Kristen Stewart Mocks Trump’s Obsession with Her on SNL: ‘The President Tweeted About Me Eleven Times’
The acclaimed actress addressed the president’s bizarre obsession—really, it was nuts—with her ‘Twilight’ breakup on the most recent edition of ‘Saturday Night Live.’
NBC
“I’m a little nervous to be hosting because I know that the president’s probably watching and, um, I don’t think he likes me that much. Here’s how I know.”
That’s how Kristen Stewart, the gifted star of Adventureland and Clouds of Sils Maria, opened her monologue for Saturday Night Live. The 26-year-old actress was, of course, addressing President Donald Trump’s completely bizarre obsession with her much-ballyhooed breakup from her Twilight costar, Robert Pattinson.
Yes, POTUS is apparently a Twihard. Which is, you know, super macho.“Four years ago I was dating this guy Rob—Robert—and we broke up and then we got back together, and for some reason it made Donald Trump go insane,” shared Stewart. “Here’s what he actually tweeted, and this is real”:
Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again--just watch. He can do much better!

Trump tweeted that. Then again, the portly real estate heir has always been obsessed with popular culture—especially attractive young A-list stars, or something he’ll never be. Trump also tweeted a zillion times about Katy Perry’s divorce from Russell Brand. Because god knows why.
“Now I know what you’re thinking, right? That’s so crazy! The president tweeted about you once!” exclaimed Stewart on SNL. “No, no, no. The president tweeted about me eleven times.”

Lots of response to my Pattinson/Kristen Stewart reunion. She will cheat again--100 certain--am I ever wrong?

Robert I'm getting a lot of heat for saying you should dump Kristen- but I'm right. If you saw the Miss Universe girls you would reconsider.

Everyone knows I am right that Robert Pattinson should dump Kristen Stewart. In a couple of years, he will thank me. Be smart, Robert.

Everyone is asking me to speak more on Robert & Kristen.I don't have time except to say "Robert, drop her, she cheated on you & will again!"
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 23, 2012
After Friday’s Twilight release, I hope Robert Pattinson will not be seen in public with Kristen--she will cheat on him again!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 13, 2012
Yep. That happened. There are more. This was a three-month obsession for Donald Trump, who also filmed some (since deleted) Vine videos about the tabloid breakup. Then again, perhaps Trump just had a fascination with Stewart’s remarkably well-coiffed British boyfriend—the man otherwise known as sparkly vampire Edward Cullen.
“OK. So to be fair, I don’t think Donald Trump hated me,” said Stewart, “I think he’s in love with my boyfriend, because he also tweeted this”:
Miss Universe 2012 Pageant will be airing live on @nbc & @Telemundo december 19th. Open invite stands for Robert Pattinson.

“So yeah, that’s crazy, right? The president is not a huge fan of me,” joked Stewart. “But that is so OK, and Donald, if you didn’t like me then, you’re really probably not going to like me now, because I’m hosting SNL and I’m like, so gay dude.”
Kristen Stewart, FTW.
