Even though he claims “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) isn’t funny anymore, President Donald Trump clearly still watches the comedy show, and he didn’t like the way they portrayed his national emergency announcement.
In the SNL skit, Alec Baldwin played Trump, and the mocking was immediate, with Baldwin/Trump telling reporters:
“Let’s cut to the chase, folks. We need wall. Okay? We have a tremendous amount of drugs flowing into the country from the southern border — or the brown line as many people have asked me not to call it.
“That’s why we need wall. Because wall works. Wall makes safe. You are not having to be smart to understand. In fact, it’s easier to understand if you are not that smart.”

In response, Trump was up bright and early Sunday morning, attacking NBC and the news media, at times in ALL CAPS, an indication of just how angry the thin-skinned president was:
Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!

THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!

It didn’t take long for social media to remind Trump that he’s acting like a 72-year-old infant:

Actually most of America thinks SNL is hilarious. You are just the brunt of the jokes all the time and your fragile ego can’t handle it, you Malignant Narcissist!

Poor @realDonaldTrump has to suffer through Baldwin’s impersonation of himself while the rest of us have to suffer through Trump’s impersonation of President of the united States??♂️

“Should be looked into?” What are you gonna do now… declare another FAKE ASS national emergency and censor free speech because @AlecBaldwin and #SNL bruised your fragile little manbaby ego? #Trump
