Trump Blasts SNL For Brutal Parody Of Press Conference, Gets Mocked On Twitter
“Not Funny, Cast Is Terrible, Always A Complete Hit Job. Really Bad Television!” President-Elect Tweets
In case you missed it, SNL brutally mocked President-elect’s first press conference in six months last night (video above).Â
On Sunday, Trump took to Twitter to respond the show’s “Cold Open”:Â
.@NBCNews is bad but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television!

Earlier Sunday, incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer called SNL “inappropriate,” “unfunny” and “a left-wing hit job”:
.@SeanSpicer calls SNL inappropriate & not funny for including sexual innuendo in Alec Baldwin skit #Mediabuzz https://t.co/FQTlMaMJrA

And here’s how Twitter responded to Trump: Â Â
Yeah – flash in the pan show. It probably won’t last more than one or two seasons at most. https://t.co/NgtYkObaqK

So @realDonaldTrump is tweeting about SNL again, maybe to distract us from this hideous interview? https://t.co/s2zCRz4yxl

After all day of PEOTUS not reacting childishly to SNL, was beginning to think he had turned over a new presidential leaf. https://t.co/ae3beZmdNV

And don’t forget NBC put on that crap “Apprentice” show, with the weak host with the bad hair, that sank from 7th to 84th in the ratings! https://t.co/CgxNNCKKGA
