The Simpsons ridicule Trump's first 100 days

  • 28/04/2017

Much is made out of a US President's first 100 days in office - media and politicians alike use it as a marker for fulfilling campaign promises and establishing the style of governance for the entirety of their four-year term.

Donald Trump marks his 100th day in the White House on April 29 - and legendary cartoon series The Simpsons have created a special episode to parody his performance across the first few months he's been President.

A teaser clip has been released showing President Trump reviewing how he thinks he's done, and features a hanged press secretary Sean Spicer, a fighting Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner and a flustered Kellyanne Conway, along with other members of his administration.

The clip is densely packed with jokes made at President Trump's expense, including the appointment of his daughter Ivanka to a Supreme Court justice position in place of Democrat Ruth Bader Ginsburg - followed by a plug for her outfit that somehow links to the Trump administration's alleged ties to Russia.

"First 100 days in office, so many accomplishments," he says, surrounded by books entitled Killing a Good Thing by former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, Florida on $10 Million a Day and The Little Book of Big Bombs.

"I lowered my golf handicap, my Twitter following increased by 700, and finally we can shoot hibernating bears - my boys will love that," he says, as a dog disguised as a toupee tries to get comfortable on his head.

An adviser then enters showing Mr Trump a new bill "that lowers taxes for only Republicans", but he complains when he's told it can't be given to Fox News for him to hear about from them, shedding a single tear that his mechanical hair wipes away on his behalf.

The episode airs this weekend in the US.
