Saturday Night Live did a bang-up job again last Saturday, making fun of both Clinton and Trump. Trump was apparently unhappy about the show's mockery of him, so he tweeted at 4:14AM on Sunday: "Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me. Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!" See https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/787612552654155776.
Some people are saying, however, that Trump's comment should not be a laughing matter ("All kidding aside, Trump's tweet that 'SNL' needs to be canceled because the show did a 'hit job' on him should concern every American. We have a rich tradition of comedy shows skewering our politicians. I can't recall any President or presidential nominee responding to a TV show mocking him or her by saying it's time to take that show off the airwaves.").
