SNL Attacks President Trump?!


Over the last couple months, President Trump has been fighting against people on social media due to the sketches of mocked performances made by Saturday Night Live. A skit, which premiered on February 16, about a national emergency at the Unites States border of Mexico was acted out by Alec Baldwin live on the show. Shortly after, Trump tweeted:
Immediately after he had tweeted this, people angrily wrote back to him telling him that SNL has the right to freedom of speech under the First Amendment as stated in the United States Constitution. SNL is legally allowed to criticize, satirize and denounce political officials, including the President.

My opinion? While I do think a lot of Saturday Night Live's sketches can be very funny and highly entertaining, I also think that some of them can be somewhat offensive to not only President Trump, but other celebrities who have had their names brought up in a few of their skits. I'm not saying that what the show is doing is wrong, but at times some of the things that they air could be seen as disrespectful to a variety of people. That being said, the show is not violating anything under the Constitution, so if you do find the show to be offensive or you aren't interested in what it shows on air, there are other shows that are on and you do not have to watch it, right?
