To celebrate President Trump's first 100 days in office, The Simpsons gave the president its Halloween-special treatment, a short clip that shows a sinister White House on a dark and stormy night, Sean Spicer hanging in the press briefing room, to Kellyanne Conway's annoyance. Stephen Bannon and Jared Kushner are strangling each other, and Trump is in bed, reprising his first 100 days: "So many accomplishments: lowered my golf handicap, my Twitter following increased by 700, and finally we can shoot hibernating bears — my boys will love that."
The entire clip is filled with detailed, pointed critiques of Trump, from wanting Fox News to summarize a bill for him on cutting only Republican taxes to Ivanka Trump shilling her Supreme Court robe as Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dragged from the bench. There is a lot going on in the short cartoon, but maybe the most realistic part is Homer and Marge watching it all play out on TV. With 100 days gone, "we are 6.8 percent of the way home," the voiceover reminds viewers, assuming there's no second term. Watch below. Peter Weber
