It turns out The Simpsons predicted Donald Trump's election as US president sixteen years ago. The story-line appeared in an episode titled 'Bart To The Future' which was broadcast in early 2000.
In the episode, Lisa is seen sitting in the Oval Office with her advisers.
"We've inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump," she says.
"How bad is it Secretary van Houten?"
Last month, the show's creator Matt Groening, told The Guardian they chose Trump because he was the most "absurd".
"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."
Meanwhile, writer Dan Greaney told The Hollywood Reporter that the episode was a 'warning'.
"It was a warning to America. 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."
