Good Morning,
Donald Trump isn’t laughing at Saturday Night Live.
The Republican presidential nominee blasted the satirical sketch comedy series on Twitter following Saturday’s episode, which poked fun at the second presidential debate, calling for the retirement of the “boring and unfunny” show.
Trump also lampooned Alec Baldwin, SNL’s Trump impressionist for season 42, stating that his portrayal “stinks.”
Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!

The episode also featured a Trump-ified satirization of the Beyonce’s music video to song "Sorry," which was titled “Melanianade,” and featured impressions of Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump, Kellyanne Conway and Omarosa.
Comedy groups at OU have also taken aim at the election, according to a Post report.
