Homer Simpson Busts Putin Voting For Trump At The Polls In New Clip

Homer Simpson Busts Putin Voting For Trump At The Polls In New Clip

“The Simpsons” takes aim at GOP nominee Donald Trump’s reportedly cozy relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin in a new web short.

Homer Simpson is about to vote for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at the polls when he becomes suspicious of a Red Sox fan in front of him in line.

“Good businessman, never sleeps. Doesn’t pay his taxes…legally,” the Trump supporter says to Homer about his preferred candidate.

When the voter then praises “the orange man” for a campaign that promises to “make Russia great again,” Homer rips off his mask to reveal his true identity.

But it’s not a fairytale ending for Homer, who, for some reason, isn’t allowed to vote.

Putin, meanwhile, marches into a booth to cast his ballot. “Don’t worry, my hackers will get you in,” he says, before adding that Homer’s vote wouldn’t matter anyway “because Trump is winning 102 percent.”

FOX posted the cartoon online Friday, just two days before its landmark 600th episode airs on Sunday night.

Check it out in the clip above.

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
