What a baby.

 

[NimbusD]

Oh my.

Do you think it's starting to sink in a little bit that Clinton will be forgotten in a few weeks and he's going to be absorbing 100% of the criticism and derision of most of the entire nation with no opponent to deflect it off onto?

Nah. Anyone who doesn't like him is the problem. SNL. The media. Protesters. Over half the country. Worst case they'll just completely make up an enemy. People will still eat this shit up.

 

[rekameohs]

"cre8 jobs"

C'mon, Alec

Spitting some good fire though

 

[jstripes]

Has Charlie Hebdo done anything on him yet?

I'd love to be in the room when that lands on his desk.

Not even just the US, he's a gift to comedians worldwide.

That won't matter. I get the sense that Trump is a mainstream sort of media junkie. It's on late, it used to be really popular, and he probably makes a habit of watching it. SNL may have a strange sort of pseudo-direct line to irritating the living shit outta him, especially if they keep Baldwin in they role.

 

[Boney]

Alec's got a good response, but also it's impossible not to look like an adult in response to Trump.

Hillary's VP what's his name? That guy failed the bar

"Who's Charlie Hebdo, and does he have a daughter"

 

[CrisKre]

The best Baldwin confirmed.

 

[Kozak]

Alec Baldwin is a lot cooler than I thought.

Like, I thought he was cool before but now I feel like we could be good buddies.

 

[Jay Shadow]

As long as you're not Kim Basinger or their daughter around 10 years ago you should be okay.

 

[Shadybiz]

Damn, Alec. Please proceed with the slamming.

 

[Garlador]

Alec Baldwin's twitter responses make him sound like a better presidential candidate than Trump was.

Trump set an incredibly low bar

 

[ryutaro's mama]

It's no wonder Steve Bannon and all those other goons are his friends...no one really real is fucking with that dude.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

He's so egotistical they should just do Drumpf and not call him it so he doesn't smile when he hears his name

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Did you also notice in that same Hamilton thread that people mentioned Trump has been doing this petty act for years? Since I can remember in the 80's. This isn't some master stroke to play the media. This is just who he is. Always has been. The public isn't confused by this at all.

I think they are. People keep saying he's a thin skinned baby when in reality he knows exactly what he's doing. A master manipulator, its how he got voted in after all. He's distracting from the TrumpU story and his cabinet picks and the media has once again fallen in line. The show must go on.

 

[ManDudeChild]

EVERY protest when he comes to visit should have it spelt as Drumpf.

 

[malfcn]

Being president elect and essentially pouting about freedom of speech isn't a good look.

 

[SchrodingerC]

Aww, what's the matter Trump, need a safe space for that fragile ego of yours? I'm sure he has plenty of places to hide from the big bad SNL writers and the cast of Hamilton.

 

[ManDudeChild]

Being president elect and essentially pouting about freedom of speech isn't a good look.

But on the plus side, the political comedy over the next four years is going to be great. Will be the Bush-era x 10.

 

[broncobuster]

Honestly, the jokes have already worn thin. Trump's act has like four or five lines and actions he repeats. He's a spectacularly boring guy.

 

[Violet_0]

the success of his presidency will be measured not by approval rate, but number of retweets, apparently

 

[Hesemonni]

Alec Baldwin Twitter's like a 13 year old haxor

Lol this

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

He's going to need to put a face on it.

That's the whole point of the President: putting a face on the federal government. Having one, singular person the mob can point to and shout, "He failed me! He did the wrong thing! He's the one at fault!" That's the job Trump unwittingly signed up for.

He can try to deflect onto groups, but it's a soft deflection. The only way a President has honestly ever managed to deflect successfully is with a full-on boogeyman (communism/Russia, Osama Bin Laden, etc.). He's going to have to manufacture himself an "enemy", and it's going to have to be one big enough that the question of, "Well, why don't you just do something about him/her?" isn't too easy to answer. (In other words, it can't just be the leader of a protest movement or Anita Sarkeesian or whoever disagrees with him but is on a scale far too small to be taken seriously in this regard.)

I mean, even Obama dealt with this. "Thanks, Obama!" isn't just a meme, it's a pretty accurate reflection of the way people treat the President of the US as an anthropomorphic avatar of all their problems.

Deflect the blame onto a different group of people, huh?

Our Dear Leader is a way ahead of you on that one.

 

[Skux]

Well, he isn't even in office yet. That's when the real fun/horror starts.

 

[Mechanized]

If the Dems had any sense they'd be working on a hashtag that will get under Trump's skin. Seems to be the best tactic. Work hard enough and I bet he'll freak out and do something to get himself impeached.

 

[Riposte]

Yet to see a funny Hillary/Donald skit from any source

The Trump vs. Bernie stuff was funny. I caught one of Alec Baldwin Trump skits (I think for the 2nd election) and it was painfully unfunny. I think he said "China" five times.

 

[LCGeek]

Wow. You know you're in the fucking twilight zone when Alec Baldwin is schooling you on how to be a better man, person, and president, to the fucking president himself. Nothing but daggers of soul poisoning ether and truth. Shame our president doesn't have a soul or conscience.

 

[Dalek]

Alec Baldwin fucking lighting up on Twitter. Regardless of what you think of the guy his balls are massive.

 

[RustyNails]

Meanwhile, Alec's brother Stephen Baldwin

 

[blame space]

Stephen Baldwin is on some serious shadow universe shit

 

[cyba89]

Comedians are fucked because Trump already delivers all the comedy himself.

 

[Sad Affleck]

Grow a thicker skin, Trump. Jesus.

 

[yanipheonu]

I'd seriously be more behind President Baldwin.

Baldwin: I'm kind of a jerk, but I'm still better than Trump.

 

[BigDug13]

They should just give Trump lead writing credits on every political comedy show.

 

[Nightbird]

Grow a thicker skin, Trump. Jesus.

He has thick skin, the thickest of skins, skin so thick you'll get tired of it being so thick!

 

[thepotatoman]

Comedians are fucked because Trump already delivers all the comedy himself.

Even when they try to come up with ways to satirize him, it all sounds like something that could actually happen, and just makes everyone more depressed.

 

[Orniletter]

"Do you have something on your shoulder ?"

" * gags * ...Yeah...like...all of this..."

 

[CD'S BAR]

well at least he is right that snl is not funny at all.

 

[CloudWolf]

"Cre8"? Really, Alec?

Anyway, I fully expect Trump will try to ban satire.

 

[lupinko]

He's an egotist.

He can't take criticism.

I hope SNL opens with Trump skits EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND. Just to shove it up his ass.

Well I'm sure they will regardless because they always did in the past (Carvey HW Bush, Hartmann/Hammond Clinton, Ferrel W Bush and Armisen Obama, I don't know who did Obama after Armisen left because I stopped watching new SNL by that time).

I like Alec Baldwin's Trump and I guess it fits it better now given the times but Darrell Hammond Trump was GOAT.

Though Darrell Hammond can pull off just about anyone. Lol

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Spitting truth bombs left and right. Good man, Alec!

 

[pswii60]

Oh god... Every Trump tweet is going to be turned into a news story isn't it?

He's the new Phil Spencer. Or something.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Bill Maher was right all along.

Trump is a whiny little bitch

 

[ChryZ]

 

[Mac_Lane]

Has Charlie Hebdo done anything on him yet?

I'd love to be in the room when that lands on his desk.

Trump : the victory of minorities

The first white president in 8 years

Was it right to give him the nuclear codes ?
