WATCH: SNL’s Trump heads to The People’s Court to fight over the Muslim Ban

“Thank you judge. Or whatever you call a lady judge? A flight attendant?”

The writers and performers of Saturday Night Live must be over the moon with the free and apparently limitless material being provided to them by President Trump.

While the rest of the world watches Twitter in a state of perpetual anxiety – or as the judge in the skit puts it, “I want one day without a CNN alert that scares the hell out of me!” – the people at SNL are having their biggest ratings bump since Tina Fey was performing as Sarah Palin.

Earlier this week, when his so-called Muslim Ban was rejected by courts, Trump then tweeted “I WILL SEE YOU IN COURT!”, and this is him following on that promise, taking the federal judges on to the TV court-show.

Watch out for a special guest appearance by Trump’s BFF, too.
