President Donald Trump on Sunday morning seethed about the “total Republican hit jobs” that aired on Saturday Night Live a few hours prior, wondering aloud about how the show could broadcast that material “without retribution.”

It appeared Trump was referring to SNL’s most recent cold open, which showed Alec Baldwin satirizing the President’s off-the-walls press conference from the White House Rose Garden on Friday, in which Trump said he would declare a national emergency to collect more funds for border wall construction than Congress appropriated.
