Rosie O'Donnell is reportedly open to playing President Donald Trump's key advisor Steve Bannon on Saturday Night Live.

O'Donnell, who has a long-standing feud with Trump, might take the opportunity to get under his skin once again by playing one of his closest allies. O'Donnell replied to some Twitter inquires on Monday about her playing someone on Trump's team for SNL:

"I am here to serve - [Alec Baldwin] has trump - [Melissa McCarthy] has [Sean Spicer] - I would need a few days to prepare - so if called - I will be ready," she tweeted at one user. She told another user, "available - if called I will serve".

This comes after a new Politico report claiming President Trump and his team were really affected by McCarthy's portrayal of Spicer on the latest show. McCarthy played Spicer as a brash, incompetent press secretary but what really got under Trump's skin? The fact that he was played by a woman.

"More than being lampooned as a press secretary who makes up facts, it was Spicer's portrayal by a woman that was most problematic in the president's eyes, according to sources close to him," reports Politico.

"Trump doesn't like his people to look weak," a Trump donor said.

President Trump has been very sensitive about his portrayal on SNL, frequently tweeting and speaking in interviews about Baldwin's impression of him.

"Well, I hosted 'SNL' when it was a good show, but it's not a good show anymore," Trump told Today in December. "Nothing to do with me - there's nothing funny about it. The skits are terrible. I mean, I like Alec, but his imitation of me is really mean-spirited and not very good. I don't think it's good. I do like him, and I like him as an actor, but I don't think his imitation of me gets me at all. And it's meant to be very mean-spirited, which is very biased. I don't like it. So I can tweet that out."

Baldwin is actually hosting this Saturday's episode of SNL, so it will surely be must-see TV.
