Trump threatens SNL with federal investigation for mocking him

EW ^ | March 17, 2019

[E. Pluribus Unum]

SNL is running a political campaign against Trump. That’s a political contribution.

[The Duke]

Why stop with SNL?

[griswold3]

Trump, even if joking, shouldn’t threaten investigations.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yes, you are right.

We all know liberal idiots run the TV networks, and we all know that any “comedy” or “jokes” will make Trump or conservatives the butt of the joke.

But I hate to go down the road of investigations into “equal time” or any other such issues, when seeing the “comedy” they are producing.

[PapaBear3625]

He shouldn't threaten. Just do it. Start an investigation as to whether SNL is doing an in-kind contribution to the Dems

I am not informed enough in this arena to know what crime is or may have been committed.

I want the leftist msm brought down more than anyone, but first, NO ONE is changing their vote because of an SNL skit.

And second, the msm are doing far worse things that are actually bordering on criminal.

Or I could be wrong all around :)

At first I was quick to dismiss the headline as ridiculous, then I read your post.

You're exactly correct. SNL has waged a 2+ year long political campaign against President Trump.

Now does this mean President Trump gets equal air time? Does NBC have to report the actors salaries and cost of airtime as a political contribution? Will the FEC investigate? What about the IRS - were any laws broken here?

Mr.President.please grow up.It hurts to be attacked and made fun of every day but that’s the price of being President and a Public figure.

Just remember that these idiots have a Constitutional right to make fun of you.

Just take what they throw your way and give it right back to them.You know how to do that.

[Hostage]

Yes.

I like his descriptor “The Other Side”.

[Sacajaweau]

Dear Media.....Her's a bone for you.

Love, the POTUS

[Gay State Conservative]

Not a good idea.Much better just to mock them back...or ignore them.Nobody watches anyway.The days when it was funny (the Belushi/Akroyd era) ended about 35 years ago years ago.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Oh pish! The Obama Administration weaponized EVERY aspect and institution of the government: IRS, CIA, FBI, NSA ...

And the media said and did nothing.

Go ahead, President Trump. Do whatever you feel is right.

Throw in the rest of the entertainment industry as well, including what passes for news.

[Electric Graffiti]

“There must be Collusion with the Democrats and, of course, Russia! “

The left are ‘all-in’ on taking you out and ruling forever in Amerika. FCC? I’d prefer you go full pinochet complete with helicopter rides.

Fine, as long as the Democrats leave Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro, and Greg Gutfield alone. Which they won't.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Something big is going to happen. There’s always some cheese-in-the-maze story that Trump talks about before the hammer comes down on something more significant.

[Carriage Hill]

No, not a smart move on his part.

[Not A Snowbird]

That’s hardly a threat.
