The Reality of Simpsons Trump’s Escalator Scene Prediction

The Reality of Simpsons Trump’s Escalator Scene Prediction
How The Simpsons “Predicts” the Future
The Simpsons has been on air since 1989, with over 750 episodes. With such a long run, it has covered thousands of scenarios, jokes, and cultural references. Some of these inevitably resemble real-world events that happen years later.
Here’s how it happens:
The Simpsons writers are highly intelligent, often using satire to exaggerate real-world trends.
Many so-called "predictions" are actually logical projections of ongoing cultural, political, or technological trends.
Since it has been running for over 30 years, the show has covered almost every possible scenario.
If you make enough jokes about the future, some will eventually seem accurate.
People remember the few correct "predictions" but ignore the thousands of things the show got wrong.
After an event happens, fans dig into old episodes to find anything similar, making it seem more intentional than it really was.
Now Let's talk about Famous Prediction and the Reality of Trump’s Escalator Scene
When Donald Trump announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015, he famously descended an escalator at Trump Tower while waving to his supporters.
An episode name called “Trumptastic Voyage” (Season 26 which was released on July 7, 2015)
showed a scene of Trump coming down an escalator in a nearly identical manner.
The short was released after Trump had already announced his candidacy, meaning it was not a prediction, but rather a parody of real-life events.
However, this scene was made after Trump announced his candidacy, so it was not a prediction.

Someone disproved this with people just forgetting history or misplacing dates
