This week's Saturday Night Live (SNL) is filled with extremely funny moments. Especially ever since Donald Trump has been elected the US President, Alec Baldwin is seen as an expert on impersonating Trump.
This week Baldwin was back on SNL to mock Trump's love for tweeting, and guess what happened next! President-elect Trump did not waste a moment to hop on his favourite social media platform during the show to let Baldwin know that his performance "can't get any worse."
The show depicts Baldwin's Trump at a security briefing in which he repeatedly loses focus and turns to his phone instead (to check Twitter).
The cold open focused on a 16-year-old high school student named Seth whose school teacher (Aidy Bryant) asked him: "Seth, you're just a kid in high school, who would retweet you?"
"Seth seems so cool, his twitter bio says he wants to make America great again." "I just retweeted the best tweet. I mean, wow, what a great, smart tweet," Baldwin as Trump says after sharing a post by Seth.
"He really did do this," Kate McKinnon's Kellyanne Conway says to the camera. And, yes, in fact, Trump really did.
"There is a reason actually that Donald tweets so much," McKinnon's Conway explains. "He does it to distract the media from his business conflicts and all the very scary people in his cabinet."
And Baldwin's Trump sharply reproaches, "I do it because my brain is bad."
Within an hour of air time, Donald Trump himself tweeted calling the show "totally biased." Check out the tweet below.
Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad

Baldwin also promptly responded by retweeting Trump's criticism from his verified Twitter accounts in the name of his foundation.
