Actor Alec Baldwin said he does not think he will continue impersonating President Donald Trump much longer.

Baldwin spoke with Extra and said the White House's attitude toward his playing Trump on "Saturday Night Live" is concerning.

"Trump just overwhelmingly lacks any sportsmanship. He remains bitter and angry, and you want to look at him and go, 'You won!'" Baldwin said.

"His policies aside, which you can hate, I thought he would have just relaxed and said, 'hey man . . .' There's a style the president has to have. The maliciousness of this White House has people very worried, which is why I'm not not going to do it much longer, that whole impersonation. I don't know how much more people can take it."

Baldwin has played Trump on the weekly comedy show since last October. During the Extra interview, he was asked if hosting the White House Correspondents' Dinner was in the cards now that Trump does not plan to attend the April event.

"I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't think that they want that," Baldwin said. "If they wanted me to do it, I would probably do it, but I'm not quite sure they do."
