Listen, if there’s one person you don’t want to annoy before their morning coffee, it’s Alec Baldwin. But clearly, one brave (or clueless) Donald Trump impersonator did not get that memo.
Baldwin was just minding his business, doing something as thrilling as loading luggage into his SUV in NYC, when a Trump knockoff—one Jason Scoop—decided this was the perfect time to poke the bear. And by “poke,” we mean verbally poke. Because we all know if this was a real poke, Baldwin’s reaction might’ve made the news for other reasons.
The Art of Bad Decisions
So there’s Alec, probably just wanting to get to his next destination without unnecessary drama. Enter Jason Scoop, who starts dropping the world’s most annoying stand-up routine, heckling Baldwin about everything from the 2024 election to his very chill and totally not stressful criminal case.
The best part? Baldwin initially TRIES to ignore him. You can almost hear the internal monologue: Don’t engage. Don’t engage. Okay, deep breath. He’ll go away if I pretend he’s not real… Spoiler alert: He did NOT go away.
Troll Level: Professional
Scoop, who has clearly mastered the fine art of getting under people’s skin, decides to remind Baldwin that Kamala Harris lost the election—something Baldwin, who once proudly roasted Trump on SNL, definitely wanted to hear before noon.
But wait! It gets worse. Because when you’re already standing next to a man with a well-documented temper, why not bring up the one thing guaranteed to send him into orbit? Yes, Scoop went there. Straight to Rust town.
He accuses Baldwin of not wanting a pardon for what he calls “murdering that woman in cold blood.” And because there’s never a wrong time for a supernatural twist, he even claims the late Halyna Hutchins is “looking down on him” and thanking him for confronting Baldwin.
Aaaaaaand that’s when the Baldwin Volcano finally erupts.
What Happens Next? Oh, You’ll Want to See This…
Baldwin snaps, gets all up in Scoop’s face, and gives him the kind of I-will-end-you stare that could fry an egg on the sidewalk.
What happens after that? Well, that’s for you to find out. But let’s just say: if Alec Baldwin’s life were a reality show, this moment would be the season finale cliffhanger. 🍿
