President Trump fumes at SNL, suggests "retribution" for NBC

Slate

The president woke up this morning in a rage at Saturday Night Live after Alec Baldwin's cold open mocking his emergency declaration speech from Friday. "Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution?" Trump tweeted. "Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!" In a separate, all-caps tweet minutes later, Trump added: "THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" Baldwin tweeted in response to the president: "Trump whines. The parade moves on. #resignalready. Cast member Mikey Day responded to Trump's tweet, joking: "He's on to us."
