Trump trashes Baldwin's 'terrible impersonation'
President Donald Trump and Alec Baldwin engaged in a Twitter feud Friday morning after the President mocked the actor's impression of him on "Saturday Night Live." "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 ****** to watch," Trump said on Twitter, at first misspelling Baldwin's name as "Alex" before fixing. "Bring back Darrell Hammond, funnier and a far greater talent!" Trump said, referring to the former SNL cast member who formerly portrayed him. Baldwin, who made his debut on SNL as Trump during the 2016 campaign, quickly shot back. "Agony though it may be, I'd like ...

‘Ask Your Wife to Stop Calling Me.’ Alec Baldwin Fires Back at Donald Trump in Twitter Spat
Lisa Marie Segarra,Time
President Donald Trump is no stranger to
playing television critic for Saturday Night Live. This time he took aim at “Alex” Baldwin’s impression of him.
In a since deleted tweet, Trump remarked, “Alex Baldwin, whose dieing mediocre career was saved by his impersonation of me on SNL, now says playing DJT was agony for him. Alex, it was also agony for those who were ****** to watch. You were terrible. Bring back Darrell Hammond, much funnier and a far greater talent!”
Trump deleted the tweet and later reposted the comment, correcting Alex Baldwin to
Alec Baldwin and cleaning up his “dieing” error to “dying.”
Baldwin, Alec not Alex, responded through his foundation’s Twitter account with a grim prediction of the President’s future writing, “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.” Baldwin added that the President should ask First Lady Melania Trump to stop asking for
Saturday Night Live tickets

Alec (Not Alex) Baldwin Taunts Donald Trump, Says Melania Wants ‘SNL’ Tickets
Greg Evans,Deadline
Nothing like a good Baldwin-Trump twitter feud to get an early start on Hollywood’s big weekend. After the president’s error-filled (later corrected) early-morning social media swipe at “Alex” Baldwin,
Saturday Night Live‘s resident Trump has fired back with four bigly sharp swats of his own.
Baldwin even brought Melania into the back-and-forth, claiming the First Lady has repeatedly asked for tickets to
SNL.
The latest skirmish in the feud – which dates back to 2016, when Trump called SNL “unwatchable” and said of Baldwin’s impersonation “just can’t get any worse” – comes after Trump heard or read Baldwin say the role is “agony” to play. In his second tweet of the morning – the first praised trade wars – Trump said Baldwin’s performance was “agony for those who were ****** to watch” (see the original,
error-filled tweet here, and the cleaned-up version below).
Baldwin didn’t bite on exactly who could be “****** to watch” SNL, or how, instead following up on the agony angle, and pledging to stick around long enough for the “good stuff” – impeachment hearings, resignation speech, “the farewell helicopter ride to Mara-A-Lago.” (A sic there on Baldwin’s part).
Less than an hour later, at 8:23 a.m. ET, Baldwin jumped back in, expressing how much he is looking forward to the Trump Presidential Library, which the actor envisions as a putting green, recipes for chocolate cake, a live Twitter feed for visitors to post on, and “a little black book w the phone numbers of porn stars.”
Ending with a sexual insult he more or less leaves to the imagination, Baldwin writes of the future library, “You’re in and out in five minutes. Just like…”
Baldwin wasn’t finished yet, though. Tweet #3: “And Mr. President…please ask your wife to stop calling me for SNL tickets. (Hey, Melania…we’ve got Charles Barkley this Saturday!)”.
And then finally this parting shot, which references Trump’s earlier slam that Baldwin’s “dying mediocre career” was saved by playing Trump.
“On my way to shoot MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN and grateful to be working w Edward Norton, Cherry Jones, Willem Dafoe, Bruce Willis, Bobby Canavale, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael K Williams,” Baldwin tweeted. “If this is mediocrity, give me more.”
