VIDEO: "The Simpsons" Mock President Trump in Song with The Squad & Dem Prez Candidates

The creators of "The Simpsons" are trolling President Trump yet again. And this time, a bunch of Democratic presidential candidates are along for the ride with a parody of the song "America" from "West Side Story."

In a clip titled the "WEST WING STORY" posted on the show's social media account this week, the President starts by complaining about his many problems and the need for a distraction. Then he grabs a group photo of Democratic congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib -- and breaks into song.

Watch.

The longest running TV show currently on TV,

I suspect both "Meet the Press" and "60 Minutes" have been on longer, and are both still on the air.

“The Simpsons” mocks everybody.
A sense of humor is required

Actually humor is required, and they have no sense of it, for it, or for their audience. The Simpson just isn’t funny. That died out with the show with Phil Hartman. It was cutting edge once, then Yardley Smith and that idiot Harry Shierer’s left wing politics took over and now it’s just the same liberal predictable, “Homer will do or be something stupid” formula.

Semantics. News programs aren't exactly the same as entertainment shows.

Regardless, only an American of complete ignorance regarding the world around them would not know what the Simpsons is, given it's been on TV since 1989 as a regular show and even prior as a segment.

That died out with the show with Phil Hartman.

I'm inclined to agree. Some of the funniest lines in the show's history were delivered by Lionel Hutz, Hartman's shopping mall lawyer character.

That died out with the show with Phil Hartman.

Same could be said for SNL.

Trivia Fact: Phil Hartman designed the cover for this platinum Poco album in the 80's.

He did this one too....

You truly are an idiot.

I suppose you also never heard us say... What’s ESPN?

[right way right]

They think it’s trendy.
I flagged it for hateful content.

2.3K like 20K dislike. 8>)

I’ll dislike when I watch it at home.

Groening was a cartoonist for the left wing alternate press before the Simpsons. He was a leftist from way back. The Simpsons may occasionally poke some leftist icons but generally it fits in just fine with leftist Hollyweird.

A while back, comedians and comedy show writers decided not to be funny anymore, so I never watch - it’s as simple as that.

Some might say they are still just as funny, but I get offended so I’ve lost my sense of humor - but that’s really not it.

From what I can see, they have truly given up even trying to be funny - their “jokes” are like “Trump is orange and he’s a racist” ???? Where’s the joke? There is nothing to laugh at.

To prove my point - once in a blue moon there IS something funny at Trump’s expense, or at the expense of Trump supporters - and I DO laugh (if it’s funny). So it’s not me being thin skinned - they are just no longer funny.

And it was around Season 10 that I stopped watching - and have not watched it since.

[Crucial]

That’s definitely a new low in popular culture.

I stopped watching in the early 2000’s. I love “FAMILY GUY” and “AMERICAN DAD” but even “Family Guy” has taken aim at Trump too with the already debunked ‘golden showers’ lie. It was their lowest-rated episode to date.

“SOUTH PARK” decided in 2016 that they would not discuss or animate Trump at all and they’ve kept their word. Its creators are both Libertarian and Conservative.
