Early Friday morning, while markets reeled over his tariff announcement and Russia unveiled new missiles designed to attack America, President Trump finally said something that made sense.

Sadly, it was nothing to do with policy. Instead, he addressed who should impersonate him on Saturday Night Live.

We have known for years that Trump disapproves of Alec Baldwin's lippy, squinty impression of the commander in chief, but it took some brave honesty from head of the United States executive branch to give Lorne Michaels some desperately needed casting advice.

It took two years, but he finally said something that we can agree with. Well, not the fact that Alec "Jack Donaghy" Baldwin's career is mediocre. But it's certainly true that Darrell Hammond, now the voice of SNL's intro, has typically done a much more believable and comedic version of Trump. And we wouldn't be sad at all to see Baldwin replaced.

But before you stand and applaud the former reality TV star's opinion, you should know that he first tweeted it out with some extremely glaring errors.

Wow. The fact that he chose to delete this tweet, fix it, and resend it really speaks to his conviction on this issue. We wish he had the same commitment when it came to gun control.

We're not sure what led to this early morning tirade against Alec(x?) Baldwin, but we're also sure it was Fox News.

Despite the initial stumbling block of typos and grammatical confusion, Trump's tweet quickly caught a round of support.

Many more, however, were simply confused that the 45th person to hold the highest office in our land chooses to spend his time in this manner.

Feeling besmirched, Baldwin felt the deep, dramatic need to respond to Trump on Twitter's turf with a mini tweet storm of his own.

Surely, this will once and for all settle this matter.
