In an episode aired in early 2000, the American cartoon series The Simpsons predicted what has today become reality: a Donald Trump Presidency. <br /><br /> 16 years ago, Lisa Simpson was pictured in the famous Oval Office, the President’s personal office, surrounded by advisors. <br /><br /> “As you know, we’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump”, she says. One of her advisors, Milhouse, then produces a chart showing the extent of the problem. <br /><br /> Writer Dan Greaney said in March that the storyline was chosen “because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane”. <br /><br /> “We needed Lisa to have problems that were beyond her fixing, that everything went as bad as it possibly could… that’s why we had Trump”. <br /><br /> “It was a warning to America”, he added. <br /><br /> But that warning was need heard by the American people. <br /><br /> They have chosen ‘The Donald’ as their next President, even after Trump was again featured last year in an episode which mocked his candidacy. <br /><br /> Watch the now infamous moment here: <br /><br /> <br /><br /> So how wrong did the pollsters get it?<br />
