Trump Calls SNL's Parody of Him a 'Hit Job'

By DAVID CAPLAN and MICHAEL EDISON HAYDEN - Oct 16, 2016, 11:56 AM ET

Donald Trump apparently didn't like Alec Baldwin's portrayal of him on Saturday Night Live and called the comedy show's parody of the second presidential debate a "hit job."

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

Last night's episode poked fun at both candidates' performance in the presidential debate, including the absence of a handshake between Trump and Hillary Clinton at the start of the debate, Trump's proclivity to hover behind Clinton as she spoke, and the emergence of undecided voter Ken Bone as an internet superstar.

5. The skit was lampooning Hillary as much as Trump. I haven't heard rebuttals from the Clinton camp

Even back in the primaries, they were taking pokes at Hillary, but she seemed to have taken them in stride.

Trump's the guy that about a third of the voters want to lead our country? An idiot who becomes pre-occupied with how comedy shows portray him. That's a man with priorities! It says as much about the guy's shaky mental state as anything.

6. My daughter and I laughed so hard

when "Trump" was stalking "Hillary" (truly captured the creepy factor) - and I loved when "Hillary" was introduced as the President.

Over at JPR, some were upset with the skit - thought it was unfair to Trump???????????????????

10. I'm guessing his rabid, mindless

goons will now go after SNL, saying the show, a fucking tv show ffs, is in the tank for Hillary. Never mind the fact that she's parodied as well. Numbskulls!!🙄😱😤

11. what a whiny baby

every POTUS candidate gets this done on them! Stupid Trumplethinskin!

12. If he had half a brain, and wasn't a psychopath...

...he'd arrange to go on the show himself, and do a skit with Baldwin as "him", laugh it off, and show he was a good sport. But since he doesn't have half a brain, and he *is* a psychopath, this idea just can't penetrate his mind...
