Hollywood Laughs With Baldwin, Snickers At Trump In Stinkgate Scandal
Stinky or not, Alec Baldwin certainly has a thicker skin than the guy he impersonates every week: Saturday Night Live‘s man who would be Trump re-tweeted (sans comment) the Donald’s now viral criticism of the actor and the “boring and unfunny” Saturday Night Live.
But if Baldwin restrained himself from zingers, other celebrities and notables couldn’t resist. Let’s start with Trump’s mini-review to set up the inevitable punchlines.
