The origins of this particular image are still unclear, some say it was posted over an online forum. But because the show was accurate about Trump's presidency or more recently the White House Lights out episode, people are wondering if the prediction for August 27, 2020 will also come true.

What is August 27 Meme on TikTok?
Another reason by August 27 is also trending is because of a viral TikTok video. The video was made just for fun, picking up a random date. It said "if this is you, for your page, congratulations you have been chosen. Remember the date of August 27th, it important." It is just the curiosity of people to know what will happen on August 27 that has kept it going. And now it is also being related to The Simpsons.
So nothing is happening on August 27, and no The Simpsons haven't made any episode which shows the death of the US president. It is a claim going viral and seeing the recent turn of events, people are holding on to it.
