Alec Baldwin says there’s a possibility he’ll show up to the correspondents’ dinner as Trump

“Well, I wouldn’t say I’m not lobbying,” Baldwin replied, adding that there was a lot of competition on the Internet about who delivers the best Trump. The actor may have been referring to John Di Domenico, who has been doing “The Donald” for more than a decade and reportedly makes $40,000 a month.

Baldwin claims he never did a Trump impersonation before and initially refused when Lorne Michaels, “Saturday Night Live’s” longtime executive producer, asked him to cameo as the reality star- turned-politician. But Michaels and Tina Fey, an “SNL” vet whose Sarah Palin impersonation also went down in the history books, convinced Baldwin to do it. The trick to a good Trump, according to Baldwin? It’s all about the eyebrows, the pouty mouth and the dramatic pause as the president searches “for a strong better word, and he never finds it.”

But whether Baldwin will bring this particular set of skills to the correspondents’ dinner stage is still up in the air. His not “not lobbying” could mean that he’s reached out. As early as last week, WHCA President Jeff Mason had “no updates” on the headliner but said “stay tuned.”

Kimmel had one good point for the Baldwin column. “It should be whoever the president hates seeing do it the most, and that’s undoubtedly you,” he said.
