Donald Trump giving a speech in The Simpsons
Summary Following the news of the shooting during former President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13 a series of social media posts went viral regarding The Simpsons’ prediction of the event – but did the animated sitcom really predict Trump’s assassination attempt? With 768 episodes across 35 seasons, The Simpsons has covered and parodied countless themes and public figures. As a result, comparisons between the series and real-world news are often common.
The Simpsons Never Had An Episode About Trump's Assassination Attempt The image of “Simpsons Trump” in a coffin is not from the show. Although Donald Trump has appeared and been mentioned in The Simpsons multiple times before and after his term, the show never predicted an assassination attempt on the former president. The idea that The Simpsons predicted the shooting during Trump’s rally came from a series of viral posts on X that attributed two images to the show.
Donald Trump Has Only Appeared In 3 Simpsons Episodes The former president has also appeared in 8 specials. Close Trump has been mentioned in The Simpsons several times, but the show’s version of the former president has only been featured in three episodes. Those are “Hardly Kirk-ing,” "The Cad and the Hat,” and "Looking for Mr. Goodbart,” the last of which included a portion of Donald Trump's First 100 Days in Office special as its opening.
