Scorched Earth: Trump is carrying his newly aggressive campaign style to Twitter, demonstrating that the Clintons, the MSM, and the political establishment are conspiring to defeat him.

"Election is being rigged by the media, in a coordinated effort with the Clinton campaign, by putting stories that never happened into news!" Trump tweeted Sunday.

"Polls close," Trump said in another tweet, "but can you believe I lost large numbers of women voters based on made up events THAT NEVER HAPPENED. Media rigging election!"

"Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me," Trump tweeted. "Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks."

"Media rigging election!"

Way ahead of you, Mr. Trump.

Stopped watching SNL 30 years ago.

IOWS, he never called for the show to be cancelled.

Only “retired”

It should have been “retired” when the last of the Dana Carvey era actors left.

Well, these comedy shows never make fun of a Democrat. They historically gave skewered Republicans, but never Democrats.

Donald’s angry Tweets only serve SNL as advertising.
They have been hard left wing for years, back when he was a Democrat or before.

He needs to shut his mouth.

Some of these grabs are probably true. Men were pretty grabby in the 1970s - 80s. They did “try” more advances than now. I’m sure some are made up and exaggerated but he was a Playa.

SNL skewers all but the one candidate they want to win. It’s part of the gig. If he were at all thinking calmly, he would say he didn’t like baldwin’s deliberately mean portrayal but that he enjoyed the other guy’s really good, funny portrayal.

This election is not about avoiding an ex playboy in the White House. It’s about avoiding a CRIMINAL, a multiple FELON, a treasonous, neurologically impaired, bought and paid for by our enemies, rape-assisting candidate getting into the White House.

I’m sorry, I disagree. Trump is being petty about SNL. He needs to get back on message; wikilinks emails, Clinton Cash book (has he even read it?). He is just giving media stupid fuel to show people. He took the bait again.

“Media rigging election” Obviously true.

He should have left SNL out of it (imo) because he will be portrayed as thin-skinned and petty by the very same media we despise...

I’ve been watching SNL since the beginning with The Not Ready For Prime Time Players. I turned it off when it was almost funny with the Tina Fey Republican bashing crap.

Piece by piece, Trump is exposing the conspiracy against him by the news media and comedy.

People are bashing him for focusing on stuff like this when he should be focusing on the issues, but he is absolutely RIGHT! This isn’t a fair election by far, it’s absolutely un-American, this is like something that goes on in totalitarian states like North Korea, it’s unbelievable. The “Dear Leader” must be propped up, coddled and protected at all times and all opposition must be crushed and destroyed. It’s outrageous, me or you just have our votes and maybe the ability to influence a handful of people while these individuals in the media influence MILLIONS. This is not freedom of the press, this is legalized slander and libel and it’s extremely dangerous because look at the result: We very well may have a multiple FELON as President and she IS a felon. Just because we have a corrupt justice dept. doesn’t mean she isn’t. She isn’t even in office yet, and already I can smell the absolute rotten stink of hardcore despotism coming our way. The crap this CRIMINAL gets away with is utterly astounding so can you imagine what she is going to get away with as President? People are absolutely out of their minds voting for Hillary.

He's attacking a meaningless show like SNL? This reeks of desperation and Trump should stop immediately. Why can't he remain focused on Hillary and avoid all these unnecessary distractions? The media will cover this 24/7 while avoiding everything else of substance he has to say.

Donald, some 16-year-old girl said something mean about you on Instagram, when are you going to defend yourself against what she said?
