Alec Baldwin railed against President Donald Trump’s Sunday tweet accusing Saturday Night Live of airing “total Republican hit jobs without retribution.”

Through the Twitter account of the Hilaria and Alec Baldwin Foundation — a non-profit organization founded by the actor and his wife — Baldwin hit back at Trump by asking if his attack against SNL “constitutes a threat to my safety and that of my family?”

Trump’s Sunday tweet against SNL appeared to refer to the late-night TV show’s most recent cold open, which showed Baldwin satirizing the President’s off-the-walls press conference from the White House Rose Garden on Friday when he announced that he would declare a national emergency.

  1. Actually, he’s asking a valid question. After Pizzagate and other incidents (attacking journalists, etc.) triggered by incitement of the gullible by RWNJs including the head NJ, I wouldn’t want to ignore this.

    I wonder when it can be turned to charges.

  2. Of course his safety is threatened. Many MAGA people aren’t wired like they rest of us. They have lost any connection with reality. When Trump tells them to seek retribution they are eager to please.

  3. If I were Baldwin or Michael Cohen, I wouldn’t want to walk around NYC without security. Even though NYC is probably the safest place for them, there are still plenty of MAGA loonies around.

  4. I love this. He’s probably asking tongue-in-cheek to jab Donnie but it’s valid. Where does the POTUS get off threatening businesses and citizens of the country he’s been elected to serve? Donnie doesn’t seem to understand the nature of his job.
