The Simpsons has a knack of predicting the future but they may have surpassed themselves with this one – predicting Donald Trump would be president of America a full 16 years ago.

In the episode ‘Bart to the Future’, which aired in March 2000, Lisa takes the top job and says: ‘We’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump’ – as shown in the clip below.
‘That just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane.’

The Simpsons creator Matt Groening also 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.’
