What did The Simpsons predict?

In the 2000 episode “Bart To The Future,” Donald Trump was actually mentioned by name as POTUS. The episode features Lisa as the president saying in the Oval Office, “As you know, we inherited quite a budget crisis from President Trump.”

In 2017, a week after Trump became the 45th President of the United States, the recurring blackboard gag at the start of the show was: “Being right sucks.” The prediction seemed pretty perfect considering the Trump administration recorded the third-highest deficit increase of any president.

More recently, the episode went viral when Harris became the first female US vice president. Lisa was seen wearing very similar clothing to the Veep – a purple suit, a pearl necklace and pearl earrings.
