He was the host of Saturday Night Live that week, and he claims that when Trump was announced the winner, people cried in the SNL writers’ room.This is very interesting because it confirms what has been obvious for years, that the folks at SNL actively hate President Trump.Their constant mockery of him is not done in fun, humor, or good faith. It is used as a political weapon because they don’t like him.
