The Simpsons' take on President Trump's first 100 days is pretty dark

The Simpsons mock Donald Trump's first 100 days

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The Simpsons has made it very clear how it feels about America's new president, and in a teaser for a new episode posted on its Facebook page Wednesday, riffed on Donald Trump's first 100 days in office.

The video doesn't beat around the bush, opening with the corpse of press secretary Sean Spicer hanging in the conference room, a sign pinned on him saying 'I QUIT' and Kellyanne Conway witheringly commenting: "I am not replacing him."

We then move upstairs in The White House where Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon are strangling each other, while Trump is in bed listing his first 100 days accomplishments, including lowering his golf handicap and upping his Twitter following.

His hair is seen to have both canine and robotic properties, but the funniest moment occurs on Trump's TV, where his daughter Ivanka replaces Ruth Bader Ginsburg as Supreme Court Justice, complete with info box on where to buy her look.

Overtly political, the video ends with a calendar and the narration: "100 days; we are 6.8% of the way home. Paid for by Anybody Else 2020."
