Oh, lots of people. But especially Trump supporters who felt like they were sticking it to the Man by voting for him.

I think that the majority of voters who departed the Democrat Party or voted for the first time in years did not see the vote as sticking it to the man.

I think they saw it as trying out something different because the same old thing wasn't working. They saw that a hard working guy can't support his family and the future looks bleak.

The Democrats now are performing the autopsy on their failed ideas and trying to figure out a new way to pack the crap and make it look like food.

The notion that the greatest threat to the average guy is Global Warming is such a disgrace, the presenter of that idea should be tarred and feathered.

There is injustice in the legal system, unfairness in the workplace, outright criminals holding office, hard working folks who will never get out from under. Global Warming? My God! How can they be this out of touch?

Who do you know who voted for Trump who did so for the reason you assert?

I think this is funny.

While the Democrat Party has its collective panties in a bundle, Trump is proceeding with the business of getting things done.

They are shooting at and emptying the clip at a place where Trump isn't.

He must be laughing hysterically at the baffoons who think they're doing something. Martin Sheen? Seriously?

While these idiots are fighting a fight that ended weeks ago, Trump is constructing his government with majorities across the country.

They don't seem to understand what happened, what is happening or what's going to happen.

In many ways, this is just a sad and pathetic demonstration by the losers who just keep on losing.

Maybe they want a participation trophy.

Can you name one of them? Screen name?

I'd like to hear from that person on the topic. It's an interesting position that doesn't seem justified.

Trump IS the man.

Hawkeye 10 is one of them for sure. A number of other posters like Damnyankee have made similar comments at one point or another.

Your whining is over a parody clip...you realize this right?

The only thing that makes this of ANY consequence is because of Trump's response.

I believe in the future by necessity he will learn to be less thin skinned.

Every POTUS is the subject of Parody, political cartoons, humor....and the like.

What is important is how the POTUS reacts to it. He will need to do better. Like I said, I believe he will.

But seriously, dude....it is parody. Humor. Either you like it or turn it off.

Gawd, the right whinge.
Get used to it, laddybuck. Your boy is going to feed good meat to the satirists and comedians for the next four years. Trump will put Dubya in the shade, entertainment-wise, and all you right whingers will run out of different ways to say the same thing.

Who in the hell is getting their news from SNL?


Do you even watch it? Seriously?

A two minute bit out of a ninety minute show that airs about 20 times per year? Seriously?

Like or not, Trump makes himself a target. He should stop worrying about SNL and start worrying about his personal behavior.

I think you misunderstand

Trump won the election in spite of knee jerk liberals at SNL hating him

So trump does not have to "worry" about these vicious personal attacks from the left

But he does not have to turn the other cheek without responding either

And a lot of people follow him on twitter which the liberal media cannot censor

I have a question.

When he has this type of knee jerk reaction to a silly parody.....does that make you wonder how he will react to an actual problem?

I believe once he is in the Oval Office he will learn to temper his knee jerkiness.....but frankly do you want your POTUS-elect to be engaged in petty twitter wars if he doesn't learn this skill?

Dude.....again....it is SNL. They have been doing bits with political parody for 4 decades. Some politicians just give them more ammunition. Why would writer give up comedy that writes itself?

How did trump "react?"

He didn't do anything except to point out what clueless little jerks they are

Which is what many people think of them

Unless you are a cupcake who gets your political opinions validated by SNL no one cares if trump insults them or not

I am not familiar with either of these posters. They might be referring to the political elites as "the man" that is getting it stuck to. If this is the case then I have to agree with them. Also the various political weasels that go along to get along or work to use the people's trust to gain personal wealth or prestige.

I find Trump to be a very interesting phenomenon in politics. He had no experience in politics, but obviously is a very experienced chief executive. Now, experienced in politics, as well.

His leadership approach seems to be to teach by example. Get more for less. Do more with less. Demand more in all transactions. Accept only excellence. Nothing new to the private sector. Revolutionary thinking in the vast land of quicksand that is the Federal Government.

His lessons are being taught in every action he takes and every thought he tweets. Those that he has already on-boarded to his team are probably already very well schooled in his approach. I have a feeling that if his appointees don't perform as he would in their position, they will be replaced with more aggressive leaders that reflect his approach with better clarity.

Those who hope to deal with him would be wise to learn his lessons and approaches very quickly, thoroughly and completely.

Trump is not a guy I would like to try to sell something to or compete against. He is a guy I would like to have negotiating on my behalf.

Uh...... "The Man" is usually understood to consist of the government and the elite. So yes, they considering a vote for trump as "sticking it to the man".

I also wouldn't say "experienced in politics" either. Trump basically won in spite of himself. He got exceedingly lucky that the mood of the country was what it was.

Rather, his leadership style is "blindly flail around, committing mistakes at every turn". Nothing he does it "revolutionary"---- his entire political movement is nothing more then a right wing knock off of the Populist Party, which existed at the end of the 19th century. As for the rest of what you said.... We'll see.

No, I wouldn't be suprised if he cashiers people for not simply being yes men, agreeing with whatever he says regardless of how stupid it is.

I have found that "The man" is the guy who dominates whatever consideration is at hand. If you work in a company that is owned by one and employs three, "the man" is the owner. I imagine that most people view the man as the guy that keeps them from getting what they want.

You may not have noticed that all politicians win for exactly the reason you cite. Most adapt their presentation to effect that image. Trump is pretty much what he is.

Regarding your view of his leadership style, you seem to be confusing his public communications with his leadership style.

The feeling that he tapped in to has been a vague presence for several years. The Movie "Network" came out in 1976 and contained the Howard Beal character who identified the same sentiment that Trump did by calling on people to yell, "I'm as mad as Hell and i'm not going to take it anymore!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_(film)

Beal gave a lengthy description of what "IT" is and it hasn't changed. People who just strive to live day to day have a vague feeling of what is right track and what is wrong track and right now, we linger at about 60% who feel that our country is on the wrong track year after year after year.

Beal's main thrust was that he didn't know exactly what to do, but that everyone needed to grasp one idea: "I'm a human being, God Damn it!" and that we, as a people, needed to get mad. Well, the people got mad and Trump is there to "shake things up".

I don't know if what he does will be enlightened or tragic, but, like he said, "What have you got to lose?"

Right now, the world is in flames, the US debt is riding a rocket straight up, the hate filled and fearful of our country and the world are segmented and led by those who are filled with greater hate and greater fear and there needs to be someone who will challenge the insanity.

All of this negativity came to the surface over the last 16 years under the corrosive leadership of the two worst presidents to ever serve back to back in the history of our Republic augmented by the worst the world has to offer world wide.

As Americans, both individually and as a group, we might not be geniuses, but we can smell the stink of failure and it's all around us.

Yeah....no. Not even close to being the "two worse presidents to ever serve back to back". There are plenty of other presidents who were worse then either Bush or Obama.

Trump won by appealing to a group of people who by and large are dying out and feel neglected by Washington. They are angry that the country is no longer the same as it was in the 1950s. Groups of people who were largely perceived as inferior and undeserving of a voice in how the country was run back in the 1950s are viewed as "doing better" then they are.

They want a return to an era which is dead and gone.

People feel the country is on the wrong track due to the rise in partisanship. At this point Jesus Christ himself wouldn't win more then 55% of the vote if he ran for president. Both sides view it as a catastrophy when the other side is in charge.

Middle class white people have never been treated, at any time in this country's history, as less then human. Unlike, of course, a multitude of other ethnicities.

Yes, the hate filled are on the march--- the Nazis have crawled out from under their rocks and are trying to use a minority of a minority to get back into power.
