The Simpsons seems to have predicted the Donald's presidency... and it didn't end well: Time travel episode from 2000 featured a broke nation reliant on aid from China. Sounds familiar? Some details:

- The episode called Bart to the Future includes vision of the US in 2030
- Lisa Simpson has just been elected president - to succeed Trump
- The nation's financial ruin due to Trump policies is revealed
- In contrast to his 2016 rhetoric, the US is shown taking handouts from China
- Lisa has to institute massive tax hikes in order to dig America out of its hole
- The Simpsons has 'predicted' world events before, including Ebola, the discovery of the Higgs boson particle and the Arab Spring

Cue the Nostradamic (sic?) hindsight doomsday predictions (https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/2163068/donald-trumps-victory-was-predicted-by-nostradamus-who-said-it-would-bring-about-the-end-of-the-world-say-conspiracy-theorists/).

Oh no. Not another Antichrist...

I'm more worried when something happens which Nostradamus didn't predict would end the world. It's always the anti-Christ you don't see coming that gets ya.

when something happens which Nostradamus didn't predict

Un-possible! Nostradamus predicted everything! Even things he didn't predict, we can now interpret to have been predicted by him!

That's how he good he was!

Fine, fine. Just saying, the day I hear a news story saying, "Doomsayers agree, this president elect is not the anti-Christ", I'm heading out to stock up on MREs, water filters, and ammo.

The Kid Who Ran For President also did.
