This is far from the first time that The Simpsons has poked fun at Donald Trump. From the moment his candidacy was announced back in 2015, the sitcom has lampooned Trump for his campaign strategies, his twitter rants and his actions as president. However, The Simpsons also teased Trump back when he was simply a businessman and television personality. In 2000's "Bart to the Future," the series had a flash-forward depicting Lisa inheriting the presidency from Trump, whose policies left the United States government broke. Of the episode, writer Dan Greaney said it was less of a prediction and more of "a warning to America."
In addition to the satire of the election, "Treehouse of Horror XXXI" will also feature parodies of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Pixar. Additionally, one part of the Halloween special will focus on Lisa's ninth birthday, an uncommon occurrence given that the characters have remained the same age since the show's first season.
"Treehouse of Horror XXXI" will air on Oct. 18 on Fox.
