If you rip President Trump, expect an answer on Twitter (except for you, Eminem - sorry your anti-Trump rants couldn't hide the fact that the new stuff stinks).
President Trump took to Twitter to rip Alec Baldwin following Baldwin's interview with the Hollywood Reporter about Baldwin's new talk show. Baldwin says he struggles with wanting to portray Trump on Saturday Night Live.
“Every time I do it now, it's like agony. Agony. I can't. If things don't go in the right direction for the midterms. … “
Baldwin also engages in a couple of constant (and cliche) white lies that liberals tell in interviews: 1) he'd vote for another Republican and 2) he'll leave the country if Trump is elected again. He also references his recent appearance as a keynote speaker at a fund-raiser for Iowa Democrats.
I could go out on the street, stand on any corner and tap 10 people on the shoulder. And all 10 of them, in all likelihood, would be more qualified — ethically, morally, intellectually and spiritually — than Trump. I'll vote for Mitt Romney. I don't care. Anybody over this guy. It doesn't matter. We have to get rid of him.”
Baldwin ends with the common threat among those on the left: to leave the country if the next election doesn’t go his way:
“And that's another project I'm working on,” Baldwin says. “I was the keynote speaker at the Democratic Dinner in Iowa, and I'm gonna go do a couple more of those this year. My wife and I agreed that we're gonna give it everything we have. And then if, God forbid, [Trump] wins again in 2020, I'm wondering can I host a game show in Spain.”
Trump fired back:
“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!” the president wrote.
