NEW YORK >> President Donald Trump panned the season premiere episode of “Saturday Night Live,” but tweeted praise for Kanye West, who closed the show with a pro-Trump message.
Saturday’s show opened with Matt Damon playing Brett Kavanaugh in a parody of Thursday’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on sexual assault claims.
As the show ended, West took the stage wearing a Make America Great Again hat and made an unscripted pro-Trump speech after the credits rolled.
Videos of the speech circulated on social media.
Trump tweeted today that he didn’t watch the show — it’s “no longer funny” and “is just a political ad for the Dems.”
He added: “Word is that Kanye West, who put on a MAGA hat after the show (despite being told ‘no’), was great. He’s leading the charge!”
