An episode of The Simpsons several years ago warned that future incoming president Lisa Simpson was having to deal with the recession caused by a Trump presidency. The writers now are clearly extremely worried that their prediction might become a reality with a new short put out by the Fox-owned television show that talks about the difference between the 3am phone call to the president. The short is based on the 2008 Hillary ad used against then-rival Barack Obama. Now it’s used to mock Trump who will be more focused on tweeting about ejecting Elizabeth Warren, getting his spray tan and dog-based hair-do than worrying about invading forces.
