“The Simpsons” writer Dan Greaney said that the episode that aired over 15 years ago showing Donald Trump as president was a warning.
Dan Greaney, wrote the episode “Bart to the Future,” which aired in 2000. In the episode, Bart’s sister Lisa, was the first “straight female” commander-in-chief and was having a difficult time after “President Trump” had left office.
“As you know, we’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump,” Lisa says to her staff, as she tells them the country’s economy is down the drain.
“It was a warning to America,” Greaney told The Hollywood Reporter.
“And that just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane,” he added.
It seems like Trump is following the cartoon’s script, at least to the extent that the real estate mogul is currently seeking the GOP nomination.
