Is Trump vs. "The Squad" the worst thing The Simpsons has ever done?

The online-only West Side Story-themed parody released on Tuesday "features just about every stupid lib attack line about the president that you can imagine," says Jack Mirkinson. "Dumb Putin joke? Check! Trump is fat joke? Check! Impeachment joke? Check! There’s even an EMOLUMENTS joke for god’s sake. I was practically under the table 15 seconds in. It’s so bad. I beg The Simpsons, a program I cherish: Please never do something like this again. They may have done things as awful as this video before, but they’ve certainly never done anything worse."

This is why the Simpsons usually avoid topical humor. It takes a long time to produce the episodes, and everything seems dated by the time it's out. The "Squad" is certainly not taken seriously anymore, even by remotely moderate Democrats. And the mention of Russia is just silly now.
