Trump, SNL feud growing

This Dec. 3, 2016 image released by NBC shows Kate McKinnon as Kellyanne Conway, left, and Alec Baldwin as President-elect Donald Trump during "Saturday Night Live," in New York. Trump called the late-night institution unfunny and Baldwin's portrayal of him mean-spirited, suggesting the show wasn't long for the world. Trump has grumbled in tweets about the show three times since October, most recently last weekend after Baldwin and Kate McKinnon appeared in a skit about his Twitter habit. (Will Heath/NBC via AP)

We may be in for four years of comedy critiques from the president of the United States.

Prior to the election, Donald Trump tweeted that Alec Baldwin’s “Saturday Night Live” impersonation of him “stinks,” and that the show is “boring,” “unfunny” and evidence of “media rigging” the election.

Winning hasn’t stopped him from watching it and griping – and it doesn’t seem like he plans on letting it go.

“Can we agree,” “Today” host Matt Lauer asked Trump on Wednesday, “that at this stage, it would be better for you to simply stop watching ‘SNL’ as opposed to watching it and then complaining about it?”/Washington Post. More here.

Question: Shouldn't Trump simply quit watching "Saturday Night Live"?
