Rosie O’Donnell has updated her Twitter profile picture to a mash-up of her face with Trump advisor Steve Bannon‘s and THIS IS HAPPENING, PEOPLE.

“More than being lampooned as a press secretary who makes up facts, it was Spicer’s portrayal by a woman that was most problematic in the president’s eyes, according to sources close to him. And the unflattering send-up by a female comedian was not considered helpful for Spicer’s longevity in the grueling, high-profile job in which he has struggled to strike the right balance between representing an administration that considers the media the “opposition party,” and developing a functional relationship with the press.”

SNL it’s time. Cast Rosie O’Donnell as Bannon, the world needs this. We will never ask for another thing again. pic.twitter.com/54jj62ZFni
