US cartoon sitcom Family Guy has savagely taken down Donald Trump with a White House-set episode entitled “Trump Guy”.

The episode, which aired on Sunday night US time, skewered Mr Trump (voiced by Josh Robert Thompson) and his entire family and staff, including Ivanka, Melania, Jared Kushner and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. However, the most controversial moment came during an interaction in which Mr Trump sexually assaults Meg Griffin in the Oval Office.

The moment, as well as the episode as a whole, was praised by Mr Trump’s critics, but his supporters took to Twitter to share their distaste for the “liberal whine fest”.

“Trump Guy”centres on Peter Griffin’s new role as press secretary, which he is, unsurprisingly, pretty bad at. Peter’s main role involves walking into rooms before Mr Trump “to make sure there’s no static electricity” that would mess up the President’s hair. Later, he and his family attend an event at the White House, where Ivanka introduces Meg to Mr Trump. As Meg describes how she’s “a huge fan”, Mr Trump tries to reach up her dress. When she jumps back, he insists, “Every president since Washington has done this.”

Back at home, Meg’s family doesn’t believe that “the President of the United States would grab a woman by her p***y” (a clear reference to the Access Hollywood tape) but when they see Mr Trump assaulting her again, Peter jumps to her defence.

“Mr President, what would your third wife — the softcore, girl-on-girl porn lady — think about this?” he asks. “Or the actual porn star your lawyer paid hush money to?”

Peter quits and, at the end of the episode, he and Mr Trump get into a knock-down-drag-out fight that leaves both bruised and bloody.

Family Guy’s take-down was applauded by social media users critical of Mr Trump.

“Family Guy accurately portrayed the idiot in the White House,” one user wrote.

“Funniest episode of all time,” another said.
