Actor Alec Baldwin on Sunday night asked if the latest attack President Trump lobbed against NBC and "Saturday Night Live" could be viewed as a "threat to my safety and that of my family?"

Baldwin, who has impersonated Trump on "Saturday Night Live" throughout his presidency, mocked Trump's national emergency declaration on the most recent showing of the program.

Baldwin, acting as Trump, called the emergency to fund a wall along the southern border "fake."

“We have a tremendous amount of drugs flowing into the country from the southern border — or the brown line, as many people have asked me not to call it," Baldwin said. "That’s why we need wall. Because wall works. Wall makes safe.”

1. trump has no sense of humor and he takes being mocked in comedy as personal attacks that need

being dealt with. So yes, any trump based comedy acts/comedians are as at risk as the journalist are from trump's crazed base with trump whipping them up.

2. Danger Time

The press needs to drop any kind of false equivalency stance right now. This is not normal. Nixon might have disagreed with News Takes but don’t recall him plainly labeling any negative news as fake.

This is not normal whatsoever MSM quit trying to make it so. This is a full on emergency. Right now I see folks like Lindsay Graham as basically an enabler to this mentally unbalanced and likely mentally impaired creep who has not one bit of empathy for anyone other than his own sorry self

Basically all of who grasp this need to fight hard to bring us back from the brink of an autocracy..
