Trump Bashes 'Saturday Night Live' in Tweetstorm

To paraphrase one Twitter user gone viral over the entire thing, dude, pick your (*)(*)(*)(*)ing battles.

Again, yes again, via Twitter, the president elect attack a show he he has called unwatchable, meaning he watched it. He called it bias, again, even though it is a comedy sketch show.

Yes, once again Trump went off about Saturday Night Live's sketch mocking him. The future leader of the free world took to social media to criticize a comedy show for what I believe to be the 4th time.

What is the most amazingly ironic thing about this was the sketch he attacking was making fun of his use of Twitter.

In the most amazingly hilarious moment, Alec Baldwin, whose caricature of Trump gets more outrageous each week, said he would stop if Trump woudl release his taxes.

President-elect Donald Trump has again used Twitter to fire back at 'Saturday Night Live' for making fun of him.

An 'SNL' parody last weekend suggested that Trump had better things to do than tweet about how great he is and how objectionable his adversaries are. The skit featured actor Alec Baldwin, impersonating Trump, repeatedly interrupting a security briefing to tweet, even though his faux aides nervously told him he needed to buckle down and start learning about world hot spots. In the skit, Baldwin-as-Trump got distracted by tweets from strangers, including one from a 16-year-old boy, and couldn't focus on the briefing.




The real Trump took the bait, which he has done before when the popular comedy show made fun of him, and the president-elect responded with a snarky tweet at 12:13 a.m. Sunday: "Just tried watching Saturday Night Live--unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad."

This is Trump's pattern. Twitter is one of his favorite ways to communicate, and he uses it often to inform his millions of Twitter followers. Trump also gets large amounts of news-media attention this way.

Some critics argue that he uses Twitter to change the subject from troublesome issues – a point made by the 'SNL' skit Saturday night.

Responding to Trump's tweet, Baldwin replied on the same social-media platform: "Release your tax returns and I'll stop. Ha."

On a more serious note, Trump used Twitter Sunday to criticize China for keeping its currency artificially low and for acting in a threatening way in the South China Sea.

Did China ask us if it was OK to devalue their currency (making it hard for our companies to compete), heavily tax our products going into..

their country (the U.S. doesn't tax them) or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea? I don't think so!

This came after a phone call Friday between Trump and Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, to which Chinese leaders on the mainland objected for bestowing too much recognition on Taiwan. China's government considers the island part of its territory. Trump aides said it was a congratulatory call after Trump's election victory Nov. 8.

But Christopher Hill, a former U.S. ambassador to Iraq, told CNN that Trump was "winging it" and didn't seem to know the significance of what he was d

 

Saturday Night Live has been going downhill for a long time, they suck. Trump speaks for the majority of Americans. He didn't take any bait, he stated what most of us think.

 

SNL should be thankful for Trumps free publicity.

They haven't had higher ratings in the last decade.

And Baldwin should also be thanking Trump for keeping his career alive long past the point where one would logically expect.

But why shouldn't Trump mock the mockable?

SNL is rubbish and having Trump say so is just as satisfying as when Obama called Kanye a jackass.

 

It was a stupid skit. I watched it.

Just dumb.

 

Just more rage from the MSM at Trump circumventing them and hitting them in the wallet. They feasted on Trump while they sold away their future business model for partisanship, now get ready for several of these fake outrage stories daily... because to the left, that's "news," and to the LW posters here, getting their political knowledge from Colbert, Maher, et al, that's "political discussion" and "current events in politics." What a joke, and the American people know it full well.

Also, anyone who claims that SNL is not completely left biased in its parodies is an abject cretin.

 

Trump should do a homage of Baldwin going off on a rage fit.

...also don't forget China.

Trump should let them know he is not their (*)(*)(*)(*)(*), he will talk to whoever he wants to...China (*)(*)(*)(*) off.

 

Who gives a (*)(*)(*)(*)? Seriously why do you keep making these?

 

Has there even been a more sensitive whiny global leader?

 

Trump is pathetic. Very low energy. SAD!

We'll just add that to the list:

Most divisive.
Most corrupt.
Most whiny.
Most juvenile.

Knowing the current state of right-wing politics, I'd say that Trump "Tweetstorm" Trump is their perfect leader.

 

Agree! I think Conservatives (finally) have had enough of the (crazy) leftist's portrayal of them. It really has become outdated.

 

True he should have claimed they were racist or sexist....

 

94 million people unemployed in this country and Trump focuses his energy on Saturday Night Live.

This is Trump's amerika

 

These tweets show what a whiny immature crybaby trump is. And he's going to be POTUS. God help America.

 

And that is the point. I mean if he keeps up this sort of behaviour as president it will demonstrate that (a) he doesn't know what his job is (b) he's not doing much of it anyway and (c) someone else is running the store.

 

President elect Trump can Tweet whatever he wants. He is covered for his free speech. Others should just get over it already.

So Trump is a crybaby and those still butthurt over him winning are not? Hahahaha!

 

Hell, I'll admit it's better for the country if the bloated man child focuses on tweeting instead of crapping all over the country with his garbage policies. So the more he focuses on Twitter instead of governing, the better. The less he's involved in the presidency, the better.

 

Well sure, he can Tweet whatever he likes.

And the beauty of this country is I can say he is idiotic for the drrivel that comes out of him.

 

These endless meaningless Trump spam threads are really starting to make this forum look like a joke. It is like an attempt to push legitimate threads off the first page.

 

Yeah, it's kind of like 8 years of Obama spam threads.

Get used to it.

It's fun!!!

Lol

 

....sure you can as the rest of us laugh at you.

Trump has gotten tons done and has not even taken office yet. He can walk and chew gum at the same time. Instead of playing golf he will be working hard on the policies that will make libs cry for years to come. LOL!

 

Yes because a single tweet takes so long... You do know HRC has an account as well yes?

 

Part of me thinks Trump should just ignore this crap but that's what bush did and the constant assault by left wing media drug his poll numbers into the toilet. A Republican president is in a tough spot, damned if you do damned if you don't. Having said that I think the American public is on to the media games now and the fact that Trump got elected is evidence of that so IMO he should ignore it.

 

Hrc is history. She lost. Is out of politics. Is nothing.

Trump spends his time tweeting while 94 million Americans are out of work and he whines on twitter.

Focus on the present, not loser HRC

 

Trump is still President-elect i hardly think complaining about a 3 second tweet valid.. 94 million out of work you say? Who is the current President as wtf has he done in 8 years hmm?

 

94 million. Yes. What is Trump going to do about this. Complain about it on twitter?

How will he get this number down and Americans working?
