'SNL' Destroys President Trump, Causing Him to Call for Courts to Intervene

Weekend Update co-host Colin Jost came out swinging against embattled President Donald Trump, starting an onslaught of spot-on jokes with: “This last week was a pretty bad year for Donald Trump.”

Jost followed up with a mind-numbing list of infractions and accusations against the president that made news this week:

– An investigation of Trump’s campaign

– An investigation of Trump’s transition

– An investigation of Trump’s inauguration spending

– An investigation of Trump’s business

– An investigation of Trump’s administration


“Check your cards because you might have impeachment bingo,” Jost joked.

The roasting by SNL, which also included a Trump-bashing It’s a Wonderful Life parody cold open, was so harsh, it triggered Trump to respond on Twitter and forget that the First Amendment guarantees a free press.

Poor Donny has such thin skin, he can't even take a comedian's lampooning.
What a pathetic whining loser.

He can say whatever BS he wants on Twitter, and that's his right. But let anyone else (or the media) do the same, and he screams all the way to court over it.

SNL is a comedy show, and sometimes it gets very edgy. How could Cheeto think that SNL would refrain from jokes about him when he's so ripe for the picking? He used to love the attention, what happened?
