Even cartoon Donald can’t believe he’s president (Picture: Fox) The Simpsons’ knack of successfully predicting real-life events has become a great source of fascination among fans. From forecasting Disney’s 2019 takeover of 20th Century Fox to foreseeing The Rolling Stones’ continued stamina for playing live well into their 70s (albeit not on the Steel Wheelchair Tour), the writers of the long-running cartoon should really start playing the lottery given their track record of predictions. Right up there in the Simpsons’ crystal ball-gazing endeavours is their 2000 prediction of Donald Trump’s still baffling rise to the White House 16 years later. {“@context”:“https:\/\/schema.org”,“@type”:“VideoObject”,“name”:“Metro.co.uk”,“duration”:“T8S”,“thumbnailUrl”:“https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/pix\/met\/2016\/11\/09\/05\/3A322DE900000578-0-image-a-1_1478669298083.jpg”,“uploadDate”:“2016-11-09T05:27:08+0000”,“description”:“The cartoon predicted that Donald Trump would be President years ago”,“contentUrl”:“https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2016\/11\/09\/926414105532320974\/480x270_MP4_926414105532320974.mp4”,“height”:270,“width”:480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The episode Bart to the Future imagined Lisa Simpson succeeding Donald Trump in office and inheriting a massive budget crisis. Dan Greaney, who is credited with writing the episode in question, told The Hollywood Reporter in 2016 that the joke had been intended as ‘a warning to America’. ‘That just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom,’ he said. ‘It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane.’ Yeardley Smith, who voices Lisa, has now given her take on how the writers managed to imagine this most unlikely of scenarios years before it became reality. Lisa voice actress Yeardley Smith is a fan of the Simpsons’ future-predicting (Picture: Randy Shropshire/Getty Images for The Human Rights Campaign ) ‘They literally thought, “What’s the silliest, most outrageous, dumbest idea for a president we can possibly think of?”’ Smith told News.com.au in a new interview. The voice actress also thought it was ‘uncanny’ how the show again managed to ‘predict’ Trump’s infamous escalator arrival to his first presidential announcement back in 2015. Down he goes… (Picture: Christopher Gregory/Getty Images) It should be noted, however, that the joke Smith mentions was part of the surreal YouTube short Trumptastic Voyage, which aired a month after the now-President’s viral moment. ‘Now, Donald Trump is not a fan of the Simpsons,’ Smith added. ‘We’re not his cup of tea, so we don’t think he watched it and thought, “I’m going to copy and do it that way.” While Smith mixed up her love of Simpsons/Trump predictions on this occasion, her admiration of the show’s remarkable political forecast in 2000 still stands. And, as Smith says, it’s ‘one of the best predictions’ the show’s ever pulled off. Got a showbiz story?
