Checking in on the President* of the United States during Executive Time.
pparently, sometime before dawn on Friday, Executive Time already was rolling in earnest with an assessment of one of the critical issues of the day: the performance of someone named “Alex Baldwin,” whose career was said to be “dieing.”
Pres. Trump attacks 'Alex' Baldwin for his portrayal on "Saturday Night Live," tweeting that it was "agony for those who were forced to watch." https://t.co/SHpRh5ZPHB pic.twitter.com/MKGJXWsc6H

Somebody later snuck in and corrected the spelling.
Alec Baldwin, whose dying mediocre career was saved by his terrible impersonation of me on SNL, now says playing me was agony. Alec, it was agony for those who were forced to watch. Bring back Darrell Hammond, funnier and a far greater talent!

Good morning, Mr. President.
Then, it was time to explain Thursday’s head-fake toward populism regarding tariffs on steel and aluminum.
When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win. Example, when we are down $100 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don’t trade anymore-we win big. It’s easy!

At least he’s got his issue priorities straight: disestablish national trade policy, insult Alec Baldwin, correct embarrassing spelling mistakes in Baldwin tweet.
Trade wars are easy.
Comedy is hard.
