Trump Goes After “Alex” Baldwin and His “Dieing” Career
8 years ago Lily GarnerPresident Donald Trump returned to one of his favorite pastimes on March 2, taking to Twitter in the early morning hours to go after the man who plays him on TV: Alec Baldwin. Except the first attempt at an insult fell far, far flat of what he intended.
"Alex Baldwin, whose dieing mediocre career was saved by his impersonation of me on SNL, now says playing DJT was agony for him. Alex, it was also agony for those who were forced to watch. You were terrible. Bring back Darrell Hammond, much funnier and a far greater talent!" the president wrote in a now-deleted tweet at 5:43 a.m. ET in which he referred to Baldwin as "Alex" not once, but twice — and also misspelled "dying."
Twenty-five minutes later, at 6:08 a.m., the president tried again.
Alec Baldwin, whose dying mediocre career was saved by his terrible impersonation of me on SNL, now says playing me was agony. Alec, it was agony for those who were forced to watch. Bring back Darrell Hammond, funnier and a far greater talent!
