Alec Baldwin has perfect response after Trump disses his 'SNL' impersonation
It's Sunday, which means the internet is coming to terms with the future president of the United States in yet another feud with Saturday Night Live.
Alec Baldwin performed another spot-on impression of Trump on the show Saturday evening, mocking the president-elect for his recent actions on Twitter, Trump's preferred form of communication.
After the show bashed Trump for tweeting, Trump then hate-tweeted about the show, proving the exact point the skit was trying to make.
Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad

But Baldwin isn't the type to just let some bully talk smack without dishing it back, so he tweeted that he would gladly stop his Trump impersonation if Trump simply releases his tax returns.
...@realDonaldTrump
Release your tax returns and I'll stop.

Here's the bit that Trump is referring to:
During the election Trump refused to release his tax returns despite pressure from both Republicans and Democrats, citing an ongoing audit by the IRS. In October the New York Times released records from Trump's tax returns in 1995, which show that he may have avoided paying taxes for up to 18 years after reporting a $916 million loss.
Of course this isn't the first time Baldwin and Trump exchanged words on Twitter over SNL; just last month Baldwin called out Trump for a similar tweet where Trump complained about "equal time" even though he already had won the election.

Equal time?
Election is over. There is no more equal time. Now u try 2 b Pres + ppl respond. That's pretty much it.— ABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) November 20, 2016
Meanwhile Alec's brother Stephen decided to how his support for Trump on Twitter on Sunday. Stephen previously stated during the election that his brother's portrayal of Trump isn't funny.
Mr President @realDonaldTrump
God is with you !
Thanks so much for your willingness to serve our Nation.
