Donald Trump as the president of the United States was predicted by The Simpsons.
The popular show foresaw Trump as a future leader way back in 2000.
In the episode Bart to the Future, the young lad is given a glimpse into 2030.
Lisa Simpson has taken up the presidency from Trump, who has left the country in debt.
She says: “We have inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump.”
Her treasurer is Millhouse, who shows her a graph showing the country’s finances plunging to the bottom.
Lisa adds: “How bad is it, Secretary Van Houten?”
Millhouse replies: “We’re broke.”
Viewers then hear one of her advisors say America borrowed from every country in the world under President Trump.
Dan Greaney, writer of the episode, said Trump's inclusion in Bart to the Future it was a "warning to America".
He said: "That just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom.
"It was consistent with the vision of America going insane.
"What we needed was for Lisa to have problems beyong her fixing, that everything went as bad as it possibly could, and that's why we had Trump be president before her."
