The Simpsons predicted Donald Trump's rise to power in the 2015 episode 
"Trumptastic Journey," where parody and reality blur.




In a shocking portrayal of fiction reflecting reality, 
The Simpsons predicted former President Donald Trump's political rise in 
the 2015 episode titled "Trumptastic Journey."




This couch gag features Homer Simpson examining Trump's outrageous hair, 
conveying a message when Trump's political career was still considered far-fetched.
The prediction also includes an earlier episode from 2000, 
"Bart to the Future," where Lisa mentions getting a budgetary crisis from 
"President Trump." Now, with Trump's 2024 comeback, the joke feels less like 
humor and more like prophecy.




"Trumptastic Journey" isn't just a joke; it reflects the show's ability to 
capture social developments, from Trump's celebrity-driven persona to 
America's political division. By showcasing Trump's bewildering character and 
the country's growing rifts, The Simpsons satirically predicted a new era in 
American politics.




With satire turning into reality, The Simpsons continues to remind 
audiences that absurdities today could be genuine factors tomorrow. 
Perhaps this moment is the perfect opportunity to revisit the show's 
previous episodes for other uncanny glimpses into our future.
