'Sesame Street's' brutal parodies of Donald Trump

Since the 1980s, 'Sesame Street' has featured a few greedy, grouchy characters who have had names like Ronald Grump and Donald Grump. Here's a look at the three of them.

This explains Trump's hatred for PBS.

It's almost like sesame street was trying to tell us something way back in 2004

If they parodied Trump now the difference would be that Grump would try to make the residents of Sesame Street pay for Grump Tower.

Edit: I watched the full episode of Grump Tower and they actually did pay for it. Which makes the Sesame Street parody more successful than the real Trump.

Honestly, sesame street was very ahead of time on their criticisms of Trump. Hell, SNL makes fun of Trump now but they invited him to host twice. It wasn't common to criticize him at all back then.

"You won't miss all this !"
Shows a bunch of brown and black people.
I guess it really is Trump.

My 21 year old daughter and 16 year old son are in shock at these videos. They watched sesame street all the time

You need to teach kids how to spot a toxic person when they see one. Stay away from narcissistic, miserable people. They will only bring you down.

Wow they had Trump figured out a long time ago...😮

"Where I go, they go."
My God, they predicted Q Anon too. 🤥🤔

And now in 2025 Chump has defunded Sesame Street! Netflix is going to pick it up, but kids won't be able to watch it for free anymore.

All five of Trump's supporters were triggered by this video.

0:00 I just hope that the show didn’t rebuild Big Bird, he will never age in a scary way. And why’s the Cookie Monster inside the box?! 😂

I'd like to know what year the Apprentice skit was created. If it was before the NBC show or after?

People have known about Trump 4ever, but his cult of people can’t see.

Even Sesame Street tried to warn us....
