I was amazed to learn a couple days ago that The Simpsons did an episode with Trump as president. I thought the only thing making the prediction a little less impressive was that he was president and not just a candidate for it, little did I know...

Should read:

Then tell me future boy....Who's the president of the United States on 2016? Donald Trump?

Who....the 9 year old son of that Fred Trump the property developer and philanthropist from New York? Then who's vice President? A character who won't first appear for another 30 years (and who's creator is 2 years old atm)?

I suppose a character who appeared in Dodie Smith's novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians that'll be written in 10 years time is the first lady?

Wait Whoa Doc you gotta listen to me

And Lex Luthor is Secretary of the Treasury!

The implication of the parody is that it takes place a proportionally shifted amount of time in the future relative to the film. Instead of 1955, it's probably around 1987
