The Simpsons has a long history of mocking Trump, long before even those very first inklings of an election campaign; he was actually depicted as president in a nightmarish future envisioned back in 2000.
Though The Simpsons hasn’t shied away from its political leanings of late, taking every opportunity to mock Donald Trump, Matt Groening has still taken the opportunity to ensure his feelings are absolutely crystal clear.
“Then Bill O’Reilly called us pinheads and look what happened,” Groening added, a reference to O’Reilly leaving Fox News in disgrace in the light of multiple sexual harassment allegations having now surfaced.
It came after he confessed that executives at Fox had asked the show’s writers to go easier on Fox News after an episode aired a particular joke that the cable news outlet was “not racist, but no. 1 with racists”.
