After Saturday Night Live’s cold open this weekend made fun of Donald Trump’s inability to stop tweeting and retweeting random 16-year-olds, the president-elect almost immediately tweeted his disapproval.
Just tried watching Saturday Night Live – unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse. Sad

One Twitter user has had enough of Trump’s SNL sensitivity. Danielle Muscato, who identifies as a civil rights activist in her bio on the site, took to the social media site early Sunday morning and blasted off a fiery 32-part tweetstorm.
Jesus fucking Christ, @realDonaldTrump. You are the president-elect. Pick your fucking battles, man. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Baldwin’s impression isn’t “Sad.” You know what’s sad? In 7 wks you’ll be responsible for 330m lives & you can’t think of

(cont) anything better to do than tweet abt a comedy show. You know that actual lives are at stake, right? You’re pathetic.

This is not a joke, Donald. Don’t you have anything better to do? Are you so narcissistic that a PARODY is your priority?

Do you know how many trans people were murdered since Election Day? Do you know how many veterans killed themselves?

Do you know how many children went to bed tonight without enough food to eat? Do you even care? What is *wrong* with you?!
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
No, of course you don’t know those things. You don’t even know what a “blind trust,” and you call yourself a businessman.
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
You’re pathetic. You ran for prez for attention. You are a fake,a fraud. You never wanted to win anyway; we can all see it.
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
You are not fooling anyone. You’re scared, and overwhelmed, and you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing. And it shows

You think we’re all too polite, too aghast, to call you out. I see through you, Donny. I’m calling you out. You’re a joke.
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
With every fiber of my being, I am disgusted by you. And you know what the real secret is? You’re disgusted by you, too.
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
That’s why you surround yourself with gold, and beautiful women that you objectify. You know you’re a loser, so you try to
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
make yourself feel better, feel successful, authoritative, with things, and money. You are an impostor. You are a fraud.
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
I’m ashamed of you. The world is ashamed. You spout NONSENSE, millions of illegal voters?! Even you don’t believe it—absurd
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
Do you think we’re stupid? You think we don’t know what you’re doing? Trying to control the narrative, get your followers..

..to distrust the media, the polls, news reporters, so that they must turn to YOU for what’s true, what’s real? There’s a

..name for that. It’s “propaganda.” We know what you’re doing. We will not allow you to suppress votes with this nonsense.

We will not allow you to trample our civil rights! We will not allow you to destroy the progress we’ve made! WE WILL RESIST
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
Muscato then called on “progressives, Democrats, independents AND Republicans to #RESIST @realDonaldTrump. #RESIST fascism, crony capitalism, hypocrisy!”
.@realDonaldTrump=TELLING US he’ll suppress votes. Our democracy is at stake. We cannot wait,let him enact policy, then whine—We must resist

tweets so we forget that his kids will run his company in a “blind trust” (!) while sitting in on diplomatic meetings.
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
tweets so we forget that he is stacking his cabinet with the very same people he promised to remove from his influence.
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
tweets so we ignore that he’s clueless at governance. The more outrageous his tweets, the harder it is for us to keep up.
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
We see you, Donald. We know exactly what you’re doing & it’s not working on us. You’re a disgrace & you should be ashamed.
— Danielle Muscato (she/her) (@DanielleMuscato) December 4, 2016
You can fight us on it—and you are, and you will. But you will lose. Because history is on our side. We may not live to see

but we know we will win. We will fight you every step, so be ready. You can’t stop progress, no matter how hard you try.

It does not appear as though Trump or any of his surrogates responded to Muscato.
This weekend was not the first time Trump bashed Alec Baldwin’s unflattering impression of him. He’s tweeted about the show at least twice during this TV season, and though SNL hasn’t directly addressed Trump’s continued insults, it’s clear the show doesn’t mind provoking him.
It’s his response to that criticism that makes people like Muscato scared about the next four years.
