While Politico previously reported that Melissa McCarthy's Sean Spicer impression "rattled" the White House, the Washington Post reports that Trump also has a problem with how "SNL" portrays his chief strategist Steve Bannon - as the Grim Reaper, whom Alec Baldwin's Trump calls "Mr. President." It's one of the less subtle satires of Trump's administration on "SNL," casting Bannon as a dark force ruling over everything.
According to the Washington Post, aides in the administration said, "Trump was especially upset by a sketch that cast White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon as the Grim Reaper manipulating the president - who was ultimately relegated to a miniature desk, playing dolefully with an expandable toy."
