Images continue to appear on social media that depict Donald Trump in a clairvoyant manner in various episodes of The Simpsons.

This is about a picture that shows the late President Trump in a coffin. The type of drawing at this point initially suggests The Simpsons.

The note on the picture is also quite clear at this point, it reads “Just be patient the Simpsons ain’t lied to us yet.” In German this means “Just be patient, the Simpsons haven’t lied to us yet.”

So let's start the fact check on the following image and look at the sentence that is attached to the image. Is this all really true or are we dealing with a fake?

Trump on The Simpsons?
Trump on The Simpsons?

Origin of the image

Even though the current version was only published on January 10, 2020, the origin of this image goes back to 2017. Trump in the coffin? No, this scene didn't appear in any Simpsons episodes. The origin of the image is different.

Snopes published a fact check on this image in February 2017 and stated that the scene was neither from the series nor from a newspaper article. According to Snopes, a viral Spanish-language video from Badabun stated that this image first appeared in a thread on a 4chan.org forum.

... the Simpsons haven't lied to us yet

With this sentence we are dealing with an exciting thesis. This phrase alludes to various images from the series that supposedly depicted Trump or other incidents in a predictable way.

Unfortunately, this sentence is already a myth, because the other images, especially Trump, were also fakes. We have already published fact checks in various cases:

In the end, all that remains to be said is that you should be skeptical when someone with the Simpsons' predictive abilities comes around the corner.
