Baldwin says he would ask the sitting president, "What's your impression of what the job of the president is now, compared to what you thought of it when you started?"
Transcript
00:00Trump I would say admit it you think I do a sensational impression of you you
00:10know I do but what I would say to him is in my opinion you needed to only make
00:18the most modest adjustments and you might have had another third of the
00:24American population eating out of your hand one-third of the people in this
00:28country love you one-third of the people in this country detest you and one-third
00:33can't quite figure it out because things as you keep reminding everybody things
00:38seem to be going pretty well with the economy which is not enough in my mind
00:40by the way the spiritual condition of the country is dying but I want to say you're
00:45somebody who they're just were small little things you might have done do you
00:51see that yourself if you had it to do over again right I hate that question but
00:55if I preface it by saying that you could have made these slight adjustments
00:58it all might have gone pretty good you know but but your your your administration
01:03is in constant turmoil you're you're presenting somebody to the American
01:07public in a pivotal position in your administration 18 months later you're
01:10saying they're an asshole I've always hated them I've always had my doubts about
01:15them you know it's like one minute you're gonna give them the congressional
01:18mental law and the next thing you know you're like they're a liar and a moron and
01:22you're like well which is it and I want to go and if people are uh uh if people are
01:28praiseworthy and you trust them one minute and 18 months later you're an idiot is
01:32there something wrong with your people skills and your ability to judge people
01:36you seem to be getting it wrong quite a bit but I think more importantly with all the
01:40comedy aside what I want to say to him is like what's your impression of what the
01:44job of the president is now compared to what you thought of it when you started
01:48many people say wolf and you know the great plank in his book was that you
01:54didn't really think you're going to win and when you did win you were like oh my
01:59god what am I going to do and the idea is now that you I tend to like I don't
02:07really believe that maybe you weren't quite sure you're going to win or you had
02:09your doubts but it must have had some sense of what the job was about or in the
02:16interval between November and January when you took the oath of office you
02:21might have had some you were developing some sense what is your impression of
02:24what the president should do for the country now and have you been doing that
02:30what are some of the things you haven't been doing that you wish you had done you
02:35might and of course if you had a second term what would you do differently I got
02:39maybe that all those kinds of things which I have no faith he would answer
02:43objectively and honestly
