WTF. The Simpsons predicted a Trump presidency.

It's been a while since I've watched Season 11. I was watching Bart to the Future and Lisa is having a meeting in the oval office saying that they inherited a large deficit from president Trump.

Was that line always there and I missed it?

They also predicted Disney buying Fox. The Simpsons writers are time travelers.

Yes, its always been there. Its been caught and discussed for a long time. There are a lot of Simpsons predictions that came true.

The Simpsons have been running for thirty years; they were bound to get some shit right here and there.

It's just like Back to the Future 2 predicted it too. They didn't say Trump but they made old Biff based on Trump.

I'm surprised with the name maxxpower and a simpsons avatar, you would be among the first to know.

Yes. Trump's been talking about running for President for decades so the Simpsons made a joke about how messed up everything would be if he actually got elected.

...America did not get the joke and did it for realz though

They also had the "first straight female president" line which was a joke about Hillary.

It wasn't a prediction. Trump has been talking about running for President for decades. They were making fun of his comments back then.

This isn't fake but it's from a 2015 YouTube video making fun of the real life event. This wasn't in the 2000 episode. The only Trump thing in the 2000 episode was the throw away line about the country being broke after the Trump administration messed everything up.

The background in the second shot is clearly a photo that has gone through a Photoshop filter to flatten the color. Yeah, It's fake.

It's not fake. It's just from a separate 2015 video the Simpsons made right after Trump announced his presidency (warning: it's really not that funny)

I remember hearing about this, but I thought it was just completely fake. Like, I saw the picture and then later read it was from a 2015 episode and thought the whole thing was fake.
