1. Here we go

Comrade Casino's typical Republican whining is just going to call massive attention to SNL, and blast it into the viral zone. An instant classic.

[treestar]

2. What a big baby

meanwhile everyone else thought it was hilarious.

He thinks he can simply declare a thing and make it so.

[cwydro]

3. Looks like SNL hit a nerve.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Alec Baldwin DOES look like he's really enjoying himself.

[lapfog_1]

5. awwwwe Donald

what happened to "any publicity is good publicity!"

[eShirl]

6. Now would be a good time for SNL to make the "Trump Chicken" sketch available again, in full.

[Submariner]

19. Get this on Facebook and Twitter

I would if I was on either. The Donald is the best chicken I've ever seen. No one plays a yellow piece of chickenshit better than he can!

[randome]

22. He seems like a very different man in those clips. Funny and confident.

Wonder where he went wrong.

7. Purrr

SNL

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. You picked a great target, Donald. Yes-sir-eee.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

9. Geez, Cheesehead, lighten up.

[unblock]

10. Lorne Michaels once said snl was never very funny

After the original cast had graduated and people pined for the good ole days. People complained that it wasn't funny anymore and he said it was never very funny.

There's often only one joke for an entire skit, and they lean heavily on repetition, both within a skit and from week to week. Reasonably enough, as it's basically improv.

Of course, it's even harder with trump stealing all the good punch lines...

[NightWatcher]

11. Look in the gold plated mirror Don, you're your own horrible satire and Alec is nailing it.

[LisaM]

12. Alec Baldwin is scary good at it.

It isn't just that he sounds and looks like him, he has the menacing physical presence down, too.

[milestogo]

16. Alec Baldwin is a narcissist too

Not that he isn't very good at what he does.

[LisaM]

17. But he CAN make fun of himself.

He does it all the time in ads.

[obamanut2012]

21. lololololololololololol

[Paladin]

13. Boo-fucking-hoo.

Trump's throwing a tantrum over SNL? Yeah, there's the sort of temperament a president ought to have. Whiny trust fund baby-man.......

[Cryptoad]

18. looking at the latest polls,,,

looks like the hit job is working,,,,,,,,,,real good

[PatSeg]

20. Waaaaaa............

[LynneSin]

23. Trump just wrote the opening sketch for next week

I can already see Baldwin's Trump doing Twitter posts and Lorne Michaels coming out and making snide comments!

[Buzz Clik]

24. Donald -- learn when to STFU.

[edbermac]

25. I hope Alec wins an Emmy for this.

That would be soooo sweet when he thanks Donald!

[Chicago1980]

26. It would be funny if next week, SNL does a skit of Trump/Baldwin tweeting against SNL

[meadowlark5]

27. I was surprised he didn't go on an angry tweet tantrum last week

But I think KellyAnne still had his phone in her purse. But that shackles are off and he has his phone back.

[IronLionZion]

28. Trump is making SNL funny again!

I love it!

And oh yeah sure, he thinks SNL is the media. Yup. SNL is rigging the election.

[smirkymonkey]

29. Nailed it!

Hysterical!

[Orrex]

30. Ergo: NBC will give him at least one more SNL hosting gig before Nov 8

Because they have to be ready to service their favorite alpha male whenever he demands it.

[SeattleVet]

31. Some of the responses to his tantrum are great, though!

.@realDonaldTrump Didn’t catch the name of the show, but you should be more angry about the buffoon portraying you last Sunday night.

@realDonaldTrump I wish Alec Baldwin was running and not you

32. Trump supporters are trashing twitter = #HillaryGropedMe is trending

#HillaryGropedMe is trending on Twitter

beth loves ghosts,so ?@bourgeoisalien
I guess the main reason I'm proud to be a liberal is that we would never start a hashtag to mock victims of sexual assault #HillaryGropedMe

[Helen Borg]

33. Alec is in trouble now!

[Puzzler]

34. Assuming that there are no more...

... Trumpian "bombshells" over the next few days (which is about as likely as Wayne LaPierre of the NRA getting the Nobel Peace Prize)... then yeah: Trump's pretty much written the next SNL Trump sketch for them.

And ditto the comments about Alec Baldwin's Trump. Baldwin's Trump, IMO is stunningly good. His looming over "Hillary" on the latest SNL skit was priceless. Unfortunately it was not that far from reality. Which, incidentally, seems to be the case with Trump on a daily basis.

On a personal note, over the last week or two, I've been finding it increasingly difficult to laugh at anything Trump does. Sexual assault, other related "issues", and Trump's heavily armed Brownshirts are no laughing matter. And I seriously think Trump and/or some of his cult members, may go completely off "the rails" within the upcoming weeks. (And I'd be very happy to be proven utterly wrong)

[malaise]

40. Don't assume that

I expect 'one a day' - like vitamins

[Puzzler]

41. Indeed...

... but I was using the word in the conditional sense, rather than mean the "I assume this to be fact" sense.

But point taken.

[Gothmog]

35. SNL did a decent job on this song/skit

[SharonClark]

36. That skit was brilliant!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

37. Yo, Agent Orange, question...

If ya can't take the heat, why did you jump into the blast furnace in the first place?

The world of politics is no place for spineless ones like yourself.

[47of74]

38. Excellent Question. Yeah, Orange Anus, please answer that question.

[47of74]

39. Trump reminds me of Cartagia in Babylon 5.

His SNL rant reminds me of this scene...

[pinboy3niner]

42. What's all this fuss about bald men on television?

[oberliner]

43. One of the worst SNL's in recent memory

Was the one that he hosted during the primaries.
