The episode from 2000, which was titled "Bart to the Future", showed vision of Bart's future. He has become an unsuccessful musician that gets bored on stage for the rare gig he happens to book. Bart's sister, Lisa, has been elected President and inherits the White House from none other than President Trump. She is the chief executive of the United States, or "America's first straight female president" as she calls it.The Simpsons updates its 2000 prediction of a Trump Presidency... #TheSimpsons pic.twitter.com/Myf5rYb9Dj— The Simpsons (@TheSimpsons) November 14, 2016
Dan Greaney, the writer of the said "Simpsons" episode, told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year that the Trump prediction was a "warning to America." He added, "Lisa comes into the presidency when America is on the ropes, and that is the condition left by Trump presidency. What we needed was for Lisa to have problems that were beyond her fixing, that everything went as bad as it possibly could, and that's why we had Trump be president before her."
"That just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting the bottom," he said. "It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane."
