Trump was reportedly annoyed by the SNL Cold Open skit from February that depicted Steve Bannon as the grim reaper taking over the Oval Office, a GOP source told The Daily Beast. After watching it, Trump reportedly asked:
Did you see this crap?
Why it matters: This is an example of Trump's insecurity about Bannon's perceived role in the administration and influence over his agenda, which was instrumental in Bannon's removal from the NSC.

Some Republicans joined Democrats in criticizing President Trump Saturday night for taking executive action on coronavirus aid, with Democratic leaders demanding the GOP return to negotiations after stimulus package talks broke down a day earlier.
Why it matters: Trump could face legal challenges on his ability to act without congressional approval, where the power lies on federal spending. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) was the most vocal Republican critic, saying in a statement: "The pen-and-phone theory of executive lawmaking is unconstitutional slop."
