Sean Spicer may hear Donald Trump's famous "You're fired!" catchphrase soon -- and Melissa McCarthy's epic impression could be the reason why.
According to Politico, the SNL sketch lampooning the White House Press Secretary "didn't go over well" with the president, mainly because Spicer was portrayed by a woman. Sources say that "the unflattering send-up by a female comedian was not considered helpful for Spicer’s longevity in the grueling, high-profile job."
A top Trump donor added, "Trump doesn't like his people to look weak."
Politico says Trump’s Twitter silence concerning the sketch "was seen internally as a sign of how uncomfortable it made the White House feel. Sources said the caricature of Spicer by McCarthy struck a nerve and was upsetting to the press secretary and to his allies, who immediately saw how damaging it could be in Trump world."
Donald's arch-nemesis, Rosie O'Donnell, wants to get in on the action. She tweeted yesterday (Monday) that she'd like to play chief strategist Steve Bannon on SNL, opposite Alec Baldwin's Trump.
