What Episode is Going On?

A lot of things from the show, comics or movies have been right in the year of 2020. Be is something like the murder hornets or the pool party at Wuhan. Some even said the Annabelle's escape was also shown in the animated series. But Annabelle hadn't escaped at all and that was just a rumour, just like this one.

The Simpsons haven't broadcasted any episode which talks or shows Donald Trump's death. The image going viral on social media has no proper source. The show has not predicted the US president's death. The origins of this particular image are still unclear, some say it was posted over an online forum. Snopes has also debunked the claim that the Simpsons predicted US President's death. They mention the image first appeared in a thread on a 4chan.org forum. So there is no truth to the claim and people are just basing their theories on rumours. We wish Donald Trump and his wife Melania a speedy recovery.
