In the alternate world, where Hillary Clinton won the presidency, here's how everyone faired:

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (Aidy Bryant) is a spokesperson for Facebook, infidelity dating site Ashley Madison and for recalled vegetable romaine lettuce.

White House advisor Kellyanne Conway is noticeably healthy, and says, "After we lost the campaign, the devil did give me my soul back… now I talk to my husband (lawyer George Conway who has spoken out against Trump)."

Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen (Ben Stiller) is happy to see Trump, saying "You're my best friend. You taught me everything I know."

First lady Melania Trump has divorced Trump, lost her accent and is "happily married to Papa John." Trump has a new wife now called Hernia, a "suitcase girl" from a game show.

Vice president Mike Pence is deejaying the party and not at all upset that Trump lost the election.

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh (host Matt Damon) is relieved he didn't get appointed – more time to hang out with friends P.J. and Squee.

Even Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller (Robert De Niro) is happy: Less time investigating "some idiot for treason," means more time with his grandson.

But even when presented with a world where his peers seem better off with Clinton in office, Trump doesn't come away wishing he didn't win the election.

"I've had an epiphany," says Trump. "The world does need me to be president after all."

Trump has often been critical of SNL and Baldwin's portrayal of him, and has taken to Twitter in the past to express his frustrations, even getting into spats with Baldwin.

In his tweet Sunday, Trump wrote that coverage on networks like NBC is one-sided and suggested that it should be tested in courts.

The implication drew criticism from commenters online, who noted the US's First Amendment protects freedom of speech, which includes satire and parody.
