Donald Trump thinks SNL is rigging the election and should be canceled

FFS! The guy is so far off the rails, he can't even find the tracks to get back on ... Yeah, OK Don, here, take your meds and don't quit taking them 'till after the election.

http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/16/media/donald-trump-snl/

Donald Trump thinks that even "Saturday Night Live" is part of a media conspiracy to bring down his presidential candidacy.
Saturday night, SNL opened with a mocking reenactment of the second presidential debate. The parody included the moderators taking shots, a kung fu style greeting between Trump and Hillary Clinton and an ode to town hall questioner -- and 15-minute celebrity -- Ken Bone.

But the biggest laughs came from Alec Baldwin's portrayal of a stalking, lewd, deceptive Trump. The live SNL audience was cracking up, but apparently the real Trump wasn't.

In a tweet, the Republican nominee said that Baldwin's portrayal "stinks." He also called on NBC to end its "boring and unfunny" show. And he said that SNL was trying to rig the election against him.

Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!

IMO, he's a basket case. If one took away his money, what would be left. I really have trouble comprehending the millions of Americans that just can't get what's going on with this guy. Plus, if a world leader, he would likely be among the most dangerous we've seen. History is filled with guys like this and what happened.

The sad part is, if one could peer into his mind, he likely thinks all of his supporters are losers, those that could not make it in life, and they are clueless as to what he really thinks. He's a Con Artist and those following him are real suckers. They WILL NOT fair well "IF" Trump were president, but they just don't get it. He's using them as pawns, by tapping into the hatred and dissatisfaction in America. I do think many of his supports have legitimate complaints and endless frustration, but Trump is not a solution.

Really, people need to take away the labels and look at the person. If he were a democrat, I would be saying the same!

HIS advantage. Frankly, I don't think he gives a F about them other than to use them. It's easy, because they are blinded by rage and hatred.

I think the US has let them down significantly over the years as endless jobs were gleefully shipped offshore, etc., etc. Some of these individuals were very highly skilled. There needed to be a transition plan, but as usual the bottom line of $$$$$'s was paramount, so as long as those that held the reins were making money, the rest got left out.

Life is extremely rough for millions and millions of Americans and often via no fault of their own. Trump is using that to his advantage, they are just pawns in the Trump machine. I find it all very very sad. Trump, will create a dystopia for them, they would not be happy with Trump-USA. ... but they remain clueless.

I really often feel like we're in some bizarre Twilight Zone episode.

He will use it to his advantage to stroke his ego and likely make some $$$$$'s off it into the future. I've wondered if it will be a new party. Many in the old GOP (if any moderates are left) would likely say good riddance.
