Donald Trump was deeply unhappy about Melissa McCarthy's send-up of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer—although not for the reason one might expect.
More than being lampooned as a press secretary who makes up facts, it was Spicer's portrayal by a woman that was most problematic in the president's eyes, according to sources close to him. And the unflattering send-up by a female comedian was not considered helpful for Spicer's longevity in the grueling, high-profile job in which he has struggled to strike the right balance between representing an administration that considers the media the "opposition party," and developing a functional relationship with the press.This is, of course, unsurprising for anyone who has been paying attention to Trump's aggressive contempt for women, but it is nonetheless reprehensible all the same.
"Trump doesn't like his people to look weak," added a top Trump donor.
Again, I will note that it's remarkable we're supposedly the snowflakes, but apparently the entire Trump administration will implode if women play the men.
To that end! Rosie O'Donnell, Trump's longtime nemesis, has offered to play Steve Bannon. LOL. And I have a suggestion for who should take over Trump:
Sorry, Alec Baldwin, but the nation needs @Lesdoggg to play Trump from now on. https://t.co/HIxy7XGJ7V

And, while we're at it, Kate McKinnon should play Mike Pence. The Ghostbusters have got this.
