Baldwin, who portrays the president-elect on Saturday Night Live, took to Twitter late Thursday night to express his thoughts about Trump's upcoming inauguration day, calling him "the most reviled candidate" in history.

"We are not far from the day when the most reviled candidate in our history will become President," the actor and vocal critic of Trump's began in a series of tweets.

He tweeted: "Unwanted by a significant majority of of voters. A man who has projected little other than an empty braggadocio and synthetic rhetoric about both his qualifications and plans but Inauguration Day means the beginning of the countdown to when he will be gone."

Adding, "And he will be gone. January 20. The countdown begins."

1. Good for him.

We need people with balls to speak up like that.

Scares the shit out of the Swamp King.

[State the Obvious]

5. Hum-m-m-m "Speaking balls?" Go with THAT one Alec.

Attn: SNL (from above post) Balls that Speak

[ET Awful]

10. Would those be Schweddy Balls?

[State the Obvious]

11. YES!! .....the 2016 Version.

If only.......balls (not walls) could speak! Oh, no..... I can't stop!

(SNL COULD make that happen, though. Please.)

2. drumpf wins hands down

pardon the pun

[SunSeeker]

3. K & R

[Sunlei]

4. Republicans allowed and Promoted a Dangerous and Unfit person for president.

[NYC Liberal]

6. Hope he keeps mocking him on SNL.

We know how much it gets under his skin. He can't stand it yet he keeps watching!

We can only hope that Trump gets distracted enough by petty crap like SNL skits to remember to wreck the country.

[NastyRiffraff]

7. Amen to that.

Anything that annoys Dump ought to be done, repeatedly.

I'm liking Alec Baldwin more and more!

[Cha]

14. They should have an ugly one this Sat Night.. Mocking dump

on his Nuclear Arms Race Tweet.

[AlexSFCA]

8. litmus test for democracy

Alec mocking him on SNL is like litmus test for democracy. As long as he continues doing so we still have hope. I would start really worrying if dissent is succesfully halted, like in Russia. Michael Moore once suggested that satire may a way for us to bring trump down. Nothing else is as effective in getting under his skin.

9. Will the American sheeple finally wake up and dump these assholes in congress?

I always have hope, even though it's shouted down by dread.

[maddiemom]

15. I can't wish anyone dead....

but a major, debilitating stroke for Mitch McConnell is long overdue.

[DBoon]

20. can't he just step into a disruption in the space-time fabric?

He wouldn't be dead, but he would be in an alternative universe

[maddiemom]

21. That would work, also (as long as he could never slip back).

[Still Blue in PDX]

23. Better yet, in a void between universes. nt

[MFM008]

30. I'll do it 4 you

......

[KittyWampus]

12. That's a great way to look at it. His Inauguration is the beginning of getting rid of him.

Sort of like December 21st is the beginning of the nights getting shorter.

[Cha]

13. Thank you, Alec Baldwin!

16. Baldwin is probably right. nt

[oberliner]

17. Alec Baldwin is a jackass

Just because someone doesn't like Trump doesn't make him a person worth listening to.

[AgadorSparticus]

18. Trump is the JACKASS!! Thank God for Alec Baldwinot for saying something,

Anything about Trump...since we don't have a media that will do its job.

[oberliner]

19. They both are

Lots of really awful people are against Trump - does not make them less awful.

[Earthican]

24. Wow, I guess Alec must have ran over your dog?

Seriously, what has Alec ever done to be defined as a jackass by you? Anyone who annoys twitler as much as he does gets a pass for just about anything in my book.

[oberliner]

25. He's a bad guy

He has not done anything to me personally.

[Charles Bukowski]

26. You're like the designated party pooper of these boards huh?

Does it bother that people hate Trump as passionately and colorfully as they do?

Baldwin and Trump aren't in the same stratosphere of jackassery. Baldwin's low points are forgivable. Trump's are not.

[oberliner]

28. Not trying to be

Just think Alec Baldwin is a jackass. I don't think he particularly hates Trump. Look at his comments about him on Howard Stern from before he got elected. I don't know why people are resistant to the possibility that Baldwin is a creep.

Trump is awful and is president which makes his awfulness all the more dangerous.

[MFM008]

29. If they are against

Maggot they have ONE redeeming quality.

[oberliner]

31. Baldwin: "Theres a part of me that would love to see Trump win...

That was in an interview with Howard Stern during the campaign, where he went on to trash Hillary Clinton.

[Dawson Leery]

22. 37% approval going into office.

This is the first time a President will enter office with an under 50% approval/favorable.

32. LOVE YOU ALEC
