Donald Trump is not laughing at the new episode of Saturday Night Live.

"Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me. Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!" Trump tweeted about the NBC sketch show's spoof of the second presidential debate.

In the skit, Alec Baldwin portrays Trump as a looming, menacing figure who makes insulting comments about women and African-Americans.

"I love the kids, OK? I love them so much I marry them," he said of America's youth. He also called a black audience member "Denzel" and declared of Hillary Clinton, "She's committed so many crimes, she's basically a black."

The sketch highlighted Trump's controversial tactic of inviting Bill Clinton's accusers as his guests to the debate. The theatrics followed a leaked tape, which showed Trump making deplorable comments about women.

"She is trying to silence these women. They need to be respected. They need to have their voices heard," Baldwin's Trump stated. When asked about the women who are accusing him of sexual assault, he responded, "They need to shut the hell up."
