Sixteen years before Donald Trump's election as US President, The Simpsons predicted the tycoon would become leader of the free world.
The bizarre premise was outlined in an episode, titled 'Bart To The Future', broadcast in early 2000.

James L. Brooks, executive producer on The Simpsons, tweeted this morning: "F*** disillusionment!"
In the 2000 episode predicting the Trump administration, Lisa is pictured sitting in the Oval Office surrounded by advisers.
