rants on twitter endlessly, proving yet again he's not a mentally healthy person. Not sure how many would change their minds based on SNL about trump, but the show provokes him. I keep thinking if the news media, the public, SNL, etc., keep after him, he'll eventually be taken away in a straight jacket. One can hope.

He isn't secure enough to just ignore it. Then he goes off and shows just how emotionally unstable he is.

If you watch the grab'em by the p video you'll hear him mention Gerald Ford falling down the stairs-- Of course little Donnie knew back then Chevy Chase's impression made Ford look like a buffoon in the 70s-- Image means everything to Trump.

Trump is the one who can't just brush it off and move ahead with an agenda.

Trump takes it personally, obsesses over it, and acts accordingly.

So no, comedy skits are not hurting Trump. Trump is hurting Trump.
