Don Cheadle used his time as host of Saturday Night Live to make a few statements.

Cheadle silently advocated for trans rights with a shirt that read "Protect Trans Kids" before commenting on President Trump's close ties to Russia.

Cheadle wasn't the only one to poke fun at the president during Saturday Night Live. Alec Baldwin returned to the show, reprising his role as Trump, to declare a national emergency. The show garnered criticism from the president on Twitter.
