Yahoo News Alec Baldwin welcomes in Trump... with the best parody
It was a momentous day for Donald Trump on Thursday, January 19 - as he officially became the 45th president of the USA during an inauguration ceremony in Washington, DC. Ok, stop crying. Because Alec Baldwin is here to save the day.
The actor and Saturday Night Live's resident Trump impersonator attended a rally protesting the president-elect's inauguration around the corner from New York City's Trump Tower. And yes, of course Baldwin got out his Trump impression.
"I just want to say, I've been standing out here in the freezing cold for a long time. I have to go to the bathroom - I have to pee," Baldwin declared (as Trump).
"But I'm holding it in, holding it in. I'm not going to pee. I'm going to a function at the Russian consulate tonight; I'm going to hold it in until I get there. And then when I get to the Russian consulate, I'm going to have a really, really long pee. Like the biggest pee I've ever had in my lifetime."
Then, Baldwin got serious - deserting his Trump voice to tell the thousands of attendees to stand up to the Republican president-elect and his government at every opportunity.
"Donald Trump and [White House chief strategist] Steve Bannon and [vice president-elect] Mike Pence and all these people that are part of the Trump administration, they think that you are going to lay down. Are you going to lay down?" he asked.
"One thing they don't realise is that New Yorkers never lay down. You say whatever you want to about this city, and New Yorkers never lay down. Are you going to fight? Are we going to have 100 days of resistance?"
Baldwin also labelled Trump's team a "disgrace" and called on parents to teach their children about what truly makes an American 'great'.
"My wife [Hilaria] and I have three little children. For all of you out there who have children, they're never too young for you to start to teach them about what's going on here. They're never too young for you to teach them what a real American is," he said.
"An American wants full participation and full transparency of their government, and we've never been further from that than we are now. These people are a disgrace! They are a disgrace to everything you and I believe in. But there is hope, and the hope is us and us fighting. 100 days of resistance."
And he couldn't leave the stage without one final Trump impression: "I'm going to go to the Russian consulate right now and take a piss. A really super, super strong one."
The anti-Trump demonstration - titled We Stand United - also featured appearances from Robert De Niro, Rosie Perez, Michael Moore, Sally Field, Mark Ruffalo and Rev. Al Sharpton.
