Does President Trump Remind You of Homer Simpson?

I just thought of this one now, so I couldn’t resist posting it.

Come on be honest now. Does Mr. Trump remind you of Homer Simpson?

In the Simpsons episode Homer’s Enemy, Frank Grimes put it best:

I have nothing personally against the guy. But you can fill in the rest yourselves :wink:.

:slight_smile:

No, because at the end of the day Homer is a decent person who genuinely cares about his family and friends. He’s a moron and screws up a lot but is capable of remorse.

Seconded. Homer does not intend nor try to harm others.

That particular episode is built off the “Emperor has no clothes” trope. Trump’s entire business and political careers are based on that trope.

You’d have to stir in some Mr. Burns, Fat Tony, and Mayor Quimby before he’d even begin to remind me of Donald Trump.

Yep, many do see Trump as closely related to Mr. Burns.

Homer has a soul.

No. Homer is sympathetic and is not driven by evil. Also, Homer appreciates a beer while Trump is more of an untrustworthy speed freak.

No…as others have said, Homer isn’t a bad guy, just dumb.

I would say that Trump is more like Todd Packer from The Office.

Well, I did post something a few months into Donny Two-scoops’ administration, during his Rocket Man era, about his first day.

Staffer: Here is the Oval Office, sir, and this is the Resolute Desk.
Donnie: O-o-oh. And what’s the big red button for?
Staffer: That, um, launches nuclear missiles at North Korea.
Donnie: Take that, King John Un! And that, and that, and that!
Staffer: [aside to another staffer] Good thing we disconnected that yesterday.

Needless to say, I was picturing a Homer voice for DJT.

All of the above. Homer gives a shit. He’s dumb, but actually cares. I would vote for Homer over Trump any day.

Todd Packer from the Office took a shit. Just like Trump is doing, and has done his entire life.

Not in the least. Homer has had chance after chance of cheating on Marge with several women who adored him. He never did.

However, I think Waylon Smithers is a damn good comparison to Pence. :smiley:

I’m sorry that when they make a movie about the Trump administration, Rodney Dangerfield isn’t around to play Donald. Every time ol’ Two Scoops whines about how the press or the Dems are being mean to him, I picture Rodney pulling on his collar and saying, “I don’t get no respect.”

Same as everyone else said - Homer is dumb but not evil. Trump is a narcissistic bully and Homer’s not.

In addition to what others have said about Homer being fundamentally well meaning, the Frank Grimes quote is particularly off because everyone realizes that Trump is an idiot. Democratic voters, independent voters, politicians of all parties, business leaders, foreign heads of state and their publics, etc. Even most of the Americans who voted for him realized he’s an idiot but saw him as preferable to the alternative. It’s a vanishingly small segment of die-hard Trumpers who continue to think that he’s some kind of a secret mastermind.

What Flurb said. That episode ends with Lenny saying, “That’s our Homer!”, while Homer snores at Frank Grimey Grimes’ funeral, moaning, “Change the channel, Marge.” Everyone knows Homer’s clueless.

Homer doesn’t care about having embarrassing moments. What Donny is most afraid of.

I think of Trump as Brick Tamland’s evil twin.

I’m still waiting for that part in the episode where Trump has a come to Jesus moment. And then he proceeds to makes a heartfelt apology promising to change the error of his ways.

Credits roll…

Mostly skin tone. And intelligence…

Homer is yellow and not orange. Homer is capable of love. Homer is much more intellectual.
