Not to step on Pilar Collthe joke too much here, but what Lin-Manuel Miranda is saying is that Donald Trump threw away his shot.

After a Saturday Night Liveopener ripped from the Saturday morning headlines -- Alec Baldwin as Trump clumsily "apple-agized" for his hot-mic "locker-room talk" while Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton chugged champagne in celebration -- the Hamiltoncreator took his rightful place on the SNL stage.

"It takes me seven years to write a show, so I don't know when I'm going to be back here again," Miranda joked, implying that yes, this was his own ... shot.

"I was just trying to look cool. I was trying to impress theBilly Bush," Baldwin-Trump said, one of a flurry of excuses. "This was way back in 2005 ... when I was a young, childish 59-year-old man."

Of course, once his bizarre and baffled interview was over and the camera panned away, Trump was at it again.
