President-elect Donald Trump's Twitter habit hasn't gone unnoticed even by the acclaimed US sketch show.
Since Donald Trump was elected President, musicians have come forward in droves to speak out against him.
Green Day led an anti-Trump chant at the American Music Awards on November 21, and Axl Rose and the other members of Guns n Roses made their stance on the new US leader clear when he smashed a Trump piñata on stage.
Now comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live – known for its political satire – has mocked one of Trump’s favourite habits: his tweeting.

In the sketch, Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon play Trump and his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway. Security officials are trying to brief Trump about Syria, but he just can’t stop retweeting things he’s seen on Twitter.
“He does it to distract the media from his business conflicts and all the very scary people in his cabinet,” says McKinnon, offering an explanation of why Trump can’t stay off Twitter. Baldwin’s Trump, though, has a simpler explanation: “My brain is bad”.
Predictably, the President-elect wasn’t amused, but he seemed not to see the irony in choosing Twitter as the platform on which to let SNL know he thought the show was ‘unwatchable”
Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad
