The Simpsons has built a reputation for eerily predicting the future, and producer David Mirkin is reflecting on one of the show’s most surprising and amusing predictions—Donald Trump becoming president.
Speaking with The Post during Vulture Festival, Mirkin said, “Yes, predicting Donald Trump would be president is still one of the funniest predictions we ever made.”
Mirkin jokingly attributed the show’s uncanny knack for forecasting events to a humorous theory: “Various times in the writers’ room, time travelers appear, tell us things, just to put in the show and mess with people’s minds, and it works perfectly!”
This playful explanation adds to the intrigue surrounding The Simpsons’ long list of predictions that came true, from technological advancements like smartwatches to major historical events.
In related news, the show recently made headlines when a longtime voice actor retired from portraying a beloved character, marking the end of an era for the iconic series.
