Donald Trump is set to host NBC's hit show "Saturday Night Live" on November 7. In the promo video, he called fellow US presidential candiate for the 2016 election Ben Carson "a complete and total loser".
Weeks ago, SNL announced their guest host for this week's show which was revealed to be Donald Trump. Today even published an article about Donald Trump stating that the reason why SNL picked him is because he brings in the ratings. For a second, people thought that this could be the avenue for Trump to show his comedic side and maybe at least cover up for all of his offensive shenanigans these past few weeks. But, contrary to what's expected, it seems like the same old Trump will be on this week's episode.
As if Trump haven't pissed off enough people already, there he goes again. On a promo video for the awaited episode, the 2016 US presidential candidate called political rival Ben Carson a loser. "So let me just say this, Ben Carson is a complete and total loser." Trump said. CNN posted a response from Carson saying, "I discovered when I was in grade school that those tactics really are for grade school. And I've gone far beyond that now" while on his book tour at Fort Myers.
However, the original video was taken down and the public was told that the posting of the video on Youtube was a huge mistake along with 2 other videos all of which starred Trump. Yahoo! News shared the tweets from the network's national correspondent, Peter Alexander confirming the error.
Whether it's a joke or not, everyone seems to agree it's crossing the line. The good thing though is that the fans now see two of the presidental candidates in a different light. Donald Trump's character was shown through the video and Ben Carson's character was shown through his response and how he delivered it.
