“Saturday Night Live” has been getting rave reviews lately for its parodies of the recent presidential debates, which feature Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump.
In the past few weeks, Baldwin has made fun of Trump’s “grab her” comments, his alienation of Republican supporters, and his tendency to go off-topic when responding to debate questions. It’s arguably the most popular “SNL” political impression since Tina Fey‘s riff on Sarah Palin eight years ago … though Trump himself definitely isn’t a fan. And neither, it turns out, is Baldwin’s brother, Stephen.
Stephen Baldwin, who is a supporter of Trump, attended Wednesday night’s debate in Las Vegas and was asked by reporters what he thought of his brother’s act. Baldwin said that while Alec got the voice down well, he didn’t think it was very funny.
“I don’t think there’s anything very funny about this election,” he said. “We have never had this much stagnation in our economy in God knows how long … but there’s no fooling around anymore.”
“Young people and those undecided voters, everybody needs to do as much homework as they can in the next 20 days, because if Mr. Trump doesn’t get in there we’re going to see more of what we’ve seen in the last eight years,” the actor and reality star continued.
Alec Baldwin is expected to play Trump again in another “SNL” cold open sketch this Saturday, as Tom Hanks is set to host with Lady Gaga as musical guest.

In conjunction, he released a star-studded video titled "Important" and although it doesn't mention either candidate by name, it does reference "a man whose signature move is firing someone," as well as describing one of the candidates as "a racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society."
The Prophets of Rage guitarist teamed with Ryan Harvey and Ani DiFranco to record "Old Man Trump."
The song was originally an unfinished Woody Guthrie protest piece intended for his landlord who happened to be Fred Trump, Donald's father.
Harvey told the Guardian: “You’ve got Donald Trump talking about making America great again ... and so here’s Woody Guthrie, one of the definers of American history, coming out after his death and saying ‘No, it wasn’t a great era and in fact your father was part of the problem.’”
Eminem is known for not holding back when it comes to diss tracks, but this time he let it all out in a track titled "Campaign Speech" -- eight minutes of anti-Trump freestyle, among other topics like Trayvon Martin and Colin Kaepernick.
"A f---ing loose cannon, who's blunt with his hand on the button who doesn't have to answer to no one," raps Eminem. "Great idea."
