In the show, Trump, played by actor Alec
Baldwin, asks his lawyer, Michael Cohen, played by Ben Stiller,
to call Daniels and try to fix their ongoing legal battle "once
and for all."
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, sued Trump in
March to get out of a "hush agreement" over their alleged
relationship in which she was paid $130,000 by Cohen to keep
quiet. Trump has denied he had an affair with Clifford.
In the sketch aired on Saturday night, Trump listens in to the
conversation between Cohen and Clifford and soon cuts his lawyer
off to speak directly with her.
"What do you need for all this to just go away?" he asks.
"A resignation," Clifford says.
Trump persists, saying: "I solved North and South Korea, why
can't I solve us?"
Clifford says it's too late for that.
"I know you don't believe in climate change, but a storm's a-comin
baby," Clifford says, before she and Baldwin break off to give
the show's trademark introduction "live from New York it's
Saturday Night Live!"
