Was the assassination of former President Trump predicted in a movie?

On July 13, 2024, former US President Donald Trump (78 years old) was attacked during an election campaign in Pennsylvania. A gunman fired multiple shots at the former President from the roof of a nearby building.

Fortunately, the bullet only left a wound in the ear and caused blood to flow down the former President's cheek, while the gunman was killed. According to Communications Director Steven Cheung, Mr. Trump "is fine and is being checked at a local medical facility."

While world leaders expressed shock and condemnation of the violence, some social media users linked the incident to the popular animated show "The Simpsons".

Many people have shared images from an episode of The Simpsons that allegedly "predicted" the attack on Donald Trump.

Accordingly, in a scene cut from an episode of "The Simpsons" there is an image alluding to the assassination of former President Donald Trump.

However, in this movie, the former President is not so lucky after the assassination.

One user wrote: "The Simpsons has some explaining to do."

Another commented: "I can't believe The Simpsons predicted Donald Trump would be shot."

Many people expressed a "sigh of relief" when this time "The Simpsons" did not predict the incident completely correctly, when in fact, former President Trump was only injured.

In his first statement after the incident, Mr. Trump said: "I was shot by a bullet that went through the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong when I heard the whistling, the gunshot, and felt the bullet tear through my skin."

Mr Trump also thanked the Secret Service and law enforcement for their "quick response".

The attack left one person dead and at least two injured. The suspect was identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks (20 years old), who has now died.

A former executive of "The Simpsons" previously told Reuters that claims about the show's ability to "predict the future" are false.

Any resemblance between the cartoon and real-life events is coincidental.

This isn't the first time The Simpsons has been accused of "predicting" events involving Mr. Trump and other world events.

Previously, the program was also said to have accurately predicted Mr. Trump's election as president in 2016.

In addition, the film is also said to have predicted international current events such as global pandemics, submarine accidents, Lady Gaga's outfit at the Super Bowl...

However, claims that the film has the ability to predict the future or that there is a force behind the film that intentionally turns the events in the film into reality are baseless and are just hypotheses of the online community.
