It's really difficult, if not impossible, to parody Trump at this point. After his long, rambling speech in Phoenix had more than a few questioning his mental health and his capacity for the job, as if competence was really ever a serious consideration for Trump voters (hint: it wasn't last November and it sure as hell isn't now).

Alec Baldwin made a surprise appearance on Thursday’s episode of the primetime edition of “Weekend Update” to revive the Donald Trump impression for which he received an Emmy nomination.
