The fine people at The Simpsons are now getting in on sending up Donald Trump’s candidacy, in a promotional sketch released on YouTube.
In the sketch, titled “Trumptastic Voyage,” Homer ends up at The Donald’s announcement speech — and soon gets lost in a mystical journey through the man’s hair.
“Ahhh, it’s so wispy,” Homer says, exulting. “It’s a gravity-defying combover. I can’t believe that this was once on his ass.”
