Alec Baldwin’s career has enjoyed a rare third act or sorts thanks to a feud with Donald Trump. After the realty show star threw his hat in the ring in 2015 and announced his run for the presidency, Baldwin took on the challenge of portraying him on Saturday Night Live, and was rewarded with an Emmy.
So biting was his very orange interpretation of The Donald that Trump himself has been moved to attack him. He even called on NBC to cancel the institutional late night comedy show all together.
The feud has simmered on the back burner for the last few months, but on Friday President Trump decided to turn it back up to a boil. Trump took to Twitter to respond to comments Baldwin made in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter that made the rounds a day earlier.
Baldwin confessed that playing the role of Donald Trump had become “agony,” to which the president replied, “Alec, it was agony for those who were forced to watch. Bring back Darrell Hammond, funnier and a far greater talent!”
The actor immediately hit back with two EPIC tweets, first by mocking the future Trump Library, and then by attacking the president’s manhood.
Looking forward to the Trump Presidential Library.

As of our publishing time, President Trump had yet to fire back, but it’s certainly inevitable. We’ll keep you posted.
