Donald Trump is stronger than the ‘Curse of the Simpsons’ after his prediction of a shooting turns out to be wrong

Claims are all over social media that The Simpsons actually predicted Donald Trump’s attack. People are noticing strange parallels between a Simpsons episode and what happens in real life, sparking heated debates and intrigue. Screenshots and clips circulating online have people wondering if the show can really predict things that will happen. But the most interesting thing is that if the claims are true, Trump is stronger than the curse. Here’s how

The Simpsons predicted Donald Trump’s attack

The Simpsons’ talent for predicting the future is legendary – from the rise of Donald Trump to the death of Elizabeth and so on. Now, one social media user is claiming that The Simpsons predicted Trump’s shooting. The user shared screenshots from the episode and commented: “The Simpsons have some explaining to do.”

The images show Trump lying in a coffin, a scenario that obviously did not happen but has certainly generated a lot of interest. Trump, 78, was shot during a rally in Pennsylvania. Fortunately, he narrowly escaped the life-threatening incident, but suffered an ear injury that bled immediately as the bullet passed by.

Was the Simpsons’ prediction about Donald Trump true?

In the past, these animated depictions have predicted the rise of the Republican leader. One photo that has just surfaced is said to be from a 2015 episode called “Bart to The Future.” In the image, a figure that looks very similar to Trump can be seen speaking on a stage when he is shot. In the background, a banner can be seen reading “Trump 2024,” fitting for the current year, when he sets his sights on the White House for the second time.

Given The Simpsons’ track record of predicting truths, social media users are now debating how the outcome of the actual incident differs from the cartoon’s portrayal. Trump seemed to defy the so-called Simpsons curse and returned home safely after the failed assassination attempt.

“Trump of all people proved the Simpsons wrong and changed the timeline,” wrote one social media user. “Bro really shifted the timeline huh?” commented another. “He’s stronger than the curse,” added yet another.

The show has been running for decades and has made many satirical jabs at society, some of which will hit a nerve years later when reality catches up with you. It looks like one is happening right now.

The former President of the United States had previously said in a statement: “I was hit by a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong because I heard a hissing sound, gunshots and immediately felt the bullet penetrate the skin.”
