Alec Baldwin should feel HONORED to portray the nasally jack o’lantern that is Donald Trump… according to Donald Trump.
The president had an early bird Twitter fit Friday morning, where he yet again attacked “Alex Baldwin” for his Trump impression on Saturday Night Live.
Along with his poor spelling, this particular post showcased POTUS’s severe self-consciousness, as it came in direct response to Baldwin saying portraying the president on SNL had become “agony.”

Trump apparently caught wind of the 30 Rock star’s interview with The Hollywood Reporter, in which he said:
“Every time I do it now, it’s like agony. Agony. I can’t.”
Trump wasn’t pleased, and told his followers that the real “agony” was having to watch Baldwin’s (Emmy-winning) impersonation every week when there are much better (read: more grateful) impersonators waiting in the wings!
Claiming that this *agonizing* impression saved Baldwin’s “dieing” career, Trump noted that SNL vet Darrell Hammond was much “funnier” him. After fixing a few of his spelling mistakes, his shady message was as follows:
Alec Baldwin, whose dying mediocre career was saved by his terrible impersonation of me on SNL, now says playing me was agony. Alec, it was agony for those who were forced to watch. Bring back Darrell Hammond, funnier and a far greater talent!

Aw, why you gotta bring Hammond into this? Hasn’t he suffered enough? (In case you don’t know, Hammond was the NBC show’s go-to Trump until he was replaced by Baldwin in 2016.)
Baldwin hit right back hours later, saying he’d like to deal with the agony for the remainder of Trump’s downward spiraling presidency:
Agony though it may be, I’d like to hang in there for the impeachment hearings, the resignation speech, the farewell helicopter ride to Mara-A-Lago. You know. The Good Stuff. That we’ve all been waiting for.

But he wasn’t done yet — Melania Trump needed to be dragged into the mix! He continued:
Looking forward to the Trump Presidential Library.

Yup, these two deserve each other.
If you’re up for it, here are some HIGHlarious reactions to Trump’s morning rant to “Alex Baldwin”:
The Twitter Trend for ‘Alex Baldwin’ says: “President Trump slams Alec Baldwin’s impersonation of him”
It should read: “Lunatic raves incoherently with notable typos after watching Fox and Friends”

A. The spelling has me dieing from laughter, and B. If Alex Baldwin wants the president to stop insulting him, he should do an impression of Putin threatening the USA with nuclear bombs pic.twitter.com/SFjqJqZIzE
