Fans Floored After 'The Simpsons' Seemingly Predicted Kamala Harris' Inauguration Outfit To A T

The Simpsons has 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 Guardian in 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.

Tucker Carlson Slammed After Agreeing With Guest Who Said We 'Should Have Sided With Hitler' In WWII

Former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson sparked backlash online after agreeing with Cornell University organic chemistry professor Dave Collum that Americans are learning World War II history "all wrong" and that the United States "should have sided with" genocidal German Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler.

Collum likened himself to Darryl Cooper, another Carlson guest who has branded Winston Churchill the “chief villain” of World War II. He went on to invoke General George S. Patton, claiming Patton had voiced the same view. In reality, Patton warned after the war that the U.S. had “fought the wrong enemy,” a reference to his concern about the Soviet Union rather than advocacy for Hitler.

Trump Fires Director Of Digital Content After New TikTok Account Is Met With Thousands Of Trolling Comments

President Donald Trump fired Billy McLaughlin, his director of digital content, shortly after the White House's official TikTok account was inundated with social media users demanding the administration release the Epstein files, which are said to contain detailed lists of some of the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's most high-profile clients and enablers.

Trump himself is widely believed to be in the Epstein files and has rejected calls by his followers to release them, admonishing critics of Attorney General Pam Bondi, who recently concluded no such list exists, despite claiming the exact opposite just months ago.
