Trump Takes to Twitter to Criticize SNL’s Portrayal of His Twitter Use

HeadlineDec 05, 2016

In other news, President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter early on Sunday to slam the latest episode of “Saturday Night Live.” He wrote, “Just tried watching Saturday Night Live–unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the [Alec] Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse. Sad.” Trump wrote the message shortly after Baldwin poked fun of Trump’s use of Twitter on the show.

Alec Baldwin (Impersonating Trump): “Kellyanne, I just retweeted the best tweet. I mean, wow, what a great, smart tweet.”

Security Adviser: “Mr Trump, we’re in a security briefing.”

Baldwin: “I know, but this could not wait. It was from a young man named Seth. He’s 16. He’s in high school. And I really did retweet him. Seriously, this is real.”

On Sunday, Alec Baldwin responded to Trump on Twitter. Baldwin wrote: “@realDonaldTrump. Release your tax returns and I’ll stop. Ha.”
