Donald Trump tweeted that Saturday Night Live is "unwatchable" and "totally biased," after Alec Baldwin impersonated him in a cold open sketch mocking his tweets.
Saturday's episode featured Baldwin as the president-elect constantly distracted by his Twitter feed during a national security briefing. The sketch opened in a classroom, where a high school student named Seth was retweeted by Trump--recalling Trump's real retweet of a 16-year-old named Seth, who attacked CNN over its coverage of Trump's false claim that millions of people voted illegally.

Darrell Hammond was better at playing Trump. Alec Baldwin is just mean, nasty, and unfunny.
Really? Prove it was false...or STFU.
Except for the occasional clips posted on the Internet, I haven’t watched SNL in years.
Generally you don’t prove a negative.
I think President elect Trump would be wise not to talk about voter fraud in Aj election he won and continue getting ready to lead
Stupid tweet - Attacking the media works and needs to be done. Attacking comedy, no matter how biased, is a losing proposition.
Trump needs someone with a brain to vet his tweets. He should remain an attack dog - but be presidential while doing it.
I think you’re right. He needs to have Ann Coulter ghost write his Tweets.
Are you implying that Trump lacks a brain himself?
Donald needs to evict Alec Baldwin and SNL from his brain
It’s political satire not world affairs
..... Would love to see Trump appoint a commission to sift through entirety of the Nations Ballots that were just cast in this General Election and compare them to the Voters lists to prove once and for all that we need State and even National Voter ID Laws to be put into place and a new Voter Registration to do so.
..... It's time for this Freak'n mess to be clean up. We may never get another chance to do so.
You really don't get Trump. He is a counter-puncher and narrative-setter. Going after SNL exposes them for who they are.
BTW Trump doesn't have an issue with clean comedy directed at him, he's attacking the Left at the source.
Trump should be a guest on SNL before the inauguration.
What a fun way to show that he’s cool and that he won.
Are you asserting that SNL is comedy?
He kind of did what they’re making fun of him for doing. A better way of handling it would be to ignore it and if ever asked say he hasn’t watched it in years.
Sometimes it’s better to own the charecature, and the negative aspects of your personality can become reasons why people like you. They made fun of Clinton for being a womanizer and Bush for being not so bright but in a weird backwards way it almost worked in their favor.
I don’t like people who can’t make fun of themselves.
The commies even put it in their headlines. They would never say such a thing about their beloved fools.
Your post would have been perfect had it been only this.
Watched it. It was a little funny.
I didn’t like the way they portrayed Conway.
Trump won. He’s going to be the target of SNL for the next 8 years. He might as well get used to it.
It's totally hilarious.
Like liberals, you are responding to what you, personally, narcissistically like or dislike, then treating that as some kind of wisdom and expertise - wisdom that Trump needs from you when what you would be better served paying attention to is what works in this real world.
Every since Trump starting insulting Ted, I've been reading these 'Trump needs to do this, should do that ... presidential blah blah blah.
Seriously - maybe give him some advice on how to build a resort while you're at it. What color he should make the stair rails or counter tops.
I'm not saying Trump is perfect, but I am saying - this cliche shallow criticism reflects a style of thinking that is more liberal than rational.
For those posting the 'Trump NEEDS to do this or that' stuff ... Trump is not concerned with your sensibilities or preferences. His tweets are cold hard calculations designed to accomplish something. He gets the double benefit that people call him an idiot whenever he does it - or at least call his doing so idiotic.
He's trolling the dems and yet you are getting caught in his net.
Please get out of his net and leave more room for dems. Or not. It's fine with me - you are providing me as much entertainment as the dems who are emotionally affected by his toying with their undisciplined psyches - all the while calling his undisciplined.
If I remember right, He didn’t complain about his roast. He was hammered with hardcore jokes and took it in stride.
