Prior to his surprise foray into politics, Donald Trump was a semi-regular fixture on SNL mostly thanks to an impression from Darrell Hammond. The funnyman’s take on the real estate mogul was cartoonish and over the top but also kinda loveable. He was outrageous but always in a fun way that made him seem harmless.

The skit began with cast members solemnly discussing how  Trump’s win over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris  would be “shocking” and “horrifying” for many of the liberal-leaning shows

The cast then had a sarcastic message directly for the former president. “And that is why we at SNL would like to say to Donald Trump: we’ve been with you all along,” Thompson says before Yang adds, “We have never wavered in our support of you, even when others doubted you.”
