After the report on how President Donald Trump reacted negatively to Melissa McCarthy in drag embodying his Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Saturday Night Live, Rosie O'Donnell has said she would impersonate Chief Strategist Steve Bannon on the show.

McCarthy's portrayal of Spicer left Trump deeply unimpressed, sources said after the clip aired, but it also left viewers longing for more comedic clips featuring Trump Staffers.

After Politico released a report saying that the aspect of the sketch that bothered the President the most was the fact that his administration member was played by a woman, social media users took to Twitter calling for some of Trump's least favorite actresses to join the show. 

Several people suggested O'Donnell play Bannon, and she is apparently all in.

Rosie O'Donnell has said she would impersonate Steve Bannon on Saturday Night Live after President Donald Trump reacted negatively to Melissa McCarthy's embodiment of Sean Spicer. Her announcement came after several people on Twitter suggested her for the role

 

O'Donnell retweeted one person, saying she's available, adding: 'If called I will serve !!!'

She tweeted back at one person, saying that if she got the call she 'would need to have a few days to prepare' and 'will be ready.'

Other people on Twitter suggested that Meryl Streep take up the role of Bannon. One person suggested Ellen Degeneres impersonate Vice President Mike Pence.

Trump and O'Donnell have been embattled in a decade-long feud that kicked off long before the November 8 election.

It began in 2006 when O'Donnell was a host on The View and continued for years. Throughout Trump's campaign for the White House, O'Donnell regularly took swipes at the president-elect. 

Last week's Saturday Night Live featured a skit by Melissa McCarthy in which she played a belligerent Sean Spicer

The 70-year-old has labelled her a 'fat pig', 'slob' and 'total degenerate' over the years and even brought her up in the presidential debates.

Trump was uncharacteristically silent about this weekend's show, having repeatedly attacked it in the past on Twitter for Alec Baldwin's impression of him.

According to insiders, this is a sign of how uncomfortable Trump is with the merciless lampooning of Spicer by McCarthy who played him as unhinged and easily rattled.

And according to Politico, White House insiders have said they worry now for Spicer's 'longevity' in the image conscious world of the Trump White House.

'Trump doesn't like his people to look weak,' added a top Trump donor.

Following the episode, the President was surprisingly absent from Twitter, where he usually mocks the show, calling it 'unfunny' or 'unoriginal'.

After Politico released a report saying that what bothered Trump the most was the fact that Spicer was played by a woman, social media users took to Twitter calling for some of Trump's least favorite actresses to join the Saturday Night Live

TWITTER FANCASTS WHITE HOUSE ROLES AFTER TRUMP'S REACTION TO MELISSA MCCARTHY'S SPICER

After the report on how President Trump reacted negatively to Melissa McCarthy in drag embodying his Press Secretary Sean Spicer, a lot of people have taken to Twitter to make suggestions on other women who could play members of the Trump administration on SNL. 

The aspect of the sketch that bothered the President the most was apparently the fact that his administration member was played by a woman. 

The Politico report has sparked major interest on twitter, with many people calling for some of Trump's least favorite actresses to join the show, such as Meryl Streep and Rosie O'Donnell. 

O'Donnell tweeted back at one person, saying that if she got the call she 'would need to have a few days to prepare' and 'will be ready.'  

Spicer has, for weeks, been trying to repair his first impression behind the podium as Press Secretary, and find the right balance between representing an administration that considers the media to be the opposition, but also developing a functional relationship with the press.

He is still clouded by his first impression as Press Secretary, in which he made false statements about the size of the crowd at Trump's inauguration and refused to take questions.

Senior White House officials Kellyanne Conway and Hope Hicks still attend the daily briefings and sit on the side to watch him, which signals that the administration may think their pick still needs some supervision, reported Politico.

Insiders say he was not the first choice for the job.

However, he has taken on the role seriously, and has added difficulty of doing two jobs at once while the administration seeks to fill his former job as communications director, according to Politico.

He said in a phone interview on Monday that it doesn't really matter what he thinks about the skit, and that: 'I would much rather have the focus be on the president's agenda and the success he's having.'
