Joke all you want that Alec Baldwin secured a job for the next four years as Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live -- he isn't laughing.

Instead, Baldwin turned to his foundation's Twitter page to express his frustrations and disappointment with how the 2016 presidential election unexpectedly panned out.

Amidst his retweets, Baldwin also shared his support for independant media and explained that he believes the meaning of the word "Christian" in regards to politics has been greatly altered with this election.
