Family Guy devoted a whole episode to Donald Trump and it included a terrible scene. Showrunners Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin took some time out to explain why they felt that the scene in question was necessary. Poking fun of the president is nothing new and it’s something that shows like Saturday Night Live, South Park, late night talk shows, and The Simpsons have been doing for decades.

The photo was apparently taken Thursday, June 21st....
