Republican Party's Presidential contender Donald Trump lambasted on his Twitter account NBC's Saturday Night Live's parody of the televised Second Presidential Debate, saying it is boring and unfunny show. He also accused the SNL's lampoon show as a hit job on him.

While watching Saturday Night Live, the real estate mogul went to Twitter and tweeted: "Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me." He continued: "Time to retire the boring and unfunny show." Trump also criticized Alec Baldwin's portrayal of the controversial candidate, saying, "Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks." On the same tweet, Donald Trump pigeonholed the media rigging the election.

The parody's highlights included the animosity between the two candidates as early as the start of the 2nd Presidential Debate when they refused to shake hands. Issues such as taxes, e-mail and accusations against Bill Clinton were also hilariously simulated.

On Saturday Night Live's mockery of the second Presidential Debate, Cecily Strong portrayed Martha Raddatz and Alex Moffat played Anderson Cooper. Kate McKinnon was Hillary Clinton and Alec Baldwin was Donald Trump.

Although McKinnon's portrayal drew laughter for her effective deportment, Baldwin earned more applause from the crowd as he mimicked Trump's deception, stalking and lewdness that transpired during the actual second debate. In a report from CNN, Trump blamed the media for his small polling numbers especially after September 26, 2016, their first televised debate.

"Polls close, but can you believe I lost large numbers of women voters based on made up events that never happened," Donald Trump tweeted and repeated his accusation that "Media rigging election!"

Twenty-four days before the election, Trump's ill fame continues to hit the news and polls with experts calling a Trump's economic plan as a "disaster to US economy" and will cause "prolonged recession," "slower growth, higher unemployment and declining asset values," as cited by Fiscal Times. Trump said he will never waver on his intent in becoming the next President.
