As Americans continued to absorb the news of President Donald Trump's border emergency declaration on sunday, he began the morning by venting about 'Saturday Night Live' and suggesting his government should look carefully at comedic 'hit jobs' against Republicans.
Alec Baldwin had lampooned him on the show nine hours earlier, telling a mock press conference in his Trump voice that 'you can all see why I have to fake this national emergency.'
Baldwin's alternative Trump said in the show's opening sketch that he would ultimately 'plead insanity.'
'Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC!' Trump blasted in a Sunday morning tweet. 'Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!'
