Trump sings Kanye West's praises: 'SNL' just a 'political ad for the Dems'

President Trump blasted "Saturday Night Live" on Sunday, saying the show is no longer funny after rapper Kanye West claimed he was "bullied" backstage at the NBC late-night comedy sketch show for donning a "Make America Great Again" hat.

"Like many, I don’t watch Saturday Night Live (even though I past hosted it) - no longer funny, no talent or charm," Trump posted on Twitter. "It is just a political ad for the Dems. 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!"

After performing "Ghost Town" to close out the 44th season premiere for "SNL," West's complaints about the behavior of some of people backstage were aired live on TV before the program concluded.

"They bullied me backstage. They said, 'don't go out there with that hat on. They bullied me backstage. They bullied me! And then they say I'm in a sunken place," West said. "You want to see the sunken place? Okay, I'ma listen to ya'll now — or I'ma put my Superman cape on, 'cause this means you can't tell me what to do. Follow your heart and stop following your mind. That's how we're controlled. That's how we're programmed. If you want the world to move forward, try love."
