The Twitterverse wonders if Alec Baldwin has spent too much time presenting President Donald Trump on the "Saturday Night Live" show.

In an interview Wednesday, 60-year-old Baldwin told the Hollywood Reporter that "since playing Trump, Black people love me. "

The actor added, "I think it's because they're afraid of Trump. I'm not going to paint all African Americans with the same brush, but a considerable number of them." Between them are sitting there, being bad for blacks. "

His comments did not please some social media users, who made a sarcastic comparison between Baldwin and the presidential figure he played in "SNL".

Star Predator Olivia Munn asked Baldwin for "receipts".

"I need proof of that.There are a lot of innocent blacks you call and you should not be able to do it without a receipt," she tweeted on Wednesday.

@Hawksandreed said that Baldwin's remarks were the "most misleading thing ever pronounced by someone who is not Trump".

The user @CocoaYummykins agreed, asking if Baldwin is "still in the character?"

@TasneemN said his latest remarks equaled "the most accurate impression of Trump by Baldwin … when he did not even play it".

The user @SlimiHendrix tried to remember the moment when Baldwin intervened: "In reality, I do not think I've ever talked about Alec Baldwin to another black person."

@All_Eyez_On_D ended Baldwin's comment about him: "No black person ever said …"

@Chalin cited President Trump's controversial commentary "Where is my African-American" during the June 2016 election campaign, calling Baldwin's remark "your deaf"?

@HayesBrown left a "who said that" the GIF of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" was talking for him.

Baldwin has declined to comment on the US TODAY & HUU, and has not yet resolved the controversy.

He first unveiled his imitation of Trump, winner of the Emmy Awards, on "SNL" before the 2016 presidential election, a portrait that Trump himself called "boring", "not funny" and "sad".
