"SNIP.............


Alec Baldwin has offered to stop doing his impersonation of Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live” if the president-elect releases his tax returns.

Baldwin’s offer came via Twitter shortly after midnight on Sunday after Trump sent a tweet critical of “SNL” in general and Baldwin’s portrayal of him in particular.

Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad

16. Sounds like he'll have a great career making fun of a sociopath

The morons in this country voted for

2. SNL should give john goodman a try at doing RUMP. really make his head explode.

3. They should do a skit with a Trump convention

6. Hell yeah. 300 cosplayers at once.

4. Best possible retort Baldwin could have made.

That round decidedly goes to Alec. Bonus points for his flat-affect "Ha" as the capper.

5. He will never release his tax returns

Not going to happen ever.

7. Where's Anonymous

8. Laurence O'Donnell said Trump makes about HALF what local news anchors make....

That's based on income declarations on tax returns he had to release for a gaming license for a casino.

12. and i think this is THE biggest reason he wont release

for him it's all about his ego. this is why he got so angry over the popular vote . and it's why he didn't brag about a win earlier on. he tried to hold it in until news of recounts and things just make him lose it and he had to tweet the lie about millions of illegals voting.

on things like not paying taxes he is ok just bragging about how it makes him smart. same with corrupt business deals . his supporters are idiots and would just think it makes him a good business person.

but showing he doesn't make as much will just show him for the phony he is.

9. LMAO! Release them loser!

10. This should get interesting

11. Trump is loving SNL

Don't you guys get it yet. He keeps tweeting, everyone keeps talking about him. This is his shtick. He is not offended in the least.

13. you give him too much credit.

14. Remember when Trump brought Omorosa back to the Apprentice

despite the fact she was manipulative and nasty? He did it because a villain makes for good tv. So he makes stuff black and white by tweeting. If you like Trump you will see him a the white Knight and alec, or the cast of Hamilton, or Rosie, or whomever as the villain. It works the opposite way for people who don't like Trump. But he has our attention. We keep tuning in.
