Trump furious at SNL sketch that portrayed Steve Bannon as the real president: report

President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed his displeasure with how he and his administration are portrayed on NBC’s Saturday Night Live every week — and there’s apparently a sketch he hates more than Melissa McCarthy roasting Sean Spicer.

A new report claims that the president is particularly furious over a recent sketch that portrayed top political strategist Steve Bannon as the real political force in the White House.

According to the Washington Post, Trump was recently “especially upset by a sketch that cast White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon as the Grim Reaper manipulating the president — who was ultimately relegated to a miniature desk, playing dolefully with an expandable toy.”

Trump has been defensive about his relationship with Bannon, as he angrily insisted earlier this month that he “calls his own shots” shortly after MSNBC’s Morning Joe had a panel discussion that pondered whether Bannon was the man “calling the shots” in the Oval Office.

1. Excellent news.

Perhaps Bannon has already overplayed his position?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Excellent.

[Ilsa]

2. We knew it would. As well

as the general public calling Bannon prez. 45 has a fragile ego.

[Doodley]

3. Poop Trump, mocks the disabled and women , but can't take it back like a real man.

[Phoenix61]

4. Can't wait for this weeks SNL

As good as the skits are knowing they get under his skin make them that much better.

[MARCUSCO]

44. Unfortunately SNL will be all repeated shows for next two weeks.

WILL return live on March 7. This week's show is an encore with Dave Chappele (aka the post-election show).

6. Mad King Aerys II Targaryen.

By now, Aerys had become aware of the tales being told in his Kingdoms; that it was Lord Tywin who truly ruled the Seven Kingdoms and that Aerys was but a hollow figurehead. These statements greatly angered the king. When Lord Tywin's captain of guard, Ser Ilyn Payne, had been overheard to repeat this statement, Aerys had the man's tongue torn out with hot pincers.[11][12] The angered king became determined to disprove the tales, and to humble Tywin, his "overmighty servant", putting him back into his place.[4]

[Amimnoch]

39. Ohhh that would be soooo delicious to watch.

[Docreed2003]

8. I feel so sad for the bully in chief...

The man who has no problem shitting on anyone and everyone who challenges him gets his feelings hurt when a sketch comedy show gives him a dose of his own medicine. Such a typical weak ass bully. Or as Trump himself would say "Weak. Low Energy. Sad"

[Initech]

9. Good! The more pissed off he is, the better SNL is!

I want to see SNL go meta and make fun of Trump for being angry at them.

[spanone]

[bathroommonkey76]

19. I still want Rosie to take that role.

He would implode if she were in a skit playing Bannon.

[Kber]

20. Anyone else absolutely terrified by how easy it is to manipulate the pResident of the United States?

29. He made his bed and can lay 'tween the sheets he fouled

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Amaryllis]

30. That was the one from Feb. 4. I was expecting this reaction sooner and was surprised that he was

more upset over Melissa McCarthy. Maybe he didn't see it till later, although it's hard to imagine how he could have missed it.

[KewlKat]

32. we need to keep up the pressure

[ginnyinWI]

33. he's gonna have to develop a thicker skin...

like Obama had for the last eight years to fend off HIS birther nonsense.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. Suck it up buttercup

Politics is hardball.

[iluvtennis]

35. bawawawawa. deal with it #TraitorTrump nt

[procon]

37. If Rosie plays Bannon, Trump will go postal! nt

[IronLionZion]

38. Darth Vader: what is thy bidding my master

[tavernier]

40. The View ladies said Pres Bannon

today. Cracked me up!!!

[YOHABLO]

41. He's so narcissistic; rather than attending to serious issues

he's more worried about how SNL and the news channels are portraying him. As we use to say: what a sick ticket.

[malthaussen]

42. Just wait until Rosie O'Donnell takes the role.

Ratings will go through the roof, as will Mr Trump's blood pressure.

[ElementaryPenguin]

46. I knew it - I knew Trumpler's ego could not take him being seen as playing second fiddle to Bannon!

So let's keep referring to it that way - Big President Bannon - and his sidekick Little Donnie.

[Martin Eden]

47. THIN SKINNED NARCISSIST

Giant ego easily bruised = buttons to push for manipulation.
