‘SNL’ opener: Alec Baldwin’s Trump begs for impeachment help

Even fixer Ray Donovan can’t help President Trump with impeachment.

Alec Baldwin brought back his impersonation of Donald Trump to open the new season of Saturday Night Live — with the president desperately calling everyone for help with his impeachment inquiry.

The cold-opener started with Trump calling obvious political allies, with Kate McKinnon as publicity-seeking lawyer Rudy Giuliani, Aidy Bryant as Attorney General William Barr and Beck Bennett as “the perfect stooge,” Vice President Pence, who was told Ukraine is “his mess.”

After chatting to sons Eric and Don Jr., Baldwin’s Trump even called Kim Jong-un, played by SNL newcomer Bowen Yang, who told him he should send his whistleblower to the bottom of a big ocean.

“I wish my country was as cool as your country,” Trump sighed in reply.

Baldwin’s Trump then called his ‘urbans’ — Chris Redd as Kanye West and Kenan Thompson as Don King.

“Kanye, just tell me who you want out of jail this time. A$AP Rocky, or how about that little girl, Teriyaki 69?” he asks, mispronouncing Tekashi 6ix9ine who is in custody in New York as part of a gang racketeering trial.

“I don’t think we can be fam no more fam,” ‘Kanye’ tells him, while even King admits, “This whole impeachment thing is hurting our brand.”

Trump finally makes the call to someone who can make people disappear — with the screen cutting to actor Liev Schreiber.

“Is this Ray Donovan, the fixer? The guy who takes care of stuff, wink-wink?” Trump asked.

“I told you, Mr. President, Ray Donovan is a fictional character,” the Showtime star told Baldwin. “I’m Liev Schreiber, the actor.”

After asking to be put through to John Wick, with Liev pointing out Keanu Reeves’ movie character is also fake, Baldwin’s Trump finally asked, “What about Liam Neeson?”

“Oh — actually Liam might do it,” Schreiber replied, with Trump smiling, “I’ll get him. Problem solved.”
