Donald Trump attacks 'Alex' Baldwin on Twitter over impersonation

Source: ABC News

The president woke up with Alec Baldwin on his mind -- and let the world know about it. Well, he let "Alex Baldwin" know about it anyway.

Donald Trump took to Twitter at 5:42 a.m. to fire off a tweet attacking the left-leaning actor for his portrayal of Trump on "Saturday Night Live." Baldwin had said on Thursday in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that it was "agony" to portray the president.

"Every time I do it now, it's like agony. Agony. I can't," Baldwin told The Hollywood Reporter.

Trump was not amused -- and not good at spelling so early in the morning. He tweeted about Baldwin's "dieing" career and misspelled his name as "Alex." It's unclear if the president was being sarcastic on the latter.

Putin just basically claimed he could wipe us out if he wanted to, and this is how His Orangeness reassures the American people.

He also tweeted that "trade wars are good." What an idiot. Every one on television this morning is saying that no one wins in a trade war.

The man is an ignoramus. He has lived in his own world of make believe for so long, he has no understanding of the world or anything in it.

Everything is falling apart. And the reason is that every foreign leader in the world, from our friends to our foes, know the man is unfit, incompetent, and intellectually devoid of the skills needed to serve as the leader of a nation.

With all the current problems that need to be addressed, the President of the US finds time at 6 am to vent his frustration about comedy at his expense.

as tRump on SNL was funniest impersonation EVER. He does a great job. Unfortunately, the man he impersonates does NOT do a good, or even mediocre job. How did his porn "star" wife obtain a Einstein Visa? Enquiering minds want to know, but since the owner of the Nat'l Enquierer (sp?) is a friend of tRumps, they will never touch this latest news.
