Donald Trump reckons that Saturday Night Live sketches should be tested in court

Needless to say, he’s not a fan.

Donald Trump has never been a fan of Saturday Night Live. He’s been having a go at the famous sketch show ever since Alec Baldwin’s uncanny depiction of him back in 2017.

Most recently, SNL released a sketch that showed a world where Donald Trump isn’t the President of America.

In this world, Trump asks what that thing on everyone’s face is that he doesn’t recognise, turns out it’s a smile…

The sketch really takes aim at Trump, and we can kind of see why he’s so annoyed by it. In this world, Trump has been divorced by his wife, who’s accent is completely American now, as it appears that being around him for so long “hurt her language skills”.

Matt Damon even makes an appearance as Brett Kavanaugh. Trump asks him how the Supreme Court is going, to which he replies: “Me on the Supreme Court? With my temperament? Are you insane!?”

Have a look for yourself here, even Robert DeNiro makes an appearance:

Trump took to Twitter to complain about the sketch, and the show in general, describing it as a “scandal”.

As funny as the sketch is, it’s also depressingly accurate, but Trump is quite clearly not a fan.
