Did Donald Trump Respond to Alec Baldwin's Russian 'Make America Great Again' Hat Post?
Alec Baldwin‘s parodying of Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live hasn’t exactly resulted in the best relations between the two.

That same day, U.S. intelligence agencies reported that Vladimir personally “ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election” with a “clear preference for President-elect Trump,” according to The New York Times.
