Saturday Night Live went on to make fun of Kanye West and Donald Trump‘s recent meeting at the White House in its latest episode.

In the skit, we see Trump (played by Alec Baldwin) and Kanye West (played by SNL cast member Chris Redd) talk about a slew of things at the Oval Office including flying cars, alternate universes, mental illness and Superman. At the start, Trump also shows the audience a pair of “Cream White” YEEZY BOOST V2s which were a gift from Kanye West. SNL Trump says, “They’re perfect for me because they’re white, they’re wide and they’re never going to be worth as much as you say they are.”

As Kanye’s rant about space and time and being a genius continues in the skit, Trump then realizes that Kanye West is “black me” or as he puts it, “It’s like being visited by the ghost of Christmas black.” Ultimately, West proclaims Trump to be his dad and gives him a big hug.

Watch the entire skit above. In other recent Kanye news, the 41-year old rapper returned to Twitter to talk about “mind control.”
