Saturday Night Live Rips Into Donald Trump For Addiction To Twitter -- And He Fires Back!

When Donald Trump won the presidential election, there was one thing we knew for sure: We'd be seeing a LOT more of Alec Baldwin on Saturday Night Live. But apparently our new commander-in-chief just can't deal with Baldwin's wig and pouty faces, no matter how on point they may be.
Last night SNL went after Donald for his addiction to tweeting, and during what was supposed to be an important security briefing, they show the star glued to his phone -- and Twitter. “There is a reason the Donald tweets so much,†Kellyanne Conway (played by Kate McKinnon) says in the sketch. “He does it to distract the media from his various business conflicts and all the scary people in his Cabinet.â€
“Actually, that’s not why I do it,†Trump replied. “I do it because my brain is bad.†Hmm, maybe the writing could have been a bit better, but they've got a point! The sketch also showed a few different Twitter users whom Trump has actually retweeted, including a 16-year-old high school student, a man with a profile photo featuring a skull with guns and a man thinks liberalism is a mental disease.
Of course, Trump took the bait and couldn't help but tweet a response. “Just tried watching Saturday Night Live – unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse. Sad,†he wrote.
Should Donald ease up on Twitter? You know, and do more important things like figure out how to run our country?
