Here's an exhaustive breakdown of each Trump cohort's Simpsons analog
Comparing pop culture figures to the cretins in President Donald Trump’s circle is nothing new, but, Jesus Christ, a writer named Alessandro King has definitively conquered this particular brand of meme. When he promised on Twitter to discover the “Simpsons analog” of “everyone in Trump’s orbit” he wasn’t kidding, and his exhaustiveness is matched only by just how on point each one is.

The specificity and absolute accuracy of these analogs was previously thought unpossible.

From now, we call him Anthony ScaraPOOCHIE.
And we’ll just let this one speak for itself.
