I'm so glad the right wingers coined the term "snowflake." I could never have come up with a better descriptor for our President-elect. The term fits him to a T. Who knew such a macho, ***** grabbing guy was, in actuality, such a delicate little flower?

He is in for a long and rough four years of criticism and ridicule. If he doesn't learn to grow a thick skin fast, the poor little snowflake likely will not survive it.
He can tweet away late at night.

Default Generation Snowflake

Either people are choosing to misuse the term and refer to Trump or they are just living up to the definition of the Snowflake Generation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Snowflake

I have been voting for 50+ years and have NEVER seen such obnoxious behavior against a President-Elect. Hell, I didn't vote for Obama, disliked every thing he did, felt he definitely was not a leader, only a campaigner, watched him run this country like a dictator with all his executive powers, but we didn't act like infantile morons! Learn to deal with it when it doesn't go your way. AFA SNL and the Hamilton incident, they are both rude and an embarrassment to the US.

I don't recall seeing him blow up Twitter every time someone hurt his feelings.

Most of our past presidents have been pretty gracious about dealing with criticism, and I don't mean just Democrats. Both Bushes, particularly W, faced a lot of mockery, and for the most part, they ignored it, knowing they had more important matters to attend to.

Trump is different. When someone offends him, he behaves like a petulant child. The fact is, as a public figure, he is going to be criticized, he is going to be mocked. And at some point, he is going to have to learn to let it roll off his back and get down to the business of governing, instead of engaging in social media wars with private citizens.

You must have early onset dementia

How about this president:

Nixon

or this one

GW Bush

https://youtu.be/Q-jOujNLGBw


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ud3DkRb1yU


That took 5 minutes to find. Your not trying very hard to be accurate.

Actually, the lemon-sucking expression the Baldwin Trump affects makes one wonder if Alec is really doing an impression of Barney Frank...

SNL has been making fun of presidents and political figures for 41 years. What other president has taken it personally to the extent they've publicly whined about it?

It's amazing how many liberals didn't realized that they were trolled by that twitter post. Trump essentially tricked liberals into making fun of snowflake safe spaces while exposing their hypocrisy. Oh how easily the simple-minded are manipulated.
