(18,672 posts)1. What was with Cheadle wearing a #45 Trump jersey?
He had it on at the end when the cast took final bows but the name on the back was actually spelled like this: TЯUMP.
Is he MAGA? I don't get it.

I just looked up when he turned around.

I remember him as far back as "Picket Fences" in the 90s...

Maybe Alec Baldwin can take a break for a bit because Individual 1 on TV is more ridiculous and funny than he is.
