‘The Simpsons’ Lists 50 Donald Trump Controversies in New Clip
“The Simpsons” is taking aim at Donald Trump’s presidency for the show’s 31st installment of its series of Halloween episodes.
Variety revealed the long-running cartoon’s latest political bit, from the upcoming episode “Treehouse of Horror XXXI,” on Tuesday. The new scene shows Homer at a polling location, confident in all of his voting decisions sans the presidential vote. A mask-clad Lisa then barges into Homer’s voting booth to ask him if he has forgotten all of the happenings over the last four years. A list of many of the president’s controversial actions and remarks, ranging from calling Mexicans rapists to referring to Apple CEO Tim Cook as Tim Apple, flashes over the screen.
“The Simpsons” has long done bits about American politics — the show generated headlines when fans realized that it joked about a Trump presidency in an episode from 2000 — and has offered plenty of takes on politics during the last four years. The show recently released a video where Marge Simpson berated Trump campaign advisor Jenna Ellis for referring to vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ voice as similar to Marge’s.
