The Donald was up bright and early this morning giving his sour review of last night's Saturday Night Live, and ripping the media and SNL for 'rigging the election'.

Donald Trump was not amused by Saturday Night Live’s latest sketches about the presidential election, taking to Twitter early morning on Sunday to attack the NBC comedy show.

“Watched 'Saturday Night Live' hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!” the Republican nominee wrote.

In Saturday’s cold open, Baldwin plays the Republican nominee as a duck-lipped buffoon, and Kate McKinnon a power-mad Hillary Clinton who struggles to relate to voters in the mock town hall.

The sketch is flattering to neither candidate, but Trump — who opens the debate by bringing up Bill Clinton’s accusers — bears the brunt of the derision.

"Martha, she is trying to silence these women but they need to be respected. They need their voices heard," Baldwin's Trump tells SNL’s faux Martha Raddatz, played by Cecily Strong.

"What about all the women accusing you of sexual assault?" Strong’s Raddatz asks.

"They need to shut the hell up," Baldwin replies as Trump.
