Alec Baldwin's (admittedly overrated) impression of that creepy comb-over guy who hangs out in the White House sometimes hit SNL again this weekend. Predictably, the appearance was later met with a few public sentences from the idiotic subject himself, featuring multiple instances of bizarre capitalization decisions and general childlike whining.

However, tucked into this latest display of petulant assholery was a statement many have pointed out as another example of Trump's continued attacks on basic American ideals like, say, the freedom to openly mock a sitting president without fear of the president then senselessly painting you as some sort of "enemy of the people" to his presumably dumb-as-shit followers:

Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!

THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!

As Baldwin quickly noted, using words like "retribution" in this context is troubling. Specifically, Baldwin wondered, would this wording qualify as a threat to his family's safety?

I wonder if a sitting President exhorting his followers that my role in a TV comedy qualifies me as an enemy of the people constitutes a threat to my safety and that of my family?

Trump previously called for SNL to be "tested in courts" because it couldn't possibly "be legal." As is par for the course when this man speaks, none of that makes a damn bit of sense.

The latest chapter in Trumpism revolves around the deeply failed steak salesman's usage of a national emergency as a bullying tactic for his inane wall infatuation.
