Looks like Alec Baldwin is not done with Donald Trump just yet.

Through the official Twitter account for the Alec Baldwin Foundation, the 58-year-old actor tweeted a series of posts hinting at his return.

One particular post showed a photo of himself backstage at 'SNL' dressed like the president-elect with the caption ". @snl tonight" implying that he will appear on tonight's show.

"I won't apple-agize," Baldwin wrote, referencing his own caricature of Trump. "Tonight at 11:30. Live."

Baldwin took to another social media post to taunt Trump by writing, "Trump is like that biker the girl brings home. DAD: You're not marrying him. GIRL: Yes I am! I LOVE WAYNE!!!!"

 

Presumably, this is in response to Trump's displeasure, considering the president-elect's repeated bashing of the NBC show as "totally one-sided," "biased," "unwatchable" and a "hit job."

He has also said that Baldwin's performance "stinks" and "just can't get any worse."

On the other hand, the '30 Rock' actor has actively engaged Trump's criticism.

On December 4 he offered to stop the impression if the 70-year-old businessman and politician releases his tax returns. On November 20, Baldwin responded, "Election is over. There is no more equal time" to Trump's complaint that said the show does not mock both sides of politics.

Casey Affleck will host the December 17 show of 'SNL' to promote his film 'Manchester by the Sea,' joined by musical guest Chance the Rapper.
