I think its a bigger deal than first meets the eye.. Think of all the times pre-president (AND as president) that he has NOT had someone to stop him - cause illegal. Thats what the man does when unchecked .. illegal shit, cause, one dont care two ignorant af.

In the US Trump's words on this issue are meaningless. As a citizen, he can attempt to sue like anyone else for defamation but as a public political entity, he's shit out of luck. We've mocked people in office our entire history and that is part of the Constitution he cannot change. If SNL came out and argued in a serious sense that he was factually a murderer then perhaps, but note the attacks on Hillary with outright lies.

This is Trump just being a dick, and powerless in this regard, and make no mistake I take the potential abuses of Office as seriously as anyone. Trump is entitled to try to sue and he'll be laughed out in court. Trump has a lifetime history of trying to intimidate and coerce people with lawsuits. This isn't happening.

Beck Bennett is always hilarious, and does a great Mike Pence. Seeing him as a DJ had me rolling. One of the best skits in a while.

I continue to find it hard to believe that the President of the United States could not know that any parody or satire of him is protected free speech.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
Roosevelt was a libtard...try again...

I'm not apologizing for Trump, I'm just saying he's a tired circus act.

Trump should be thanking SNL. They helped normalize his candidacy. That time he hosted? So hilarious.

You really are a master at blaming anyone but those responsible for actually checking the box for trump.
The people who voted for Trump are responsible for their choice, but since most of them are actually happy with that decision, whining about their decision is moot.

Since I did not vote for Trump, I am more than happy to hold accountable those who normalized him and helped to give them that box to check.

Our country is so partisanly divided, it didn’t matter what name was next to that box for most voters.

I consider it the sweetest of karma, that the very same farmers that put Trump in the White House, are now losing their farms, because of the actions of Trump.

wow, that was a shitty trump impression! I swear Seth Myers or Colbert does a better one.

But I guess if it pisses him off it's good enough

Why is their shitty decision and their complete responsibility for their decision irrelevant by virtue of their being happy about their shitty decision?

You have yet to fully explain this absurd rational that you are so desperate to cling to, ....and I generally like you as one of the few worthwhile conservatives around here.

This just doesn't make any sense. The fact that such people are happy about their idiocy is the problem.

I never claimed it wasn’t a problem, nor is there a rationale to cling to. If someone is happy with their decision in voting for Trump, why would they feel remorse about it? Your frustration with their choice is not irrelevant to you, but they may find your frustration irrelevant to them.

Also, love you too man, only because I enjoy discussing Star Wars with you more than politics.

I don't think they're really happy with the way it's turning out at all. They're just not ready to admit it.

That guy has the thinnest skin ever on any person ever.

I know the brain of Donald Trump all too well.
It's actually a Jersey, east coast thing.
This weird obsession with what people are saying about me, thinking about me, sleepless nights all a worry. THAT IS DONALD TRUMP.

Thinned skinned doesn't began to explain this.
This is far beyond thinned skinned.
This is extreme self doubt where one must make things up, lie, to make believe this loser is a winner.
And everyone has this fake illusion that Donald Trump is wealthy.
Wealthy, successful, stable.
Fact is, we haven't seen his tax returns. He refuses to release them.
What is it Donald Trump is afraid of?
Is Donald afraid we will find out he is not wealthy nor successful let alone stable.
He is afraid we will find out all of his wealth and success came from the Soviet Union.
Money tossed at Donald to serve as the Soviet foreign agent? Unregistered?
In this administration, that seems to be going around a lot.
And would explain everything...

Plus.... This is interesting.
Is YOUR NAME on the list?
Can an entire nation eventually show up on this list?
