"Saturday Night Live" poked at Donald Trump's public remarks about his daughter, Ivanka, who gave birth to her third child last week.
"Saturday Night Live" fired shots at Donald Trump’s apparent war on women, depicting a die-hard campaign surrogate struggling to defend the Republican front-runner’s misogynist antics.
“As a woman, I like Donald Trump, but as a full-blown nutjob, I freakin’ love him,” said SNL cast member Cecily Strong as USA Radio Networks correspondent Scottie Nell Hughes during the show’s first cold open since March 12.
DONALD TRUMP WON'T ANSER PERSONAL ABORTION QUESTIONS
The episode, hosted by “Game of Thrones” actor Peter Dinklage, found ways to poke at Hughes’ excuses rationalizing Trump’s outrageous brazen behavior while recapping three weeks worth of political shenanigans.

“I just gotta say, isn’t my daughter Ivanka the best,” Trump’s doppelganger, Darrel Hammond, said gushing about the new mom from a campaign rally before his statement took a sophomoric turn.
“She’s so smart, so talented and what a rack. She just had a baby so you can imagine that rack now. It is just tremendous,” Hammond’s Trump said.
Ivanka gave birth to her third child, a baby boy, last week.

SNL cast member Kate McKinnon talks to Cecily Strong as a Donald Trump supporter on CNN.
At the same rally, the show’s brutish depiction of Trump continued with the real estate tycoon repeatedly punching a supporter and starting a “women suck” chant.
Strong’s Hughes continued to defend Trump, explaining to Kate McKinnon as CNN newscaster Kate Bolduan, that Trump’s remarks on abortion was an April Fool’s joke and he didn’t mean to retweet an “unflattering” photo of Ted Cruz’s wife, Heidi.
“That was an accident because Donald’s hands are just so big, he can’t ever see every little tweet he retweets,” said Strong’s Hughes. “His hands are this big (gesturing) flaccid.”

Donald Trump started a beef with Ted Cruz about his wife, Heidi.
The remark references the infamous debate spat between Trump and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, where Rubio accused Trump of having more than just small hands.
The real Hughes embraced Strong’s impression, tweeting a photo of her dog-tired pup during Saturday’s show.
“FTR (for the record) LuLu McStuffins is not impressed by my @NBCSNL debut.

Darrel Hammond's Donald Trump started a "When I say women, you say suck" chant with supporters at a rally.
SNL continued with its anti-Trump attacks during Colin Jost and Michael Che’s Weekend Update, making fun of his call for “some form of punishment” for women who undergo abortions during a town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Trump has frequently said he’s “pro-life” while on the campaign trail.
“He said women should be punished for getting abortions, then doctors should be punished, then the state and then the laws should be left alone,” Jost said. “He has to be pro-choice because he’s made all the choices.”
The episode's musical guest was Gwen Stefani, who joined Dinklage in a sketch about “space pants.”
Dinklage, who stopped by the Studio 8H for first-time hosting duties, strayed from political skits and refused to speculate on Jon Snow’s fate in “Game of Thrones.”
