SNL missed how 'wonderful' Trump has made America

By Dean Obeidallah



(CNN) — 'Saturday Night Live' has done it again -- offending the thin-skinned President Donald Trump. This time it appears the sketch that caused Trump to take a brief break from complaining about special counsel Robert Mueller was the comedy show's cold open -- a parody of the classic holiday film "It's a Wonderful Life" titled "It's a Wonderful Trump." Instead of a distraught George Bailey (played by Jimmy Stewart) being shown a world without him, SNL looks at an America where Trump was never president.


The sketch, which aired in black and white to reflect the original film, featured a distraught Trump, played by Alec Baldwin, standing alone on the White House balcony muttering, "It's awful. Everything's falling apart." SNL's Trump then adds, "Sometimes I wish I had never been president."

While the sketch offered many insights into the troubling workings of the President, it missed one key point. Trump has inspired something truly wonderful, namely a level of activism -- largely in opposition to him and his administration -- that we would not have seen had Hillary Clinton won the election. And, in the long run, this is vitally important to those, including myself, who want to prevent another Trump-type leader from ever winning the White House again.

1. When people say "Look how wonderful this reactivated Democratic base is"...

I think "How heroic and capable these firefighters are! Let us take a moment to be grateful for the arsonist"

2. That sort of rhetoric makes me want to hurl...how electing Trump has some sort of silver lining.

It doesn't. Those who didn't vote for the Democratic nominee and those who knee capped Hillary such as Susan Sarandon, Nina Turner ET AL...are responsible for the death of children at the border, concentration camps set up at the border, babies going hungry...the future government shutdown, the imminent collapse of the economy...fuck them all. You all could have been activist before ...you didn't need a serial killer in the white house. (Not you, but people that write this shit)

3. I think the Women's March

the day after the inauguration that turned out humans across the globe was a sign of things to come in that regard.
Yes, IQ45 is so stupid and not deserving of the POTUS position but I have to agree with the point about activism boiling up.
Good for us.
Now if Mueller would settle this all in January with the new Congress, I'll be even happier.
