Don Cheadle, who has been an adovocate for several human rights issues, continued his activism with two silent protests while hosting "Saturday Night Live."

The "Black Monday" actor wore a shirt that read "Protect Trans Kids" while introducing musical act Gary Clark Jr. The subtle but powerful stand and aknowledgement of trans children was applauded on social media and Cheadle didn't stop there. At the end of the show when he stood with the full cast, he made another wardrobe change.
Cheadle wore a jersey with "CCCP" on it, which stands for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The back had Trump's name with a backwards "r" and the number 45, which is often used to refer to Trump, who is the 45th president.
Celebrities and everyday Twitter users loved and praised his wardrobe and the messages they sent:
He tweeted out his appreciation for the love and support he received:
So I think it's safe to say, Don Cheadle 2, Trump 0.
