Once again Saturday Night Live spoofed a Presidential this debate, but there two differences this time:
1. It spoofed the Town Hall debate.
2. Donald Trump was angry about the portrayal of him by Alec Baldwin and said the show should be cancelled.
Here’s the spoof:
And here’s Trump’s tweet:
Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2016
Which led to some reaction by others on Twitter:
Trump had an NBC show for a decade. Last year he hosted SNL. Last month Fallon tussled his hair. But yeah, they really "got him" last night.

SNL's portrayal of you is hysterical & derived from your own behavior. You have thin skin (& small hands). https://t.co/zV6MXzQLet https://t.co/SKpWboy8Wo

Like everyone else Trump blames for rigging, SNL is actually complicit in Trump's rise https://t.co/KGEmltl2OG

SNL is part of a vast conspiracy against Trump.
