Trump: In Texas, Talafreako… @JamesTalarico: That’s Senator Talafreako. Hi America, I’m James Talarico, the guy who’s been texting you every day asking for $5. Trump: In this economy, who can blame you? Talarico: But I think, Mr. President, if we can work together, we can make life better for everyday Americans. It’s clear people want something new. They want something different. I’m talking, of course, about SNL’s cold opens. How many of these Trump freezes are they gonna do? Trump: Infinity. Talarico: Well, in that case, there’s only one thing left to say. Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!
