I Know What The Ultimate Blow Can Be To Destroy Trump.....

Saturday Night Live should make a statement next Saturday saying they will not do any more skits/spoofs/jokes etc about Trump. What he has done - sexual assault - is not funny and we will not make it a joke. We are appalled by his behavior and as far as we are concerned - he is dead to us. He will not be a part of our shows - going forward.

This should be followed up by all the late night comedians - Fallon, Cobert, Kimmel, O'Brien, Meyers - following suit and drop Trump from their monologues as well and for the same reasons.

Continually making fun of Trump - especially under the circumstances of what he's done - is not a laughing matter. The cast of SNL and all the comedians - should take a stand here and do this in respect for all the women that Trump has physically and mentally harmed.

I know that Trump is comedy gold to them - but what Trump has said, done and acted on is despicable and is not funny.

Donald Trump would be crushed by such actions. His ego couldn't handle it.

You got to know that he eats it up when they make him the butt of a joke.

Stopping it would just do him in.

Think of how the MSM would react to such an action. This would be a crushing blow.

This guy is dangerous. I hate what he's done to women.

Normally, we could consider his candidacy as dead. But this election cycle seems a little crazy.

So if they pound a few more nails in his political coffin with jokes that make sure to keep men, women and children safer, I'm ok with it on that basis.

I do appreciate your idea.

I think he was impersonating Alec Baldwin in debate #2.

It gets under his skin.

It keeps him in the spotlight. I believe that he thinks even negative publicity is good publicity.

The only thing that I believe that will wound him is to ignore him. Wipe him from the spotlight. And the first place to do that is with SNL and the late night comedians.

That is my opinion of course and I respect what you are saying.

But just think about this - what if Alec Baldwin - started the next show - as himself - saying that he will no longer do the Trump impersonation - because he cannot condone - even by making fun of Trump - this gross behavior - and he will not dishonor women who were impacted by Trump by continuing that act.
