Donald Trump thinks SNL is rigging the election and should be canceled

Donald Trump thinks SNL is rigging the election and should be canceled

 by David Goldman   @DavidGoldmanCNN October 16, 2016: 9:04 AM ET

Donald Trump thinks that even "Saturday Night Live" is part of a media conspiracy to bring down his presidential candidacy.

Saturday night, SNL opened with a mocking reenactment of the second presidential debate. The parody included the moderators taking shots, a kung fu style greeting between Trump and Hillary Clinton and an ode to town hall questioner -- and 15-minute celebrity -- Ken Bone.

But the biggest laughs came from Alec Baldwin's portrayal of a stalking, lewd, deceptive Trump. The live SNL audience was cracking up, but apparently the real Trump wasn't.

In a tweet, the Republican nominee said that Baldwin's portrayal "stinks." He also called on NBC to end its "boring and unfunny" show. And he said that SNL was trying to rig the election against him.

As CNNMoney's Brian Stelter noted, Trump sang quite a different tune 11 months ago, when he hosted the show. It was the second time he appeared on the show -- he also hosted in 2004, though he has been impersonated dozens of times.

 Trump has been increasingly targeting the media as the culprit of his poor polling numbers. He has repeated the refrain of a "rigged" election since the virtually tied race started to slip away from him following the first debate on September 26. Since then, Clinton has led most polls by a comfortable margin.

Though attacks on the press from political candidates are nothing new (Clinton has expressed her fair share of gripes), Stelter notes that Trump's position is far more extreme than his predecessors.

SNL cold opens with Alec Baldwin have been hilarious.  If there is one aspect of this election we can review and smile about, this is it.

Imaging a Trump White House:

January 23rd, 2017 - 3:00 AM

White House Chief of Staff – “Mr. President! The Russians have just invaded Poland and North Korea just launched a nuke against South Korea!!!”

President Trump: “Don’t bother me with that stuff. Can’t you see I busy tweeting? SNL did a hit job on me last night and a 13-year-old girl - very unattractive by the way, posted an unflattering meme about me on Facebook. I must respond to those! Get Pence to take care of that other stuff. Oh and BTW, I told Putin that that Poland thing was OK.”

In my experience with liberals, I have learned to never ever ever ever underestimate their ability to achieve greater levels of stupidity that you think possible. Yet I am constantly amazed at just how stupid they WILL get. Invariably.

No joke. I've done this for a while now. Try it and see...Every day spend 5 min looking online for stupid liberal tricks. I promise you will find one greater than the day before. It's educational AND entertaining. But also depressing.

Flashback:

NBC had to give his primary challengers "equal time" because they let Trump host SNL.

Alec Baldwin is nailing it.  I saw a woman comment on a friends facebook post that it was terrible because they were "making Trump look old and fat and he wasn't!"  LOL, um, he certainly is! 

Maybe Trump liked it better when he hosted it:

Trump sits sternly at desk in Oval Office.

"Mr. Trump, we have to go." black-suited man in sunglasses says

"No, I'm not leaving! I'm staying right here."

"Sir, we really have to go."

"Never, I'll never leave, I am chaining myself right here where I belong!"

"Mr. Trump, Madam President only gave you a 5-minute pass. She's waiting in the corridor."

"Possession is 9\10ths of the law!"

"No, it's not."

"Just call me Mr. President once! Just once!"

"but sir..."

"Find me a pretty intern too! Hurry!"

They do not need to make fun of Hillary equally though, it's not part of "equal time"

Say what you will about Alec Baldwin, he is hysterical as Trump.  He has it down so pat that you almost think you're looking at The Real Donald Trump.

They are alot alike so I can see The Ugly Baldwin Brother doing Trump as type casting and not much of a stretch, nor does it challenge Al's acting chops.

I saw a commercial for SNL the other night, and my first thought was that it was pretty biased to use an actress half Hellary's age.

This just in: Donaldus Minimus thinks the following were rigged:

* His three marriages.
* The Clinton marriage.
* The impeachment of Andrew Johnson.
* The original cast of Saturday Night Live.
* The death of Generalissimo Franco.
* The crowning of King Saul.
* The results on The Apprentice.
* The 2016 National League Central race.
* The race in A Day at the Races. (And Chico Marx still bet on the wrong horse!)
* The pennant clincher in The Natural.
* Albert Einstein's Nobel Prize.
* World War II.
* The 1969 Mets.
* The 2004 Red Sox.
* The 1924 World Series. ("Whatever happened to 'Washington---First in war, first in
   peace, and last in the American League?' I tell you, there's gonna be bodies to be swept off
   the streets of D.C. when I get through investigating it!")
* Super Bowl III.
* Bachelors III.
* The 1919 Cincinnati Reds. ("How did they beat the all powerful 1919 White Sox? Clearly the
   Reds must have been cheating! The evidence is out there!")
* The old Miss Subways competitions.
* The space race.
* The Nathan's Famous hot-dog eating contests.
* The finale of The Sopranos.
* The finale of Seinfeld.
* The lack of finale of Archie Bunker's Place.
* Mr. Whipple. (Serial Charmin squeezer! Pervert!)
* Vin Scully. (He can't retire until I fire him! Who does he think he is? Anyway?)

Chevy Chase said they gave it that slant back in the day against Ford to try to get Carter elected. Yes, the media is slanted.
