Alec Baldwin has made yet another appearance as Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live, which featured Trump decorating the White House for Christmas.

With Cecily Strong's Melania by his side, Baldwin's Mr Trump welcomed staff and family to the Oval Office to hang ornaments on the tree.

"The war on Christmas is over," Baldwin's Mr Trump said.

"It will soon be replaced by the war with North Korea."

Baldwin's Mr Trump declared he had had an "amazing year in office, the greatest year in the history of America - and maybe the entire planet earth".

"Just in time for Christmas, we're about to give Americans the biggest, fattest tax cut they've ever seen," Baldwin's Mr Trump said.

"It might even make me a real billionaire. It's my greatest achievement."

The two then turned to trimming the tree, with Baldwin's Mr Trump saying: "In the Christmas spirit I wanted to thank all the amazing people who work for me, but because I can't help myself I also want to remember all the haters and losers I destroyed this year."

His plan was hanging ornaments with their faces on the "tree of shame".

First came Kellyanne Conway, played by Kate McKinnon, bearing an ornament with James Comey.

"Sadly I had to fire him because he's a nut job and he knows all my secrets," Mr Trump, who then asked Conway what she wants for Christmas, said.

"I want out," she said.

Then arrived Sarah Huckabee Sanders, played by Aidy Bryant, with ornaments of Sean Spicer and Anthony Scaramucci.
Beck Bennett's Mike Pence - "my fall guy", Trump said - brought a Mike Flynn ornament "because he lied to us", Pence said.

"He acted alone, without our knowledge," he added.

Then Omarosa, portrayed by Leslie Jones, started banging on the window, demanding to be let in before she was hauled away by Secret Service.

Then it was the family's turn. Scarlett Johansson made a return appearance as Ivanka - minus Jared, who was "packing a go-bag before the FBI arrives". Her ornament of choice was Roy Moore.

Donald Jr and Eric, played by Alex Moffatt and Mikey Day, arrived with a stack featuring a long list of White House exiles - including Reince Preibus, Tom Price, Sebastian Gorka, Carter Page, Preet Bahara, Paul Manafort Sally Yates, and George Papadopoulos among others.

McKinnon played Jeff Sessions as the "elf on the shelf". Sessions' ornament was Robert Mueller's face because "he's next", he said.

"You've got to cut the head off the snake," he added.
