There’s an emerging theory that Donald Trump distracts us all with his tweets. But on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, it was Trump getting distracted by his own tweets.
In the cold open, Alec Baldwin returns as the retweeter-in-chief, shrugging off important policy briefings to pass along the social media musings of 16-year olds and other random Twitter users. There is also a cameo from Stephen Bannon, a plate of mashed potatoes and a brutal joke at Mitt Romney’s expense.
And — perhaps at the risk of proving “SNL’s” point for it — shortly after “SNL” made fun of him for getting distracted by insignificant tweets, Trump took to his preferred medium to voice his disapproval at 12:13 a.m. Sunday.
