No, The Simpsons as a show does not support Trump, in fact The Simpsons has been generally critical and satirical of Donald Trump over many years, portraying him in a mocking and negative light. The Simpsons is a long-running animated satire created by Matt Groening that satirizes American politics, culture, and both liberal and conservative figures, but its portrayal of Donald Trump has been consistently negative and comedic. The Simpsons famously predicted Trump's presidency in a 2000 episode Bart to the Future where Lisa becomes president and says we inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump. Since Trump became president, The Simpsons has featured him in multiple episodes as a buffoonish, incompetent, or corrupt character. For example, in 2015, they had a short called Trumptastic Voyage, and in 2017 episodes, they depicted Trump in the White House with jokes about his tweets and policies. The show's writers and producers, including Al Jean, have publicly stated they do not support Trump and have used the show to criticize him. Some viewers misinterpret jokes as support, but the show's political lean is generally liberal and left-leaning, mocking both parties but more harshly mocking Trump. The Simpsons has also predicted many things about Trump that came true, but those were satirical warnings, not endorsements. So The Simpsons does not support Trump, it satirizes him.

The Simpsons does not support Trump as show, The Simpsons is animated satirical comedy that has generally been critical of Donald Trump, portraying him negatively in many episodes, though show satirizes all political figures from both parties with liberal-leaning perspective typical of Hollywood writers. The Simpsons, created by Matt Groening, has been on air since 1989, known for political satire that mocks both Republicans and Democrats, but overall writers and producers lean left, with many jokes critical of Trump, including episode Bart to the Future from 2000 which jokingly predicted Trump presidency with Lisa saying we inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump, portrayed as joke about Trump being bad president, and later episodes after Trump became president in 2016 showed Trump as villain, with episodes like The Serfsons and others mocking Trump policies, wall, and behavior. The Simpsons has also made fun of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and other Democrats, but Trump has been frequent target of criticism, with producers like Al Jean publicly critical of Trump. However, The Simpsons as fictional show does not officially endorse or support any political candidate, it is entertainment satirizing politics, not political organization, with individual writers having personal views but show itself is comedy that makes fun of everyone. Some viewers perceive bias, but show's stance is satirical critique, not support, with many Trump supporters disliking Simpsons portrayal of Trump as corrupt and incompetent. So The Simpsons does not support Trump, it has generally been critical and satirical of Trump, portraying him negatively, though it satirizes all politicians, with liberal-leaning writers but as comedy show not political endorsement, it does not officially support any candidate including Trump.
