POTUS needs to not punch down: slams NBC, SNL

President Trump wants the courts to test NBC and "Saturday Night Live" as he tweeted on Sunday. This came after the final airing until New Year.

The sketch was political humor aimed at Trump and his administration and was a parody of the movie "It's a Wonderful Life," a Christmas story about a man whose life is falling apart and is ready to commit suicide when an angel arrives and gives him the chance to see what the world would be like if he had never been born.

In the parody, Alec Baldwin played Donald Trump. The premise of the sketch was to envision a world in which Trump was never elected president but Hillary was.

Apparently, the left still can't get over that she lost to Trump--that's funnier than the sketch, which featured Ben Stiller as Michael Cohen, Robert De Niro as Robert Mueller and Matt Damon as Brett Kavanaugh.

The sketch shows Trump being led through a Christmas party in a world where Hillary Clinton became president. As each person from his administration approaches, Trump learns that because he didn't become president, it worked out for the benefit of everyone in his administration. The concept actually makes no sense because if he never got elected president, what are people in his administration doing at a White House Christmas party?

The sketch suggested that he and Melania got a divorce and remarried other people. Kavanaugh never made it onto the Supreme Court and Mueller was able to spend more time with his kids instead of having to “investigate some idiot for treason.”

It's amazing how poorly the left has thus far handled Trump's election over Hillary Clinton.

Unfortunately, Trump responded to the sketch on Sunday morning by jabbing both the sketch show and NBC. He tweeted:

“A REAL scandal is the one-sided coverage, hour by hour, of networks like NBC & Democrat spin machines like Saturday Night Live. It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can’t be legal? Only defame & belittle! Collusion?”

If he would only stop "punching down" at his detractors, it would show that he doesn't care so much. They are 'little people' compared to the president. But he simply cannot help himself.

Worse, it makes him appear to spend too much time watching television.

Now he wants to go after NBC and SNL, even calling for FCC to take action because of the unfair left-leaning coverage the network takes and their constant attacks against him. He's hoping the FCC will pull their broadcast license, but it isn't going to happen--the U.S. Constitution sees to that.

He just needs to continue getting his promises realized and let the little guys cry along with Hillary. The sketch is a wish-fulfillment dream that did not come true and Trump should be laughing over that rather than complaining. It makes him look small.
