Donald Trump can't stop getting baited by SNL, labels show 'bad television' on Twitter after Alec Baldwin sketch
'Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job'

Over the weekend, SNL returned once more to American TV screens, hosted by British actor Felicity Jones. Of course, the cast couldn’t help themselves, deciding to mock Donald Trump over claims regarding a ‘pee pee party’ in an alleged Russian dossier.
The President-elect has once again been forced to use Twitter, calling the comedy show “the worst of NBC”, “not funny”, and “really bad television”.
“NBC News is bad,” the soon-to-be Leader of the Free World wrote on social media, “but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television!”
Whether or not you believe Trump’s Twitter behaviour to be presidential is beside the point: the Republican has attacked SNL on numerous occasions already, often picking out Alec Baldwin’s orange-faced impression for being particularly offensive.
Baldwin has previously promised the President-elect he would stop mocking him on one condition: the public release of his tax returns.
Unfortunately, SNL is not the only show Trump’s spent time harassing. Since winning the US election, Trump has been critical of New Celebrity Apprentice - a show he was the regular host of - and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Just four days until the inauguration!
