Alec Baldwins Donald Trump impression is moving beyond Saturday Night Live. Having played Trump on the show since the general election campaign debates, Baldwin is now taking his popular impression of the president to the printed page.
On Wednesday, Penguin Press announced that they would be publishing a book co-written by Baldwin and Kurt Anderson, a parody political memoir lampooning Trumps first year in office called You Cant Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My Fantastic First Year as President Donald J. Trump. According to Penguin, the book will feature Trumps refreshingly compulsive un-PC candor applied to what he really thinks about his family, other world leaders, and the major events of his first year, many of which, of course, have not happened yet after only 40 days in office. The book is currently set for publication on Nov. 7, almost a full year after Trumps surprise victory over Hillary Clinton. There will also be an audiobook version, to be read by Baldwin in his Trump voice.
Anderson was one of the co-founders of Spy magazine, the publication that first called Trump a short-fingered vulgarian an insult that has carried on to the present day. As a result, Anderson is something of an expert when it comes to mocking Trump.
I didnt think this former hobby of mine would return with this ferocity, Anderson told the New York Times, adding that the book will be just as rooted in the real Trump as Baldwins parody: I think well be channeling and amplifying the real Trump Writing for a five- or 10-minute sketch is different than writing a book, which has to be a narrative.

I will definitely be buying this! I love how the deplorables are saying Alec Baldwin is being disrespectful of the president. Hey, you don't get to dictate to that with us after we put up with 8 years of "You lie!", obstructionism, and all the bullshit that went on during the campaign directed at Hillary. What McConnell did to SCOTUS is the textbook definition of "disrespectful".
