A video circulating on social media has reignited a familiar debate: Did The Simpsons predict Donald Trump’s death in August 2025? The clip, which claims to show a scene from the long-running animated series, has gone viral — especially on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram.

However, there’s no real evidence that such an episode ever aired.

The viral video appears to be a fan-made animation, possibly using AI-generated visuals or edited scenes. No official episode from The Simpsons, past or upcoming, confirms this so-called prediction. Longtime fans and animation experts have also pointed out that the style and voice acting in the clip don’t match the show’s production quality.

This isn’t the first time The Simpsons has been credited with predicting major events. From Trump’s presidency to smartwatches, the show has indeed foreshadowed a few real-world happenings. But in this case, the Trump death rumor doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.

It’s a good reminder to stay cautious about viral misinformation, especially when it comes from edited videos or unverified sources. While the idea of The Simpsons predicting the future makes for catchy headlines, not every meme is grounded in fact
