To be fair, the questions aren’t that hard for anyone with a passing interest in The Simpsons. Really, there’s more of an outright evil bent with a soupçon of whimsy dashed in for Mr. Burns versus Donald Trump’s brash brand of asshattery which just finds him saying shitty things you could overhear at the Thanksgiving table coming out of your least favorite drunken uncle. But it’s still fun knowing how often the sinister musings of a literal cartoon villain could easily fit in the mouth of a real life cartoon like Trump.
