Trump Facing Ridicule for Threatening ‘Retribution’ Against SNL Over National Emergency Jokes

Donald Trump may claim to be the healthiest and most hard-working president (works the most hours!) in American history but while we know those are obvious lies, he can certainly claim the title of most thin-skinned president ever.

Somehow our hard-working president has time to golf constantly and to watch endless hours of cable TV, even tuning in religiously to a program he claims to hate: Saturday Night Live.

As such, the morning-after-SNL freakout is becoming a staple of his administration. And Sunday morning was no different.

After Saturday’s show featured another cold open with Alec Baldwin portraying the president, Trump took to Twitter to rage against SNL and “Fake News NBC!” but went beyond his professed dislike of the program to imply that a comedy show should face “retribution” for, uh, doing comedy.

NO COLLUSION!

While Trump’s toddler tantrums are entertaining in their absurdity, people were quick to point out the chilling implication of a president who wants to silence comedians and the press.
