The Simpsons Showrunner Debunks Trump Assassination Prediction

Following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, fake images circulating on social media falsely suggest that 'The Simpsons' predicted his death, with a doctored cartoon showing Trump in a coffin. However, 'The Simpsons' showrunner Matt Selman has vehemently denied these claims, clarifying that such an episode never existed. Selman emphasized that the show would never include such 'horrifying content' and condemned the spread of fake predictions. Despite the show's reputation for predicting real-life events, the image of Trump in a coffin is debunked as a fabrication that has been circulating online since at least 2017, originating from 4chan. The incident has sparked discussions on social media linking the fake image to the recent assassination attempt, highlighting the dangers of misinformation and fake news.
