CLEVELAND, Ohio -- President Donald Trump’s rant against “Saturday Night Live” has his TV counterpart wondering if his life is in danger.

The war of words began Sunday morning, after the president apparently saw Alec Baldwin’s impersonation of him during the opening moments of SNL the previous night. Needless to say, he didn’t like it.

Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2019

THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2019

“Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC!” Trump tweeted. “Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!”

The president then added, “THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!”

Baldwin responded by posting, “Trump whines. The parade moves on. #resignalready.” Later Sunday, Baldwin took exception to Trump’s second tweet.

I wonder if a sitting President exhorting his followers that my role in a TV comedy qualifies me as an enemy of the people constitutes a threat to my safety and that of my family? — HABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) February 18, 2019

“I wonder if a sitting President exhorting his followers that my role in a TV comedy qualifies me as an enemy of the people constitutes a threat to my safety and that of my family?”

Baldwin’s concerns came less than a week after a Trump supporter shoved a BBC cameraman at a rally in El Paso, Texas where the president continued his attacks on the media. "There’s also collusion between the Democrats and the fake news, right here,” he said just several minutes after the incident.

In the sketch that drew the president’s ire, Baldwin parodied Trump’s press conference from Friday in which he declared a national emergency to build a wall.

“We need wall, OK? There’s a tremendous amount of drugs flowing into this country — from the southern border, or the ‘brown line’ as many people have asked me not to call it," Baldwin’s Trump said. “That’s why we need wall. Wall works. Wall make safe. You don’t have to be smart to understand that, and in fact it’s even easier to understand if you’re not that smart. You can all see why I got to fake this national emergency, right? I have to because I want to.”

On Twitter, Democrats criticized Trump’s reaction to the skit.

Dear @realDonaldTrump: One thing that makes America great is that the people can laugh at you without retribution. The First Amendment allows Saturday Night Live to make fun of you again, and again, and again. @nbcsnl
