Our irony-deaf president ladies and gentlemen.

Update: that is where this article originally ended, but it didn’t take long for President-elect Trump to personally comment on SNL’s sketch:

"Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad"

As of press time, it was not clear whether Trump really did stop watching SNL after the cold open, whether he stuck around for Weekend Update’s continued hammering of his tweeting habits, or whether he understood the irony of tweeting about a sketch that depicted his tweeting as an impulse he can’t help but indulge.

I hope SNL makes a 4th wall breaking sketch about Trump reacting in realtime.

Combining "Build the Wall" and "Drain the Swamp" into "Build the Swamp" is funny cause it's true.

 

[Krejlooc]

Man his trump impression is great

That was on point

 

[Messofanego]

lmao he actually watches SNL

 

[Rebel Leader]

lmao he actually watches SNL

That's what get from this.

 

[Ithil]

This is not the first time, so apparently he continuously watches a show he doesn't like or enjoy every week.

 

[GhostBed]

I hope they keep hammering him. Make it more and more insulting every week til he blows a fuse.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

He is fucking rediculously easiy to troll.

 

[Slayven]

lmao he actually watches SNL

LOL you know he is obsessed with it

 

[ZealousD]

This is not the first time, so apparently he continuously watches a show he doesn't like or enjoy every week.

He is obsessed about what other people think of him.

 

[lucebuce12]

lmao he actually watches SNL

Reminds him of home.

 

[jett]

lmao he actually watches SNL

Of course he does.

They keep talking about him, can't resist.

 

[ESBL]

Man needs to go on a low salt diet

 

[GuessMyUserName]

lmao he actually watches SNL

I mean he's been tweeting about it every single week for months now

He says the show sucks and yet he's right back watching and tweeting it every single time, it's incredible

 

[Izuna]

Man needs to go on a low salt diet

straight up switched to magnesium but then had it in the same quantities smh

 

[The Kree]

Trump is softer than baby shit and half of America thought he'd make a good president. No world leader should be this fucking fragile.

 

[RinsFury]

Wonder how many briefings the Idiot in Chief skips so that he can stay on top of what's being said about him on SNL. Surreal.

 

[infiniteloop]

nice vic Berger Air horn

 

[AtomskEater]

Fuckin' plate of mashed potatoes. Okay I smiled.

 

[Hatty]

I don't think I can take four (or god forbid eight) years of this syntax

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

Wow Build the Swamp needs to get some traction to piss off the simpletons who voted for him.

 

[RustyNails]

This is who we elected as our president after Barack Obama.

 

[Futureman]

What the hell are these tweets he sent out today about punishing businesses that want to move production out of the US? They just rewarded Carrier with tax breaks so obviously he's full of shit.

 

[Tregard]

Is he still ending his tweets with "Sad"? Jesus tap-dancing Christ...

 

[ghostjoke]

SNL inadvertently promotes Trump. Trump inadvertently promotes SNL.

Can we somehow harness this energy?

 

[Mike M]

Baldwin's Trump is great, but that was probably the weakest sketch he's done to date.

What the hell are these tweets he sent out today about punishing businesses that want to move production out of the US? They just rewarded Carrier with tax breaks so obviously he's full of shit.

He'll punish them by withholding tax breaks!

 

[Krejlooc]

What the hell are these tweets he sent out today about punishing businesses that want to move production out of the US? They just rewarded Carrier with tax breaks so obviously he's full of shit.

The dude habitually talks out of both sides of his mouth. Remember when Obama offered to tutor him on politics as he transitions, and after almost a fucking decade of calling the guy a muslim terrorist, he was all "This is a very good man."

Fuck trump.

 

[Santiako]

The air horn yesss

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Our President-Elect has the mentality of a teenage girl.

 

[jstripes]

Never stop, SNL. Poke fun at him every single week.

 

[bob_arctor]

My wife was just showing me this as well as some woman who just went off on him in response. Danielle Muscato was her name. No idea who she is but her tweets in response were hot fire. Of course, all of this is sad because it's fucking Twitter.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Never stop, SNL. Poke fun at him every single week.

SNL and John Oliver.

This is the darkest timeline.


He's a tool.
His cabinet is truly the worst evil in America.

She goes in hard and wasn't even a little bit wrong for it. Here's the tweet storm in case anyone was interested

 

[Annubis]

Danielle Muscato was her name. No idea who she is but her tweets in response were hot fire.

I had to go see and yeah, it's lava.

 

[LProtag]

They need to take a week off of this, so that he has to watch the entire thing looking for any mentions of himself.

Then go right back to it next week.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

She goes in hard and wasn't even a little bit wrong for it. Here's the tweet storm in case anyone was interested

Holy fucking shit, that is some grade SSSMOKIN' STYLE DMC4 RANK Ether right there, holy fucking shit.

 

[Bronx-Man]

For a guy who tells it like it is and loves to rail against political correctness, Trump sure is a delicate little snowflake.

 

[backflip10019]

To be fair, SNL's Trump cold open was pretty awful last night. That said, real Trump needs to stop tweeting.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Is build the swamp president shreks position?

 

[rekameohs]

SNL's been given fuel for literal years. They need to just keep piling it on. It's not like Baldwin's a busy man these days.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

She's Twitter verified and just "a woman on Twitter"?

 

[VeryGooster]

Ironically the skit also touches on how the media would report on these Twitter tantrums instead of touching on his business conflicts and (alleged?) insider trading.

 

[DragonSworne]

He is fucking rediculously easiy to troll.

He has nukes in 7 weeks. Instead of a tweet he may just launch one of them instead.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

She's Twitter verified and just "a woman on Twitter"?

It helps if you quote what you're talking about, since I had no idea what you meant at first

 

[Staccat0]

This is not the first time, so apparently he continuously watches a show he doesn't like or enjoy every week.

TBF that's an SNL tradition.

In other news can we make drinking "Trump's tears" a meme? I think conservatives forfeited their stupid "liberal tears" meme when they elected a crybaby.

 

[Megalosaro]

Is he going to tweet every time snl makes fun of him

 

[rekameohs]

Ironically the skit also touches on how the media would report on these Twitter tantrums instead of touching on his business conflicts and (alleged?) insider trading.

Their great Westworld / Trump coverage sketch before touched on that pretty fantastically too.

 

[Ether_Snake]

"SNL really sucks but I can't stop watching it!"

- President of the United States of America

 

[jstripes]

Is he going to tweet every time snl makes fun of him

I honestly hope so.
