Alec Baldwin says playing President Donald Trump on "Saturday Night Live" has turned into "agony" for him and adds he's working on "a project" to oust the commander-in-chief.
"Every time I do it now, it's like agony. Agony. I can't. If things don't go in the right direction for the midterms …" the veteran actor and longtime Trump critic tells The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Thursday.
"I could go out on the street, stand on any corner and tap 10 people on the shoulder. And all 10 of them, in all likelihood, would be more qualified — ethically, morally, intellectually and spiritually — than Trump.
"I'll vote for Mitt Romney. I don't care. Anybody over this guy. It doesn't matter. We have to get rid of him."
And Baldwin, 59, says ousting Trump from the White House is "another project I'm working on."
"I was the keynote speaker at the Democratic Dinner in Iowa, and I'm gonna go do a couple more of those this year," he told the magazine.
"My wife and I agreed that we're gonna give it everything we have. And then if, God forbid, he wins again in 2020, I'm wondering can I host a game show in Spain."
Baldwin's outlandish portrayal of the president is one of the NBC sketch show's most-talked about features, although Trump is no fan and has tweeted his disapproval.
Trump wrote in October 2016 during the presidential race:
Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!
In December 2016, he said in another Twitter blast:
This week it was announced that Baldwin, whose credits include "30 Rock," "The Boss Baby" and "Beetlejuice," will host a new ABC-TV interview show called "Sundays With Alec Baldwin" and modeled after the podcast he does for WNYC Radio in New York City.
