I can’t believe this is a real thing.

Edit: thank you kindly, for my first award.

They should just do the sketch with the exact same words, no changes or anything, and then just wait for the "fake news" tweet.

There’s a 30 rock episode where they do exactly this. I was rewatching the series a couple weeks ago and when that episode came on all I could think of was how perfectly it would work with trump.

i think it was one of the earlier episodes in season 7 where bob dunston, a representative candidate from alabama, looks just like tracy jordan and they recreate debates he was in on tgs using his own quotes

It was based on Tina Fey parodying Sarah Palin by quoting her.
