Comedian Aziz Ansari ripped President Trump during the first “Saturday Night Live” episode of Trump’s presidency.

“I can’t believe this. I’m here hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’ the day after Trump’s inauguration,” Ansari said. “Pretty cool to know though he’s probably at home right now watching a brown guy make fun of him, though, right?”

“Crazy couple of days, man,” he continued. “Yesterday, Trump was inaugurated. Today an entire gender protested against him. Wow.” 

Ansari also mocked Trump supporters, saying they “don’t have to pretend to not be racist anymore.”

Ansari said that a “casual white supremacy” has developed as a response to Trump’s election.

Trump was inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States on Friday. On Saturday, millions of protesters gathered around the world in anti-Trump women’s marches.
