Many Americans may not have seen a Donald Trump presidency coming, but 'The Simpsons' did, reports CBS News.
Back in 2000, an episode of the show featured a look into a future where Lisa Simpson has become nation’s new leader.
She and her team are hard at work assessing the damage done by her predecessor, President Trump.
Lisa laments that he left the nation with, “…quite a budget crunch…”
Her aides comment on the aftermath of Trump’s plans, noting they, “created a generation of ultra-strong super-criminals.”
In March, Simpson’s writer Dan Greaney spoke about the episode with the Hollywood Reporter.
He characterized the installment as “a warning to America,” and said it, “…just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane.”
