The Simpsons Predicted Donald Trump Will Be President 16 Years Ago


As we try to come in terms with the fact that Donald J. Trump is actually going to be the 45th President of U.S.A—it turns out that 'The Simpsons' had predicted this all along. In the episode titled ‘Bart to the Future', which aired in March 2000, Lisa (bearing a stark resemblance to Hilary Clinton) becomes the first "Straight Female President" and addresses the crowd saying, "We’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump..."

Matt Groening—creator of 'The Simpsons' told The Guardian: ‘We predicted that he would be president back in 2000 – but [Trump] was of course the most absurd placeholder joke name that we could think of at the time, and that’s still true. It’s beyond satire.’

Watch: 

The joke (sadly) is on all of us now!
