Nikki Haley, Donald Trump Jr. clap back at Grammys skit involving Hillary Clinton

At least one member of the Trump administration wasn't laughing at a skit involving Hillary Clinton.

Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, tweeted her disapproval over a skit involving the former presidential candidate "auditioning" to perform the audio version of Michael Wolff's bombshell book about President Donald Trump.

"I have always loved the Grammys but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it. Don't ruin great music with trash. Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it," the ambassador tweeted.

Clinton wrapped up the skit that had musicians auditioning to read the audio version of Wolff's book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House."

Haley's tweet wasn't the only one from the President's orbit. His son, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted his displeasure as well as some snark at the two-time candidate for president.

"Getting to read a #fakenews book excerpt at the Grammys seems like a great consolation prize for losing the presidency. #GrammyAwards," tweeted the President's eldest son.

Oh for Christ sakes lighten up. I have the YouTube video of the skit posted on the on the Video & Multimedia forum if any one's interested. It just shows people reading the book out loud.

...thinking the Trump "base" is her political future. I agree and think the association with Trump should stick to her forever.

They have everything they've ever wanted, but it's still not enough. They crave acceptance from those they regard as their betters, shut out of the in-crowd, and they'll never gain admittance. President Trump goes uninvited to Davos, knowing that they won't turn away the President of the United States, but the Big Money Boyz don't have to roll out the red carpet. The Trumpistas would dearly love to be accepted by the entertainment world's elite, but they're not. And there's "that woman" getting a juicy little plum role to make fun of their hero, and all they can do is gnash their teeth.

Eat your hearts out, Junior and "Nikki." You'll never, ever get in.
