The Simpsonshas a reputation for being astoundingly prophetic.

It predicted Donald Trump as President of the United States, the Ebola outbreak of 2014, Disney's purchase of 20th Century Fox, and the ending of Daenerys Targaryen's storyline in Game Of Thrones and that's just a few examples.


Its most recent prediction is eerie in how accurate it actually is. Remember Kamala Harris's purple suit on Inauguration Day? Well, in an episode of the show, President Lisa Simpson is depicted wearing exactly the same outfit, down to the necklace.



The episode, entitled "Bart To The Future," originally aired in 2000. In it, Lisa inherits an ailing US economy from former President Donald Trump.







Since The Simpsons is satire, the fact that so much of it has come true in the past few years shows just how sharp it is.

We predicted that he [Trump] would be president back in 2000," Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, said to The Guardianin 2016.

"[Trump] was, of course, the most absurd placeholder joke name that we could think of at the time, and that's still true. It's beyond satire."






Other parts of this particular inauguration that The Simpsons predicted include the appearance of Tom Hanks as a host of the evening's events.

"Hello. I'm Tom Hanks. The US government has lost its credibility, so it's borrowing some of mine," he says in the 2007 The Simpsons Movie.






There are 21 more years of The Simpsons episodes since this episode for even more future predictions to come true.

We will be keeping our eyes peeled to see what comes to be.

Trump Adviser's Chess Analogy After Trump's Meeting With Canadian Prime Minister Is Epic Self-Own

President Donald Trump's adviser Stephen Miller was mocked online after he used a chess reference to heap praise onto Trump after his Oval office meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Canadian voters returned the Liberal Party to power for a fourth consecutive term after Trump repeatedly threatened Canadian sovereignty amid an ongoing trade war. Carney made defending Canada’s sovereignty a cornerstone of his campaign, pushing back forcefully against Trump’s threats to annex the country as “the 51st state.”

People In Long-Term Relationships Explain What Love Feels Like To Them Now

While some people wax nostalgic about the "good old days" when everyone stayed married, the reality is that there were almost no options for divorced women. There were very few for widows either.

Longevity in relationships was more about necessity and no other choices than devotion. Now that divorce is easily accessible, longterm relationships are more likely to be a choice.
