Alec Baldwin returned to SNL this weekend with his now-iconic Trump impression for the episode's cold open, which featured a recap of Trump's first week as President-elect of the United States. Playing off of news that Trump was unaware of basic requirements for the Presidency, such as the need to hire a full staff for the West Wing of the White House, the sketch was a revolving door of Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon) bringing in various high-profile leaders to meet with the President-elect, who each reveal something that overwhelms Trump.

Trump's final meeting with his Vice President, Mike Pence, covers topics such as the infamous border wall, Obamacare, and the logistics of hiring a prosecutor to put Secretary Hillary Clinton in jail. And, of course, the pair discuss Pence's recent trip to Hamilton. (Watch the skit below!)

On Sunday morning, the President-elect turned to Twitter to share his negative review of the sketch, posting: "I watched parts of @nbcsnl SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE last night. It is a totally one-sided, biased show - nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?"

Baldwin wasted no time responding to the tweet, blasting Trump for focusing his time and energy on a television show rather than focusing on reuniting the country. Check out the Twitter rant below:
