Donald Trump Responds To 'SNL' Parody Of Him On Twitter With A Tweet

He could just turn off the television.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has taken to Twitter once again, to let the world know just how unhappy he is with Alec Baldwin's portrayal of him on 'Saturday Night Live'.

After watching the episode that ironically poked fun at Trump's Twitter strategy, he sent a late night tweet -- blasting the show as "unwatchable", "totally biased" and "not funny".

Baldwin decided to chime in and tell Trump exactly what it would take for him to stop his unnervingly accurate impressions of America's soon to be president.

SNL's sketch this week, that focused on Trump's reckless tweeting, shows him hilariously retweeting random people while he's meant to be focusing on an important security briefing.

"Kellyanne, I just retweeted the best tweet. I mean wow, what a great, smart tweet," Baldwin said as Trump in the episode.

"Mr Trump we're in a security briefing," one of his advisers reminds him.

"See here is a reason actually that Donald tweets so much. He does it to distract the media from his business contacts and all of the very scary people in his cabinet," said Kate McKinnon who plays Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway.

"I do it because my brain is bad," Baldwin added.

Of course this isn't the first time he's blasted the show on Twitter, he's previously said "Alec Baldwin's portrayal stinks" and called it "totally one-sided and biased" in separate posts.
