President Trump on Sunday bashed "Saturday Night Live" after its season premiere, claiming that the show "is just a political ad for the Dems."

The president in a tweet claimed he does not watch the show, despite previously hosting it and regularly being a focal point of its sketches.

"Saturday Night Live" opened its 44th season with actor Adam Driver hosting and West, a vocal Trump supporter, serving as the musical guest.
