'Donald Trump' set to appear in Family Guy

The President has received the cartoon treatment alongside his daughter Ivanka

A cartoon version of President Donald Trump has appeared in an online trailer for an episode of Family Guy that will air next week.

Actor Josh Robert Thompson, who will voice the President in the Fox comedy, posted a clip featuring Trump making an inappropriate comment to his daughter, Ivanka Trump.

The full clip from the episode entitled “Trump Guy” can be viewed below.

The show makes light of the President’s previous comments towards Ivanka, skewing his comments to The View in 2006 when he said: “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about the making of the episode, executive producer Alec Sulkin said: “We’re just playing to what Trump has already confessed to, say, on a bus”.

Family Guy previously launched an attack on Trump over his obscene comments on the 2005 bus ride with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush.

Rich Appel, also an executive producer, told EW the episode would feature “an epic, many minute long fight” between Trump and Peter Griffin after something happens to Meg Griffin.

“In the history of the show, Peter hasn’t been that paternal with Meg, but he certainly likes Meg [more] than he likes Donald Trump, and that’s saying something,” Appel says. “When that [Trump’s] hair is actually wet, it can be a cat o’nine tails. And it’s used quite effectively against Peter.”

“Trump Guy” will be a direct follow up last week’s “Hefty Shades of Grey Episodes”, which saw Peter becoming a reporter of local current affairs in Washington, taking on the role of delivering the Capitol’s fake news.

Family Guy airs on Fox every Sunday at 9pm ET. “Trump Guy” airs this Sunday (13 January).
