Alec Baldwin just spilled some tea, and it's piping hot. According to the artist, Melania Trump was secretly living for his "Saturday Night Live" impression of Donald Trump. While the United States President was busy rage-posting about Baldwin's portrayal, the former First Lady allegedly pointed at the TV and nodded in agreement.

Per Baldwin, former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer let it slip at the Emmys one year. During a recent event at 92nd Street Y, the "Rust" actor shared what he had heard: "Spicer—maybe he had a couple drinks, I don't know, I wasn't there—he says to the people at SNL, 'Melania watches the show every Saturday night,'" Baldwin recalled, according to Page Six.

And it gets even better. Spicer allegedly continued,"  'And she points at the TV and says, 'That's what he's like! That is what he's like! Exactly! Alec Baldwin is exactly like Donald!'"

Cue Baldwin and the crowd cracking up. "We're gagging laughing, but it made sense!" the 66-year-old actor said. "She loves when they give it to him, you know what I mean?"

Trump's Not Laughing

While Melania might have been giggling on the inside, her husband was not entertained. Over the years, Trump made it clear that Baldwin's impersonation wasn't his cup of tea.

Back in 2019, the former president took to X (formerly Twitter) to vent: "It's truly incredible that shows like Saturday Night Live, not funny/no talent, can spend all of their time knocking the same person (me), over & over, without so much of a mention of 'the other side.' Like an advertisement without consequences."

Melania's Secret Side

Melania Trump is one of the most mysterious figures in politics. The First Lady of the United States is serving her second term in this role. Despite having published a memoir that details her life, career, and relationship with Donald Trump, she continues to be a subject of intrigue. 

In an unexpected move, Melania has partnered with Amazon to create a documentary—this will be the first film exploring her life, which includes her approval and collaboration.

While the White House and Amazon are keeping the project under wraps, Melania explained in a chat with Fox & Friends that the documentary started its first phase in November.

"We started the production in November, and we are shooting right now, so it's a day-to-day life. What I'm doing is what kind of responsibilities I have," said Melania. "It's day-to-day, from transition team to moving to the White House, packing, establishing my team, the First Lady office, moving into the White House, what it takes to make the residence your home, to hire the people that you need." 

According to Prime Video, the project is an "unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look at First Lady Melania Trump." ​​​​​​​​
