He may not even have been able to enjoy the omelette bar or his golf cart ride to tee time. What triggered the President this time was merely another appearance by Alec Baldwin as Trump in a satirical look at his embarrassing Rose Garden announcement of a fake national emergency. This was a speech where he sang a little song about the Supreme Court and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=40584\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">admitted that Sean Hannity and Fox News are his chief advisors<\/a><\/strong>. Baldwin did his usual spot-on impression that we all know tortures Trump everytime he sees it. And for some reason, he keeps watching:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/Marmel\/status\/1097164309606461440<\/p>\n<p>Trump, however, has demonstrated that he has no sense of humor (or decency) whatsoever. His reactions to satires like this are always overflowing with the petulance of a cholicky infant. But on this occasion he went a bit further than his standard <em>&#8220;angry POTUS &#8220;<\/em> routine:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC!

But then he went on to suggest that SNL shouldn&#8217;t be allowed to <em>&#8220;get away with&#8221;<\/em> mocking him. He apparently is unfamiliar with the Constitution and the right of free speech.<\/p>\n<p>But the worst part of this bruised ego spasm was Trump&#8217;s threat that SNL ought to be subject to <em>&#8220;retribution&#8221;<\/em> for having the temerity to express themselves freely. Who does he think should have the authority to administer that retribution? And who else would he punish for similar <em>&#8220;crimes&#8221;<\/em> of believing they live in a free country? He says that this <em>&#8220;should be looked into.&#8221;<\/em> By whom, and for what? Does Trump want to make it illegal to say anything critical of him?<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, he followed up his fascistic tweet with another one that goes even further. His common complaint that <em>&#8220;the media is the enemy of the people&#8221;<\/em> was lifted verbatim from Joseph Stalin. So no wonder Trump feels so connected to it and its message of pure despotism.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/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>This may have been only a tweet about a late-night comedy show, but in Trump World it could very well be a prelude to prison camps for free thinkers and speakers.
