President-elect Donald Trump is not a fan of Saturday Night Live nor of Alec Baldwin impersonating him on SNL. Trump criticized SNL and Baldwin on Twitter after this weekend’s show.
This week’s episode of SNL opened with Baldwin impersonating Trump in a sketch that made fun of Trump using Twitter. In the sketch Trump keeps gets distracted by Twitter on his phone while trying to be briefed about Syria. Trump’s advisor Kellyanne Conway, played by Kate McKinnon, tries to explain Trump’s tweeting by saying:
“You see, there is a reason actually that Donald tweets so much, He does it to distract the media from his business conflicts and all the scary people in his Cabinet.”
Baldwin’s Trump responds by saying “Actually, that’s not why I do it. I do it because my brain is bad.”
Before SNL ended on Saturday night Trump criticized the show and Baldwin on Twitter.
“Just tried watching Saturday Night Live – unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse. Sad,” Trump tweeted.

Release your tax returns and I'll stop.

@realDonaldTrump (cont) anything better to do than tweet abt a comedy show. You know that actual lives are at stake, right? You're pathetic.

We'll have to wait and see if Trump does release his tax returns and if Baldwin will stop impersonating him if he does.
