*“Saturday Night Live’s” Michael Che used his “Weekend Update” anchor slot during Saturday’s season premiere to slaughter Donald Trump in the wake of his attacks on Puerto Rico and NFL players who take a knee.
During the segment, Che read aloud Trump’s tweet criticizing San Juan mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, in which he stated that she had “now been told by Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump.”
“Oh, really, Donald? You bitch,” Che said in a mocking tone. “Was she nasty to you? How nasty — are you shaking? You wanna go smoke a Virginia Slim until your hand stops moving?”
He continued, “This isn’t that complicated, man, it’s hurricane relief and people need help. You just did this for white people — twice. Do the same thing: Go tell Melania to put on her flood heels, get some bottled water, some food, pack up some extra Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl T-shirts, and write them a check with our money, you cheap cracker!”
Amid wild audience applause, Che concluded: “In one month you have mishandled Puerto Rico, DACA, the NFL … It’s like when anybody darker than your golf pants has a problem, you’re thinking, ‘How can I make this worse?’”

Later in the program, Jay-Z took the stage in a Nike football jersey bearing Colin Kaepernick’s number 7 and the name “Colin K” on the back for his performance of “Bam” with Damien Marley.
The tribute to Kaepernick comes a week after Trump called on owners to fire NFL players who protest racism and police brutality by taking a knee during the national anthem.
Watch Jay Z’s two “SNL” performances (“Bam” and “4:44”) below.
