As part of the show’s cold open sketch, Baldwin’s Donald Trump addressed a rally in “Harass-burg,” Pennsylvania, where he boasted about rolling back Obama-era policies before phoning Beck Bennett’s Mike Pence as he hit a Pacers’ game, a Starbucks and a same-sex wedding.Among the president’s concerns?
