Alec Baldwin suggests Trump's latest attack on 'SNL' could be 'a threat to my safety'

Alec Baldwin, the actor who plays President Trump on "SNL," is responding to the president's latest shot at the show.
Baldwin is asking if Trump's tweet "constitutes a threat" to his family's safety.
On Saturday night Baldwin reprised his Trump impersonation for an "SNL" skit that recreated the president's Friday morning speech about the border, the budget, and assorted other subjects.
By "SNL" standards, it was par for the course. But Trump — who has fired back at the show numerous times in the past — fired up his Twitter account again on Sunday morning.

Trump called "SNL" unfunny and unfair, indicating that he probably saw at least parts of the episode from the night before.

Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!

The Alec Baldwin sketch on SNL:

[TreasonousBastard]

1. Two egos bumping heads to make headlines is a threat to...

my mental health.

[NotHardly]

12. I do not think you understand...

Perhpas between Trump's remarks and Stone's rifle scoped headshot threat to the federal judge, you might be able to reconsider your remarks and your health.

[LanternWaste]

14. You just made it three, rather than two.

Ironic, no?

[bluestarone]

2. I say he's RIGHT!!!!

That's the way these fuckers are anymore!!!!!!!!!!!! DOMESTIC TERRORISTS!!!!!!!!!

[Judi Lynn]

4. True! It doesn't take much to set off a loon in justifying a murderous attack on a racist idol. n/t

[Roy Rolling]

3. Fair Play

Trump can appear and do an Alec Baldwin impression anytime he wants, on any network willing to run 10 minutes of content from a nitwit.

It's a free country. Where's that old capitalist spirit of competition?

[Judi Lynn]

5. Nothing could be more vicious than Trump's unsolicited impression of a disabled reporter. n/t

[groundloop]

8. Very true, that was the definition of deplorable .... I can't get that out of my head

[Rhiannon12866]

10. +100!

[Bradshaw3]

6. And if someone did do something, or try ...

tRump and lyin' Sarah would say, "he didn't have anything to do with it."

[Hulk]

7. His cult followers are definitely dangerous...

We saw what he is capable of instigating with his cult member in the El Paso KKK tent rally...he attacked the BBC reporter, unprovoked, except for the Jabba's urging.

This piece of shit is dangerous, and his cult KKKlub are capable of anything. It's like the suicide bombers in the Middle East...."all for the greater good" bull shit.

16. Don't forget pizza gate

and the nutcases who harassed workers and owners of an innocuous pizzeria. Trumpers are dangerous and crazy.

Baldwin could very well be in danger. He says the impersonation takes an emotional toll on him as it is.

[Mr. Frost]

18. Trumpers are the most dangerous domestic terrorists of the modern era.

No one should also forget evil from even before Trump's rise to power like the Knoxville shooter. At his trial, he pleaded guilty with a possitive attitude and was sent to prison. I always get this feeling he is now at a minimal security prison enjoying whats left of his life.

I fear more for Ellen Page than Baldwin, who is much more outspoken.

[no_hypocrisy]

9. I've seen this movie before . . . . . .

[DallasNE]

11. The Call For "Retrbution" Sure Looks Problematic To Me

That sure sounds like a direct threat to me. And alarming that no Republican distances themselves from Trumps call for revenge.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. "...how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution?"

Wow. It's the same comedy SNL has been doing to all presidents. You just are so fragile, it wounds your psyche. Too bad MF. You have more than earned whatever is coming your way. Get used to it. The majority of Americans can't stand you, what you represent and what you have done in 2 years. Go grab 'em by the pussy or whatever you do in your "executive" (screw off) time and STFU.

[swimboy]

15. Indeed

“Who will rid me of this meddlesome comedian?”

[Mr. Frost]

17. Personally I firmly believe

Trump is not mental. He is just plain evil, and evil is a choice. But there are people more evil than him and that is the ones who put him in office. They care for nothing. Even if the do pull the deed of violence, they look at prison as free room and boarding as long as the damage has been done from their deeds.
