The opening segment mocked Trump&#8217;s Twitter addiction as so sever that it interfered with his national security briefings. Indeed, Trump has been neglecting those briefings since Election Day. Ironically, Trump jumped onto Twitter to respond with a bitter and substanceless put-down:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just tried watching Saturday Night Live &#8211; unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can&#39;t get any worse. Sad<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/805278955150471168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 4, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Trump has called SNL <em>&#8220;unwatchable&#8221;<\/em> before, but he&#8217;s still watching. Clearly he&#8217;s preoccupied with anything and everything that has to do with himself. The good news for Baldwin is that he can&#8217;t get any worse. It&#8217;s all uphill from here. Alec.<\/p>\n<p>Baldwin had an appropriate reply to Trump&#8217;s tweet that turned the humor into something more serious:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@realDonaldTrump<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Release your tax returns and I&#39;ll stop.<br \/>Ha<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; AlecBaldwin(HABF) (@AlecBaldwin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlecBaldwin\/status\/805284113741729792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 4, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump is the first candidate in more than half a century to refuse to release his tax returns. We have learned from other sources that he didn&#8217;t pay income taxes for eighteen years. However, we still don&#8217;t have detailed information about his unsavory business ties. Those may include gross conflicts of interest and relationships with criminals or foreign operatives.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has not taken up Baldwin&#8217;s challenge. And I wouldn&#8217;t hold my breath waiting for him to do so. The standard way Trump handles these sort of matters is to ignore them until he can think of a distraction. He has already posted a stream of tweets defending his atrocious deal to pay the Carrier Corp a bribe to get them to keep an Indiana plant open. For that price Carrier is still sending half the jobs from that plant to Mexico. That&#8217;s what dealmaker Trump thinks is a good deal.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the media that Trump despises will keep some pressure on him to release his taxes. This problem doesn&#8217;t go away just because he won the Electoral College vote. In fact, it&#8217;s even more important now because he will soon be making decisions that impact his own businesses. The American people have a right to know if their president is a crook. Now where have I heard that before?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Watch the SNL opening here:<\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tI3g_laToxE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump continues to demonstrate that he is temperamentally unfit to be president.
