Jusqu'à maintenant, Alec Baldwin jouait Donald Trump dans les sketchs politiques de l'émission satirique de la chaîne américaine NBC, le "Saturday Night Live". Et les choses se passaient plutôt bien. Jusqu'au 4 février, date où le casting a commencé à être bousculé, au grand dam de Donald Trump, qui n'avait alors rien vu. Le pire pour lui est certainement arrivé dans l'émission du samedi 11 février, quand il a tout simplement été incarné à l'écran par... Leslie Jones.
Oui, Leslie Jones. Et croyez-le ou non, la mèche blonde lui sied plutôt bien. Melissa McCarthy en Sean Spicer avait régalé les spectateurs qui en redemandaient. "SNL" a alors choisi d'opter pour un casting politique entièrement féminin. Il n'en fallait pas plus pour inspirer l'humoriste afro-américaine qui s'est alors lancée à cœur perdu dans l'apprentissage de son personnage présidentiel. Pour un résultat étonnement convaincant, comme vous pouvez le voir dans notre vidéo ci-dessus.
Les spectateurs ne s'attendaient pas à ça. Gageons que Donald Trump non plus. Quand début février, la Maison Blanche a vu son porte-parole incarné par une femme, le malaise aurait été palpable,
D'après le journal politique, Donald Trump s'en est fortement agacé: "Trump n'aime pas que son équipe paraisse faible", avait alors rapporté un de ses proches soutiens. Le nouveau président, pourtant utilisateur compulsif de Twitter, n'avait cette fois-ci rien publié. Un signe que le président n'est pas vraiment à l'aise avec la parodie de l'émission de NBC.

Basinger Baldwin(24 of30)
FILE - This Jan. 29, 1996 picture shows Alec Baldwin and his wife Kim Basinger in Los Angeles. The American Psychiatric Association has a hot potato on its hands as it updates its catalog of mental disorders _ whether to include parental alienation, the long-disputed concept of one estranged parent turning a child against the other. Parental alienation surged onto the pop-culture radar screen a few years ago as a consequence of the bitter divorce and child custody battle involving actors Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. Baldwin was harshly criticized by some feminist groups for citing parental alienation syndrome as a source of his estrangement with his daughter. The concept is a source of confusion and division in the legal profession, as some lawyers try to evoke parental alienation and others challenge that tactic. (AP Photo/Rene Macura) (credit:AP)
