BURN! 'The Simpsons' lampoons Donald Trump over his 100 days in White House

The Simpsons do it again and US President Donald Trump ain't gonna be pleased, at all. Trolling hard over his first 100 days, the 84-second clip aired on Fox Animated Comedy's twitter account left no stone unturned to take a dig at Donald trump and his crew.

The diabolic-looking White House in the storm, the hanging press secretary Sean Spicer with 'I Quit' sign, the fearful Kellyanne Conway fleeing, the aggressive Trump strategist Steve Bannon in a fight with Jared Kushner (allegedly!), Trump in pink pajamas with a dog wig, the chic Ivanka replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the depressed pill-popping Marge Simpson, nothing was spared!
With more than 5.5 million hits on YouTube, the viral video celebrates the fact that Trump has completed 6.8% of his presidency.

The clip also featured Trump saying, "A hundred days in office, 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,".

On his bed, beside him were the following books - a Bill O'Reilly book entitled Killing a Good Thing, a guide called Florida on $10 Million a Day and The Little Book of Big Bombs. Referring to Fox and Bill O'Reilley sexual harassment incident, Trump's frequent trips to Mar-a-Lago, and the 'Mother of all bombs' dropped on Afghanistan (It could very well be a reference to Syria Missile attack), respectively.

He also shed a tear when his aide begged him to read a bill which lowered tax only for the republicans; a bill which he was unwilling to read as he wanted Fox news to read it and telecast on TV, make is simple to understand.

The Twitterati went berserk after the video surfaced. A heavy dose of entertainment for all, Twitter was flushed with plethora of tweets from across the world that either LOL-ed at the video or lambasted it. Some angry Trump-supported also sparked a debate as to why Ivanka Trump was dragged into it. It is not for the first time, The Simpsons did something like this. Back in 2000, they predicted his presidency in an episode and got the world go gaga over its ability to make eerie yet accurate future predictions.

In an episode aired in 1999, they introduced 'radiation spawned mutant tomatoes' which were proved to exist in 2013. Similarly, in 2008, they showed a voting machine changing Homer's vote just like the one that did in reality in 2012.

The Simpsons has bagged 32 Emmys under the 'Best Satire Category' and is now nearing the end of its 28th season.
