SNL takes a jab at Donald Trump, who doesn't like it
Source: CBS News
Saturday Night Live takes swings at all political candidates, regardless of party. And with Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon portraying Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, they keep hitting the mark.
The show has a long history of making fun of everyone with their impersonations. Both Baldwin and McKinnon have been praised for their spot-on impressions of celebrities, musicians and politicians. Trump has even joined in on the fun in the past while acting as a host.
On Saturdays broadcast of the show, the actors took on the second debate between Trump and Clinton, and the GOP nominee was the focus of some pointed satire from Baldwin.

After the show, Trump took to Twitter to let people know that once it gets personal, hes no longer laughing.
Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!

Poor wittle Donnie can't take a little laughter at his expense. He certainly is showing, yet again, that he doesn't have the temperament to be in politics (and especially the White House).
Also, here's the video:

(82,383 posts)Of course Trumpy can't take a joke. Hillary can and even went on the show to do a scene with her own impersonator!

(21,789 posts)Any political figure that can't tolerate getting parodied doesn't belong in the arena.
It's comes with the territory.

(12,448 posts)Donny Boy can't handle anything but syncophantic adoration. He's used his position all his life to demand flattery and obedience. He's running for president and he doesn't understand that ALL candidates at this level get poked fun at, particularly by SNL.
Love the skit! Alec Baldwin has the orange monster down pat!

drumpf doesn't even know the definition of the word

(22,897 posts)When did he last speak about the issues??
Yet he's mired down in petty grievances-- he's hopeless

(83,771 posts)Oh nos, how will I ever remember my facts and figures! How could you!
"Get real. I am made of steel, hi girls!"
I've watched it three times now, Cha. It was a hoot!
Cha
(297,241 posts)I've only seen it once so far.. savoring the second showing for later when I get back.
I actually laughed harder @ that one than all the others calling out trump.. and they were Damn Funny!
I Love it that trump has such a bummer on SNL in NYC! Perfect damn karma for him.

(297,241 posts)It wasn't so much funny to me as it was Brilliant.. but it was definitely funny in a low key way!
WOW! Thank you, she!
"I wrote that all by myself.." Alec Baldwin is having a blast! I bet his brother Stephen is Pissed!
sheshe2
(83,771 posts)Yes, it was brilliant, Cha!
SNL is outdoing themselves!
Cha
(297,241 posts)Yeah, no wonder he's pissed! 'Cause SNL freaking NAILED him to his gold plated WALL!
Can't thank you enough for posting that, she.. it was EPIC shit!!
Love your post.
Was it Ivanka that tore up the newspaper gagged and tossed it?
Cha
(297,241 posts)Maples!
Definitely have to see that one again.. pure genius! At the end when trump/Baldwin calls them to go with him.. everyone except Tiffany.
Turns out she's the lucky one. If I were her I would feel so vindicated after all these years of getting snubbed by the sexual predatory groper.
Marla must feel some satisfaction, too. Wonkette was speculating with strong circumstantial evidence that it was Marla who leaked trump's tax returns for 1994.
Who Sent The New York Times Donald Trumps Taxes? Were Gonna Go With Marla Maples

Yup, read Marla released the forms. Good on her!
Cha
(297,241 posts)Writers, Alec Baldwin, and Kate McKinnon

(83,771 posts)I thought Tina Fey was great as Palin. These two got it down as well.
They asked Hill if she wanted to respond to Trump....She said no I'm cool.!
Wish I could find a still shot.
This is all I got.
Cha
(297,241 posts)all laid back.. ".. No, I'm Cool.." After he completely annihilated Himself!
That scene above is funny, too! Alec really looks like trump from that angle.. Pretty sure he has extra padding to make him more trump.
Mahalo!

As for the orange con man, he's a textbook narcissist who can't abide criticism. He has been like that all his life. That's why he made that comment about women. He thinks that his money entitles him to have anything he wishes, including groping any woman he wants, even if it's against their will. It's going to be poetic justice that women voters are the ones who are going to take him down.

He makes the Joker seem rational
ProfessorGAC
(65,044 posts)He says the show is unfunny. He says the show is boring. He says the show should be canceled. Well, if he's right about that, then nobody is watching and the hit job won't make a difference. But, he's mad about the hit job affecting his chances.
Which is it? Boring, unfunny show nobody watches, or a show people are watching and has an impact? It can't be both, Donnie.
