Do Weasels Have a Sense of Humor — Meet the Trump Boogle

Okay ... which one is Sean Spicer

(Hard to tell)

Very interesting headlines below from the UK (the Daily Mail). It kind of sums up the recent SNL show and skit that poked fun at Sean Spicer (Trump’s press secretary) over in the UK and also here at home.

Will Melissa McCarthy get Sean Spicer fired? Trump is “not happy a woman” played his embattled press secretary in SNL's show-stopping skit and hates that it makes him look weak   

•  Trump uncharacteristically absent from Twitter after Feb 4 SNL. 

•  Melissa McCarthy played a belligerent Press Secretary Sean Spicer.

•  A source close to the president said it was his portrayal by a woman that was most problematic.

•  Spicer has been looking to improve his image after a failed first impression.

Based on this story and comments therein it is apparent that the Grand Old Party has no sense of humor regarding SNL or anyone who happens to poke fun at and discuss their White House ways with humor mixed with the facts. 

One wonders why since the GOP now has 00% control of government (i.e., the White House and both wings of Congress), and and possibly the Supreme Court assuming Judge Neil Gorsuch is confirmed for the vacant seat left by the death of former Justice Scalia last year.

Anyone who stands up to the Trump team in any humorous or even serious way (e.g., The Daily Show and other late night comedy) is also moving targets.

Highlights from the story:

Melissa McCarthy's barnstorming portrayal of Sean Spicer has left President Trump deeply unimpressed, according to sources.

The president is apparently furious that Saturday Night Live had a woman play the press secretary and feels that it makes him look feeble.

Indeed, the president has been uncharacteristically silent about this weekend's show, having repeatedly attacked it in the past on Twitter for Alec Baldwin's impression of him. According to insiders, this is a sign of how uncomfortable Trump is with the merciless lampooning of Spicer by McCarthy who played him as unhinged and easily rattled.

And according to Politico, White House insiders have said they worry now for Spicer's “longevity” in the image conscious world of the Trump White House.

“Trump doesn't like his people to look weak,” added a top Trump donor.

Boy, I can’t wait until next Saturday and all the Saturdays left in the Trump TV show era. When you challenge SNL or other comedy act, be prepared to duck.

Stay tuned for sure.
