Saturday Night Live kicked off their latest show with a skit making fun of Trump's prolific tweeting during a time when, you know, he probably has more pressing things to deal with.

The sketch shows Baldwin's Trump and Kate McKinnon's Kellyanne Conway in a security briefing, with Trump retweeting random messages instead of listening to his advisors fill him in on Syria.

Within an hour of the show airing, guess who was commenting?

President-elect Trump called the show "unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad."

Shall we call that a one-star review?

Baldwin has a right of reply of course.
