Mean Tweets: Alec Baldwin reads Donald Trump tweet bashing him
By Jeremy Dick
Jimmy Kimmel put out a new batch of celebrities reading mean tweets, and it even includes Alec Baldwin reading a harsh tweet about himself from Donald Trump.
For as many mean tweets as the president types, it was only a matter of time before he wound up on Jimmy Kimmel Live‘s Mean Tweets segments!
Last night on the show, that’s exactly what happened. If anyone is unaware, Jimmy Kimmel likes to show footage of celebrities reading tweets from random people on the internet bashing them. There’s something about seeing the actual celebrity reading them aloud that’s incredibly funny. For his 11th installment of his mighty popular Mean Tweets bits which aired last night, the POTUS himself wound up being featured.
First, some hilarious tweets are read by various stars. This includes Jake Gyllenhaal being told he “has the most punchable face of all time” and Dave Chappelle being scolded for his tiny head. John Lithgow, Jennifer Lawrence, and Gwyneth Paltrow are just a few of the other stars involved.
But the highlight of the segment is no doubt when Alec Baldwin shows up. He reads a tweet from perhaps his biggest critic of all Mr. Donald Trump. It’s the infamous Twitter review of Baldwin’s portrayal of Trump on Saturday Night Live which made headlines at the time. In the tweet, Trump says the show isn’t funny and Balwin’s impression “can’t get any worse”. What seals the deal is the way Baldwin adds the “Sad!” at the end, in only the way he can.
