The short answer is it did not. Social media users have revisited the predictions made by the US cult series The Simpsons after the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The shooting, which occurred on Saturday, resulted in Trump being grazed by a bullet in the ear as he addressed the crowd. The incident also resulted in one death and two injuries among the rally attendees, as confirmed by local authorities. The show has long been known for its supposed foresight of future events, leading some to wonder if the recent events align with its predictions.

“Are you stupid?”
The renewed focus on The Simpsons stems from an old image that went viral in 2020, depicting Trump in a coffin. The image was widely debunked, but the show has previously featured Trump in various scenarios, fueling speculation about its predictive powers.
Social media users on ‘X’ expressed their skepticism and disbelief: “The Simpsons underestimated Trump so hard,” one user commented. One of the saner voices wrote, “Are you stupid? None of those Simpsons episodes is real, you can make something like that in a few seconds with AI, bro people would believe in anything on the internet.
Despite the chaos, Trump on Saturday showed resilience, emerging with blood on his face and raising his fist to reassure supporters. He was quickly escorted to safety by security personnel. US security agencies identified the shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, from Pennsylvania. US Secret Service agents killed him following the shooting on Trump.
