‘The Simpsons’ to Parody Trump University 2 Days $25M Fraud Settlement Approved (Video)

Trump, who settled with former Trump U students over allegations the for-profit college cheated them, is a frequent target of the Fox animated series

This Sunday night, “The Simpsons” will air a suspiciously timed new episode parodying Trump University, the now-defunct for-profit real estate college owned and operated by the Trump Organization until it went out of business in 2010.

The episode will feature “Burns University,” a for-profit college established by evil businessman Montgomery Burns, with guest appearances including Neil deGrasse Tyson. You can watch a preview of Tyson’s appearance as well as a look at the episode’s plot, in a video first posted by Indiewire, above.

As it happens, the episode will air just two days after final approval was granted for a $25 million settlement of three class action lawsuits brought against Trump by former students.
