The Simpsons predicted 16 years ago that Donald Trump will be president

A March 19, 2000 episode of The Simpsons 9FOX series showed that Donald Trump would be president of the United States.

In the chapter titled Bart to the future, an indigenous American oracle allows the son of Homer Simpson to look into the future.

What the prophecy reveals is an adult Bart Simpson dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops who visits his sister Lisa, who lives in the White House as the first "heterosexual woman president."

In his walk through the presidential mansion, Bart watches his sister discussing with his co-workers the "tight budget" that President Trump left behind after "breaking" the country.

In March, Dan Greaney, the scriptwriter of that chapter, explained to The Hollywood Reporter that Bart to the future was a kind of "warning America" ​​of the upcoming presidential election, as the New York billionaire was already emerging as the winner Of the republican primaries.

"That story was squeezed to square with the idea of ​​a United States going crazy," said the writer. "As The Simpsons has always embraced the extreme side of American culture ... [Trump] is simply the embodiment of it."
