The Simpsons have absolutely destroyed Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office

Paul Moore

The gags about Sean Spicer and Steve Bannon are class.

“I was elected to lead, not to read,” said President McBain, and if you’re taking the golden years of The Simpsons as gospel – why wouldn’t you? – there’s some very important tips that all politicians can learn.

For example, we now know that “Without Mayor Quimby, our town would really stink. We wouldn’t have a tire yard or a mid-sized roller rink. We wouldn’t have our gallows, or our shiny Bigfoot trap. It’s not the mayor’s fault…That the stadium collapsed”.

Oh yeah, we also know where the Republican party gathers.

To quote Donald Trump* ” your guilty conscience may move you to vote Democratic, but deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalise criminals, and rule you like a king. That’s why I did this, to save you from yourselves”, and having passed the 100 day marker in the White House, The Simpsons didn’t let the opportunity pass without a few perfectly executed gags.

Take a look.

*Fake news SAD! This was actually Sideshow Bob and as always, vote Quimby. If you were running for Mayor, he’d vote for you.
