Donald Trump lashed out at “Saturday Night Live” on Sunday night after the show mercilessly mocked his first news conference as president-elect.
“@NBCNews is bad, but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC,” he tweeted. “Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television!”

The show’s cold open had Alec Baldwin as Trump deflect questions about an unverified report accusing Trump of hiring prostitutes to urinate on a bed President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama once slept on in Moscow.
“I’m not talking about the pee,” Baldwin said. “Because it didn’t happen. And it wasn’t as cool as it sounds.”
The rest of the skit was filled with urine-related puns.
During Trump’s actual news conference Thursday, he denied the allegations.
“Does anyone really believe that story?” Trump said. “I’m also very much of a germaphobe, by the way.”
The allegation was included in a 35-page unverified report published by BuzzFeed on Tuesday that claimed to show Trump’s alleged ties to Russia.
