•  In a move that few predicted (not including Kurt Cobain, who was the victim of a hoax claiming he endorsed Trump in ’93), Donald Trump is the next President of the United States.

Here’s the tweet from The Simpsons’ Twitter with that clip from this week’s episode:

Almost as hard as life is going to suck for everyone unlucky enough to be born without a white penis and a trust fund.  What do you think? Gonna get all pissy in the comments section?
