Last week, Kanye followed his appearance as musical guest on Saturday Night Live by hijacking the curtain call. West ranted on myriad half-cooked conceptions of politics, race, history, and, perhaps most notably, what it means to be bullied.

Davidson explained that West wore the MAGA throughout the week of rehearsals, debunking the claim of persecution for his beliefs. He was also sure to note that “being mentally ill is not an excuse to act like a jackass,” and that if what we saw last Saturday was West sans medication, he should probably just take them. Davidson capped the segment by unveiling his own redesign of the MAGA hat.
