume that I got from my favorite place – the 1890s,” McKinnon said in her practiced Sessionsian drawl. “Plus I thought we should get all used to wearing stripes.”

The trio of executive authority, or perhaps, the SNL writers, ultimately determined the best course of action to save a Manafort who seems destined for prison would involve a presidential turkey pardon. Unless, of course, the Trump family accidentally eats him. 

A man can dream.
