Alec Baldwin Blasts Donald Trump's SNL Critique on Twitter: 'Election Is Over!'
By: Caryn Robbins Nov. 21, 2016
Alec Baldwin returned to SNL this weekend with his now-iconic Trump impression for the episode's cold open, which featured a recap of Trump's first week as President-elect of the United States. Playing off of news that Trump was unaware of basic requirements for the Presidency, such as the need to hire a full staff for the West Wing of the White House, the sketch was a revolving door of Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon) bringing in various high-profile leaders to meet with the President-elect, who each reveal something that overwhelms Trump.
Trump's final meeting with his Vice President, Mike Pence, covers topics such as the infamous border wall, Obamacare, and the logistics of hiring a prosecutor to put Secretary Hillary Clinton in jail. And, of course, the pair discuss Pence's recent trip to Hamilton. (Watch the skit below!) On Sunday morning, the President-elect turned to Twitter to share his negative review of the sketch, posting: "I watched parts of @nbcsnl SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE last night. It is a totally one-sided, biased show - nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?"Baldwin wasted no time responding to the tweet, blasting Trump for focusing his time and energy on a television show rather than focusing on reuniting the country. Check out the Twitter rant below:

You know what I would do if I were Prez? I'd be focused on how to improve the lives of AS MANY AMERICANS AS POSSIBLE.

I'd be focused on improving our reputation abroad, including actually fighting for freedom and not just oil.

I would make appointments that encouraged people, not generate fear and doubt.
