"Saturday Night Live" cast member Pete Davidson claimed this week that President Trump faked a phone call about sales for his book during a table reading for the show in 2015.

“He was, like, weird all week. He, like, faked a phone call during the table read,” Davidson told Complex in an interview on Wednesday.

“He was like, ‘Hello.’ He goes, ‘Fantastic. OK great.’ And then he hung up and he goes, ‘Hey, everybody! My book just went No. 1!’" he said, imitating Trump. "I swear on my life. We were all, like, ‘Yo, that phone didn’t ring.”

Then-presidential candidate Trump hosted the NBC show in November of 2015.

1. Trump's lies are so brazen and so ridiculous

that years ago, if not decades, people should have stopped treating him like a sane person.

2. Here here...

what an awful man.

3. I have a co-worker who feigns "spells" when she might have to read something

I've seen this person do this on more than one occasion. Several strokes as I understand it. Might not really be able to read anymore. Basically she stalls or gets herself out of the situation. Just saying.

4. Trump has always been a fake, a phony, a fraud

a con man, and whatever else Romney called him

5. I'm amazed they were able to get him to sit down for a table read.

How long did that last, 2 minutes tops?

6. They should re-create that for a new skit with Baldwin.
