Donald Trump lashes out at 'Saturday Night Live,' calls for an end to the historic show
October 16, 2016
"Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks."
LOS ANGELES (TheBlaze/AP) -- Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is no longer a fan of "Saturday Night Live."
The billionaire businessman tweeted early Sunday morning that the show's skit depicting him this week was a "hit job" and that it's "time to retire" the show, calling it "boring and unfunny" while adding that Alec Baldwin's portrayal of him "stinks."

Saturday's show opened by featuring a satirical recreation of the second presidential debate, which was held last Sunday at Washington University in St. Louis.
Baldwin, who retweeted Trump's critique, has been playing him on "Saturday Night Live" since its 42nd season kicked off a few weeks ago, with Kate McKinnon depicting Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.
Trump himself hosted an episode of "Saturday Night Live" last November.
