 CLOSE SNL returns from a break and takes on some hot button topics both politically and on the red carpet. USA TODAY 
  
 A day after President Trump called his impersonation "terrible," Alec Baldwin returned to Saturday Night Live. 
  
 In the cold open of Saturday's show, Baldwin let loose on the president and his tumultuous week that saw resignations and head-scratching statements. 
  
 "I have one of the healthiest mentals," Baldwin as Trump said, after stressing the importance of mental health in the wake of the Florida school shooting.

 But rest assured, Baldwin's Trump can stop school shootings without a weapon, singlehandedly, "just like how I'm running the whole White House by myself. Because these people who work for me keep resigning." 
  
 He went on to mourn the loss of Hope Hicks, the former communications director who stepped down this past week.

 Hicks, played by Cecily Strong, appeared later on "Weekend Update" to say goodbye to her friends from her "semester abroad at the White House." 
  
 "Some people dance in our lives and quickly go. But they always leave footprints on our hearts, and fingerprints on Russian documents." 
  
 Baldwin's SNL appearance came after Trump ripped the actor's impersonation on Twitter. 
  
 Baldwin fired back: "Agony though it may be, I’d like to hang in there for the impeachment hearings, the resignation speech, the farewell helicopter ride to Mara-A-Lago," he wrote. "You know. The Good Stuff. That we’ve all been waiting for."

Paying homage to Hope Hicks, the outgoing White House communications director, Baldwin said: “She’s like a daughter to me. So smart, so hot. You know, I hate seeing her go but I love watching her walk away.” 
  
 In her absence, Baldwin said, “Jared Kushner’s basically the hottest chick left in the place.” And when he sought assurance from Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser, that he was still on board, the camera cut to an empty chair with McMaster’s name in front of it. 
  
 Turning to the subject of tariffs, Baldwin said: “Both sides hated it. I don’t care. I said I was going to run this country like a business. That business is a Waffle House at 2 a.m. Crazies everywhere, staff walking out in the middle of their shift, managers taking money out of the cash register to pay off the Russian mob.”

 Surprisingly Topical Monologue of the Week 
  
 Though he occasionally stumbled in his delivery, Barkley, the “Inside the NBA” analyst, scored with a pointed comedic commentary on the role of athletes in American civic life. He began: 
  
 I’m an athlete, and athletes have been speaking out a lot this year. They’ve been kneeling during the anthem, refusing to go to the White House, and a lot of professional athletes are worried about speaking out might hurt their career. Well, here’s something that contradicts all of that: me. I’ve been saying whatever the hell I want for 30 years, and I’m doing great. I’m hosting “S.N.L.” for the fourth time, for no reason. Lorne Michaels just wanted somebody to talk to about “Black Panther.” But this country’s had a great tradition of athletes speaking their minds. Muhammad Ali changed the way people thought about Vietnam. Jim Brown had people thinking about race. Michael Jordan even thought it was O.K. for humans to play with Looney Tunes. 
  
 Alluding to the Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s recent criticism of LeBron James, Barkley added: 
  
 Well, some folks think we’re all spoiled millionaires. But athletes work hard. … But some people don’t want to hear from professional athletes. Like this lady on Fox News who told LeBron James to shut up and dribble. And dribbling’s like LeBron’s only fourth thing he’s good at. Shooting, passing, and magically making his hairline come back. But the media does this stuff all the time. I went to President Obama’s 50th birthday party. They got video of me, Jay-Z, Steve Harvey and Grant Hill at the party, and Fox News called it a “hip-hop barbecue.” First of all, we were the only four black people there. And three of us ain’t even in hip-hop. So calling it a hip-hop barbecue is like calling any tournament Tiger [Woods] plays in “Def Golf Jam.” 
  
 At the conclusion of his monologue, Barkley traded riffs with the “Weekend Update” co-anchor Michael Che. “I’m proud to stand for the anthem,” Barkley said. “Unless Fergie is singing it, and I just fall over laughing.” 
  
 Che responded: “I stay seated for the anthem, because I’m still in my Uber. Because black people are always late.” |||||

As President Trump was busily trading jabs with the media at the Gridiron Dinner, Alec Baldwin was merrily mocking his favorite target's chaotic week on Saturday Night Live, joking that the recently departed Hope Hicks is "like a daughter to me. So smart, so hot. You know, I hate seeing her go but I love watching her walk away." Further, per the New York Times, "Jared Kushner’s basically the hottest chick left in the place." Hicks appeared in a later segment, played by Cecily Strong, notes USA Today, and compared the White House to summer camp, in which "you barely get any sleep and then everybody leaves after eight weeks." "Some people dance in our lives and quickly go," Strong lamented. "But they always leave footprints on our hearts, and fingerprints on Russian documents." Charles Barkley guest-hosted, video highlights are in the gallery, and the New York Times has a rundown of the Baldwin-Trump feud.
