He slammed NBC and SNL as a ‘Democrat spin machine’ after the late-night show aired and hinted at legal action – alleging defamation and ‘collusion.’
He tweeted early Sunday: ‘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?’
Trump has been a favorite subject of the comedy show and his presidency has proved ripe for skits in the program.
