Who can blame them?Donald Trump hates Alec Baldwins impression of him. That puts Donald Trump in the minority.
According to a new poll from Morning Consult, a majority of Americans, 52 percent of adults, say theyve enjoyed watching Baldwin parodythough just barelythe cartoon that is Trump. The most recent poll shows Trumps approval rating, already at a record low when he took office, has plummeted to just 38 percent. That means Baldwins Trump parody is more liked than the real deal.
Thirty-three percent of those polled agreed with the statement, I have enjoyed the impersonations of the members of President Trump's administration and I would like to see more of them. Another 19 percent said that while theyve gotten a good laugh out of the Trump spoofs, they would like SNL to focus on something else. That last group of people either dont know how long a presidential term is or have no idea how "Saturday Night Live" works.
The notoriously thin-skinned Trump has not been a good sport about Baldwins impression. Despite having never tweeted denouncements of anti-Semitic attacks, anti-Muslim terrorism or Russian election meddling, Trump has rage-tweeted about "Saturday Night Live" at least once a month since last October
