The author of the "prophetic" episode of "The Simpsons" decided to run for president of the United States

Screenwriter Dan Greaney, known as the author of one of the most discussed episodes of the animated series "The Simpsons" about Donald Trump's future presidency, has announced his intention to participate in the 2028 US presidential race. He made the announcement in a video address published on YouTube.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to the American screenwriter's statement, Greaney has officially launched his own election campaign and presented its main slogan. According to the author, his platform is built on the idea of unity and equal opportunities for all citizens of the country.

"I'm running for president. My platform is America for everyone. Let's do this," the screenwriter stated in his address to the audience.

Particular attention to his announcement was drawn by Greaney's past, linked to the iconic animated series "The Simpsons." In the episode "Bart to the Future," which aired in 2000, a scenario was depicted in which Lisa Simpson becomes the first female president of the United States and discusses economic difficulties left over from Donald Trump's administration.

Notably, this episode appeared 16 years before Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election. This is precisely why the series' creator Matt Groening is often called a kind of "prophet," and the episode itself is considered one of the most famous coincidences in television history.
