I agree with the OP.
Baldwin's a dick, and his "impersonation" of Trump is hateful and offputting.
He obviously hates the manand what he's doing isn't harmless lampooning. It's spiteful and resentful and downright vile. It makes me uncomfortable to even watch his vile, piggish expressions. Alecgo eff yourself, you hateful lowlife. -

Oh my god grow up, as a conservative and someone lenient towards Trump I found it hilarious you're just as diseased as the libs. -

Donald Trump took a break from prepping to be President of the United States by offering some Sunday-morning quarterbacking on this weekends Saturday Night Live - eliciting a prompt response from Alec Baldwin. Hours after Baldwin in SNLs cold open portrayed Trump as a confused President-Elect who was walking back campaign positions and Googling What [] -

I'm sure he hates Trump politically but he doesn't write the jokes.
It's just ironic that an ahole like Baldwin is trying to make someone else look like an ahole. I wonder how he would feel about Trump impersonating Baldwin and all the stupid things he's said and done over the years. -

Agreed.But this Alec Baldwin aka Mr Schweddy himself who can bring life to any skit. Whatever his political and personal foibles he knows how to be funny.
Yesterday's skit was another unfunny,hateful speech possibly right from the mouth of Lorne Michaels!
SNL like the left wing have to accept the loss in the election (
they tried to influence the election and famously lost
)and stop with spewing hate. If this is their grand scheme to win back in four years time,they have learnt nothing from the loss in the election and still live in the bubble! -

Baldwin does everything he can to do the most vile, disgusting, contorted impression possible. He may not "write the lines", but it's clear he is a vile, angry, hateful man.and his "impression" is not lampooning, it is mean-spirited and disrespectful, to put it mildly. I'm trying to figure out at what point in time Baldwin became such a jerk. I think it goes back quite a ways. I think SNL should spoof that vile, hateful phone message he left for his daughter.

His impression is not funny at all. Not even nuanced. It's the most simple basic impersonation one could do.
I thought he was going to cut down on his SNL appearances post-election, per Alec's own statements about wanting to spend more time with his kids on weekends. If he's going to continue all season, count me out. -

Whoever does him long-termI think they (the writers and the performer) just need to approach the impersonation similar to how they approached Obama's. By this I mean, tone down on trying to make fun of the person's APPEARANCE, and instead just try to be accurate. Sometimesan ACCURATE impression is the funniest part. Like when Hader did Alan Alda.it was so SPOT-ON, that whatever he said was hilarious because of it. Be more subtle.try to get the mannerismsbut don't WAY overdo them.and focus more on the content of the sketchmake the material and situation funny. Baldwin tries to put all the focus of the sketch on his impression, rather than playing a character in a larger overall bit.
Baldwin's attempt is SO exaggerated (due to his hate for Trump) that it's not only un-funnybut it's also off-putting. It's just distasteful and mean-spirited. The guy is a dick, and he needs to go home.to his toney apartment in downtown NY, and reevaluate why on Earth he could be so angry.
