'Simpsons' Lists 50 Reasons Why Re-Electing Trump Is Terrifying in Exclusive 'Treehouse of Horror' Clip

preview

Fox/20th/Matt GroeningThere’s nothing scarier than the 2020 election, which makes it the perfect opener for this year’s edition of “” Halloween-themed “.”Variety has an exclusive first look at the 31st installment, which opens on Election Day 2020. Marge calls Homer to remind him to vote, and he gets to the polling station just in time — where he seems decided in just about every position (including Amazon Alexa for Governor) except for the presidential race.That’s when a flummoxed Lisa can’t believe that, after everything that has happened these past four years, her father is still undecided. (To be fair, when asked to remember what’s happened since 2016, Homer can only picture one headline: “Faye Dunaway gives Oscar to wrong movie and is never seen again.”)A helpful scroll then lists just a fraction of some of the things that has done that makes him unfit for president. (And the list misses plenty, such as the millions of dollars his businesses have charged the Secret Service, or the 280 days of golf that has cost taxpayers an estimated $141 million.)Here is that list:Made it okay to shoot hibernating bearsPut children in cagesCalled Mexicans rapistsImitated disabled reporterLooks lousy in a tennis outfitCan’t get wife to hold handCalled third world countries ****holesCalled Tim Cook ‘Tim Apple’Said Jewish people who vote Democrat are disloyalShowed top secret documents at Mar-A-Lago restaurantCalled white supremacists ‘fine people’Leaked classified information to Russian ambassadorAsked the president of Ukraine to investigate the BidensCalled for China to investigate the BidensWalked into the dressing room at Miss Teen USA pageantPressed the Australian prime minister to help Barr investigate MuellerTalked about grabbing *****Lied about the size of his inaugurationRefused to release tax returnsGutted the E.P.A.Confiscated and destroyed interpreter’s notes after meeting with PutinTweeted classified photo of Iran missile siteCalled Baltimore a ‘disgusting, rat and rodent-infested mess’Described Meryl Streep as ‘over-rated’Leaked information to the press about the 2017 Manchester arena bombingDid not attend any White House correspondents’ dinnerSaid Megyn Kelly had ‘blood coming out of her whatever’Called Carly Fiorina ‘horseface’Ruined impeachmentBrought Ivanka to the G7 summitCorrupted CongressAppointed and didn’t fire Betsy DeVosPut Jared in charge of MideastServed McDonald’s to Clemson football teamDestroyed democracyLost Hong KongThreatened Marie YovanovitchPulled the U.S. out of climate agreementAllowed bounties on soldiersInvaded PortlandWithdrew from W.H.O.Bragged about knowing the dateCommuted sentencesSaid to swallow bleachPerson, woman, man, camera, TVDestroyed post officePaid $750 in taxesWants third termWanted to be on Mount RushmoreAnd we haven’t even said the worst oneMeanwhile, “Treehouse of Horror XXXI” also includes parodies of Pixar, “Toy Story,” “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and Netflix’s “Russian Doll.” The 688th episode of “The Simpsons,” “Treehouse of Horror XXXI” airs on Sunday, Oct. 18 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.JavaScript is required to load the comments.Loading comments...A Variety and iHeartRadio PodcastadTo help keep your account secure, please log-in again.You are no longer onsite at your organization.
