.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump eyes possible actions against comedy shows that hurt his feelings.
NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” was a repeat over the weekend, but Donald Trump apparently watched anyway, and wasn’t impressed. In fact, the president suggested he’s weighing the possibility of some kind of official inquiry into this and other comedy shows that hurt his feelings. “It’s truly incredible that shows like Saturday Night Live, not funny/no talent, can spend all of their time knocking the same person , over & over, without so much of a mention of ‘the other side.
And while most reasonable observers would probably consider that bonkers, it’s Trump’s specific reference to the Federal Election Commission and the Federal Communications Commission that stood out. Circling back to our earlier coverage, I rather doubt anything will come of this, at least in practical terms – Trump often sees chest-thumping bluster as its own reward – but I also think it’d be a mistake to dismiss these presidential antics as meaningless.
But taking a step further, Trump’s responses to “SNL” serve as reminders that he still doesn’t yet understand the nature of the American presidency.
