He was telling the truth when he said "There is no collusion between me, my campaign and the Russians". He never even met his campaign team.
Unbelievable!
They only predict a politician would do this, which isnt much of a surprise. Pretty much shows problem exist way beyond, just that social media is bigger now.
The simpson just do there research before they make an episode
I don't think the writers predict the future, thats silly. They're obviously writing the future on magical paper.
This is a reach. Do better Now This
Enough already, lol. The simpsons does not 'predict' the future, it's fake nonsense news.
"A dingo ate my baby", ironically turned out to be true.
Did they predict cuomo
Why aren't they specific and say a Texas Senator named Ted Cruz will abandon the state during a statewide freeze and blackouts for Cancun in 2021. They are really trying to hard to convince us they are prophets. Prophets are never wrong and Simpsons have thousands of years and thirty years of false predictions
Anyone else get click baited like me?
The Simpsons are on point about everything.... Somebody for the Simpsons got a Time Machine.... cause they been on point....🤔🤔🤔🤔
POOCHIE IS WHAT MADE MY JAW DROP
The Simpsons are the Shakespeare of our age! :)
Nice vague interpretation
We should just stop with the videos of the Simpson's "did they predict it". Yes!! Of course they predict everything..duh!! No question. The writers sold their souls long ago for the one power to predict all the stupid things...well all stupid things stupid people do😂😂😂 Why they will out live us all😂😂
Not exactly a prediction, things like that happened then and happen now. Some politicians are just a-holes through and through.
Whoever created this is a very stable genius indeed 😂

Telling you bro someone needs to get groening talking...
Let's be honest, what hasn't The Simpson's predicted yet?
Some of these are reaching.
Groening is a contemporary gospel, others being Rob Zemekis, Carl Sagan, and MJ.
People in power have been doing this for centuries. It was rumoured one of the Romanovs fled to Mexico
Not everything the simpsons does is a prediction
Yes the Simpsons Predicted Ted Cruz's Cancun Scandal
Might have predicted, or inspire the actions
TOBIAS!
They didn't predict anything, politicians have been doing this forever.
Most shameful period in America. USA is no longer seen as an example for other countries.
Probably just portraying things that have happened before. Even our Prime Minister went to Hawaii during the bushfires here last year. Having said that, it's the same episode which has already 'predicted' a few things about 2020/21.
Lol. It’s just predictable, people are horrible
They should've include dates when Simpson aired and when the event happened
Pretty soon nobody will read the Nostradamus almanacs.
Calling Ted a 'slimy politician' is insulting to slimy politicians.
How is this predicting anything?
The Simpsons writers aren't clairvoyant, they just write political punchlines that are satirically over the top... It just so happens that Republicans have sunk so low that satire actually describes them accurately now.
U-R-GAY
No kidding I live 1 hour from the border and I had to go to Mexico to actually get Gas after the storm.. Yes, I paid 3 something the gallon but at least I fill up all my vehicles and left some stored just in case..
Seth McFarland could never (he tries tho)
Mayor McCheese
*McMainerberry
*McMansion
*Mcdonalds
*MacFarlane 😂
Who ever believes the Simpson predictions are autistic.......
Vote the cuban Canadian out of office, pinche cubano traidor.
Did he really say asbestos is good? Wtf people common.
Guys, the segment where President Lisa is discussing with her cabinet about the budget crisis was making fun of the then popular third party, the Reform Party, whom Trump gave his support at the time. Don’t rely on the Simpsons predicting future events, life is filled with coincidences and surprises.

poochie died on his way to his home planet
I need to rewatch this show, there’s so much I probably didn’t understand when I watched this in middle school.
This quickly dived into apophenia: setting patterns where patterns don’t actually exist.
True. Ted Cruz is still a sad excuse for a leader though
Lol

The Simpsons and ONN aren't oracle, US just make them all real
Jamaica is not Mexico
No. These were more like editorials for the time. No matter how things seem, it does not mean someone controls or decides our futures, they don't. The only ones who create the futures & everything in it are everyone who's here now. 🐦
The 🅱️apitalist hellscape is quite predictable. Yes.
That man don't want to deal with y'all that's why it went on vacation he said it is what it is 🥶🥶🥶🐕🐕🐕
It’s called predictive programming
🤣😂🤣🤣 too accurate
Great video edit but those are not predictions, it is common sense and simple logic describing those people in the senate and presidency as it has always been...
they are portraying the very human behaviors. so either way you look at it, life imitates art and art imitates life. the Simpsons just articulate them well.
Ah! Q is the Simpson's writers...
I'm not sure to laugh about this or cry
The simpsons need to stop.
Build a wall around Ted Cruz.
Some has a time machine and they ain’t sharing... not cool! Ai caramba
Even the SAME VOICE & SAME PERSONALITY as Ted’s. Goodness gracious 😳
The Bahamas is not Cancun, Mexico.
3:54 - there's a suspicious break in that sentence...
This is such a stretch lmao
When your series spans decades with Hundreds of storylines: you "predict" lots of things.
Good satire becomes difficult to distinguish from reality.
Ugh, those aren’t predictions just coincidences.
Using a cartoon as a playback doesn't make it a prediction
Um who cares if Ted Cruz went to Mexico.
@Gabriel Rodriguez 53% of texas voted for trump. texas is starting to change, the old republicans are dying and the younger people are becoming old enough to vote, and i can tell you because im one of those people who live here in texas that the majority are on the left.
@Gabriel Rodriguez yeah, a texas trump appointed judge blocked biden’s 100 day deportation ban executive order.
@daniel neubecker Texas flips blue OMG you must be joking, it’s never going to happen since ICE is still deporting illegals 😂😂😂😂
@Gabriel Rodriguez clearly you don’t know anything about texas’ energy, because renewable energy makes up a tiny percent of the state’s energy. texas gets its energy mostly from nonrenewable sources like natural gas and oil and has its own power grid, because the stupid republicans think that operating their own power grid instead of being interconnected with other states is smart. terrible republican leadership in texas, can’t wait to see it flip blue someday.
@daniel neubecker Hmmmm Andrew Cuomo is in hot water about the nursing home scandal. Texas is dumb enough to have renewable energy. Let’s keep on building the keystone pipeline.
Yea but it wasn't an escape from texas. He said it was a mistake and Ted's not the senator
Love the Simpsons!!!
Nothing is a conscience on this show called Planet Earth! We the audience are the dumb ones, but the actors and directors are sitting back laughing!
This was better than I expected.
I said it before they have sold their souls to the devil.
Naw. Obviously wasn't curz.. but the idea was to think of something scummy a politician would do. And its not a very rare thing for a politician to be a hypocritical lying scab
Ok so this is a common mis conception about the simpsons, so they didn't actually predict Trumps presidency those came out near his presidential candidacy and his presidency, also this was probably not even talking about Ted Cruz also in the clip it is a epidemic not a snow storm, as well as the fac in the description that they call it a scandal is truly pitiful what happened with Gov. Cuomo is a scandal, what Sen. Cruz did was really stupid and insensitive but it wasn't a scandal
Heh. You’re serving a playback life if you wonder.
No this was not a prediction. Ted Cruz isnt the first politician to do what he did, hence why this was already a politician stereotype that the Simpsons used for that joke.
I can't understand why people keeping thinking The Simpsons is some kinda crystal ball and looking for anything in it related to what's happening today. It's ridiculous imo.
Some of these are kinda a far stretch tbh
4:18 this I can get behind
Is it prediction or is it just the most comical thing they can think of actually becoming reality... Problem is, it isn't as comical when it happens in reality, I would have much preferred it staying as some outlandish comical take...
Cosmopolis moment
Ok time for The Simpson to predict me to be the next multimillionaire.. In US dollars of course... not in pesos,rupee or rupiah..
This was amusing.
It would funny if we only elected an idiotic to be our leader, but the dangerous lair sure meant we paid the price!
These guys are just time travellers
200 years or more! 😂😂😂😂😂 wow!!!! Amazing!!! That’s something what kim jong un! Would say!
The Simpsons predict everything!
So what you're saying is politicians are diehard fans of the Simpsons.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Matt IS Prometheus. I am going to leave this right here.
people in Cancun don't look like this 🤦🏻♀️
Not even suprised.
Maybe the writers just already knew how messed up and dumb things really are.
Nah, you can also point to other shows’ snippets & voila, instant Nostradamus!
