Alec Baldwin has debuted his Donald Trump impression for a sketch on US comedy show Saturday Night Live.
The 30 Rock actor portrayed Mr Trump in a mock presidential debate opposite comedienne Kate McKinnon, who played Hillary Clinton.
After walking on stage dressed as the Republican candidate, Alec mimicked Trump’s voice as he said: “I’m going to be so good tonight. I am going to be so calm, and so presidential that all of you watching are going to cream your jeans.”
Answering a question about the economy, he added: “Our jobs are fleeing this country. They’re going to Mexico. They’re going to Jina,” poking fun at Trump’s pronunciation of “China”.
Classic. #SNLPremiere https://t.co/uKz1HJZERD

Alec’s Trump also claimed Clinton had broken his microphone, referring to one of Trump’s complaints in the wake of Monday’s debate.
He said: “My microphone is broken. She broke it. With Obama. They took my microphone to Kenya and they broke it and now it’s broken.

“Can you hear that, it’s picking up somebody sniffling here.”
Alec’s Trump also claimed he had “the best temperament, she’s the one with the bad temperament. She’s always screaming, she’s constantly lying, her hair is crazy, her face is completely orange, except around the eyes where it’s white”.
Quite the campaign promise. #SNLPremiere https://t.co/RcP5rbaXWz
