"Saturday Night Live" returned for its 43rd season by lampooning President Donald Trump's response to the disaster in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria and his feud with NFL players who protest during the national anthem.
Alec Baldwin reprised his Emmy-winning role of Trump, and the cold open began with the president returning to the White House after a weekend golfing at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Baldwin's Trump is greeted by Aidy Bryant as White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
"Welcome back from Bedminster, mister president," she says. "Thank you Sarah, I had to come back — sometimes when you're president you have to make sacrifices, so I skipped the back nine," Baldwin’s Trump responds.
