Saturday Night Live makes fun of Donald Trump’s Twitter habits—and the real Trump responds on Twitter

Saturday Night Live can’t get enough of Donald Trump. And Trump, who continues to watch and tweet about the show, apparently can’t get enough of SNL.

SNL’s latest skit, featuring Alec Baldwin as Trump, mocked the president-elect’s unrestrained Twitter habits, particularly his retweeting of ostensibly random supporters.

“He really did do this,” Kate McKinnon, as Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, reminds the audience.

“I do it because my brain is bad,” explains Trump (Baldwin), dismissing the theory that he utilizes his Twitter account to distract from more serious issues.

Once again, Trump did not enjoy that take and tweeted mid-show that SNL was “unwatchable” and “totally biased.”

The early-morning tweet was the third time the president-elect has blasted SNL on Twitter in the last two months.

Twenty minutes later, Baldwin tweeted back, with a laugh, that he would stop impersonating Trump if he releases his tax returns.
