Leslie Jones mocks Trump's rant about 'SNL' rerun: 'This guy is an idiot'
President Trump does not think Saturday Night Live is funny and even thinks the show is spreading “fake news.” On Sunday, Trump tweeted his reaction to the comedy show’s latest episode — which just so happened to be a rerun.
It’s truly incredible that shows like Saturday Night Live, not funny/no talent, can spend all of their time knocking the same person (me), over & over, without so much of a mention of “the other side.” Like an advertisement without consequences. Same with Late Night Shows……

….Should Federal Election Commission and/or FCC look into this? There must be Collusion with the Democrats and, of course, Russia! Such one sided media coverage, most of it Fake News. Hard to believe I won and am winning. Approval Rating 52%, 93% with Republicans. Sorry! #MAGA

The original episode aired Dec. 15, and Trump took to social media then to air his reaction.
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?

Many on the internet pointed out his apparent forgetfulness, leading with SNL’s Leslie Jones. She posted his tweet on Instagram and wrote, “This guy is an idiot!! It was a rerun you moron!!” She added the hashtag “Lord help us please.” (Trump actually hosted the show in 2004 and 2015.)
This guy is an idiot!! It was a rerun you moron!! #lordhelpusplease

SNL wasn’t the only show Trump tweeted about Sunday. Apparently upset about the fact that Judge Jeanine was pulled from Fox News’ lineup that night, he implored the network to bring her back.
Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro. The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country. They have all out campaigns against @FoxNews hosts who are doing too well. Fox …..

….must stay strong and fight back with vigor. Stop working soooo hard on being politically correct, which will only bring you down, and continue to fight for our Country. The losers all want what you have, don’t give it to them. Be strong & prosper, be weak & die! Stay true….

….to the people that got you there. Keep fighting for Tucker, and fight hard for @JudgeJeanine. Your competitors are jealous – they all want what you’ve got – NUMBER ONE. Don’t hand it to them on a silver platter. They can’t beat you, you can only beat yourselves!

Pirro was reportedly suspended for Islamophobic remarks pertaining to Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress. “Omar wears a hijab, which according to the Quran, 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested,” Pirro said on her show last week. “Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”
Trump also urged his followers to support Fox’s Tucker Carlson, whose past controversial remarks were recently unearthed by Media Matters for America.
