SNL trolls Trump perfectly... within hours #TrumpSlump is number two trending topic on twitter

[Demovictory9]

But on this week's episode, the show took it a step further and intentionally trolled Trump —and they did it by taking a page out of Trump's own playbook and then getting it to trend on his favorite social media platform: Twitter. In a word, "SNL"'s trolling of Trump was: Perfect!

The master class in Trump trolling took place during "SNL"'s Weekend Update segment, co-hosted by comedians Colin Jost and Michael Che. Jost, with an image over his shoulder of the stock market chart showing last week's massive drop with the words "Stock Market plunges" adjacent to Trump's face, began by telling us, "The stock market this week posted its largest point loss in history, which a lot of people are now referring to as the 'Trump slump.'"

He then adds, "And by a lot of people, I mean me. The same way when Trump says 'a lot of people' are saying something, he just means he is."

Jost, to big laughs, continued, "So now all these people are coming up and saying, 'Trump Slump' and everyone is talking about this 'Trump Slump.' And how there's a 'Trump Slump.'" With the laughs growing, Jost closed, "And I can't even talk about the 'Trump Slump' without someone saying, 'How about Trump Slump?'... Anyway, that's the economy..."


Lo and behold, within hours of that segment airing on "SNL," the term "Trump Slump" as well as #TrumpSlump were trending on Twitter. In fact, by 9 a.m. ET on Sunday the term was the number two top trending topic on the platform as people gleefully amplified the term, including well-known comedian/actor Mike Birbiglia tweeting, "People are saying there's a #TrumpSlump." That means Trump could have woken up to the words "Trump Slump" trending on his beloved Twitter.
