This "SNL" Writer Is Responding To Trump's Tweets Like They're Texts And It's Weirdly Delightful

"I don't know why but this is delightful."

Earlier this month, SNL writer Josh Patten began a rather odd project: responding to President Trump's tweets as if they're texts.

In practice, it's way funnier than it sounds.

I mean, who among us hasn't sent this text:

Josh and Donnie are just two pals, talking about what they're doing for lunch.

And what to watch on Netflix.

"Proud to unveil my new, incredibly stupid project: Responding To Trump Tweets Like They Were Texts," Patten tweeted on Sunday.

Patten declined to comment to BuzzFeed News.

People have no idea why they're laughing so hard, but they are.

I don't know why but this is delightful. https://t.co/Ak7VF1jsiA

Why am I laughing so hard at this??? https://t.co/r7Jur7xV3j

Ok, I laughed https://t.co/Dvm39gmE6k

It's just so pure.

Occasionally an idea comes along--so simple, so pure--it makes me forget how fucked we all are https://t.co/DUZREpOmzk

This isn't stupid, it's amazing https://t.co/KIUFSVOqwb

Childish, pointless and will no doubt be ignored. I love it. https://t.co/F0Y0F4taFn

In conclusion:

Josh, sweetie, you're doing amazing. https://t.co/flLac8waBV
