The Simpsons Writer Who Predicted Trump Is Running For President In 2028!
From Springfield to the White House! Dan Greaney, the writer who famously predicted a Trump presidency, is launching his own 2028 bid. Is he the prophet we need?
Could the next President of the United States come straight from Springfield? Dan Greaney, a longtime writer and producer for the iconic animated series "The Simpsons," has officially thrown his hat into the ring for the 2028 presidential election. If his name sounds familiar, it’s likely because he is the man credited with "predicting" Donald Trump’s presidency over two decades ago.
Greaney wrote the famous 2000 episode titled "Bart to the Future," which featured Lisa Simpson as the President dealing with a budget crunch inherited from "President Trump." At the time, the idea was meant to be a warning of a country "going insane," but it turned into one of the show's most famous instances of seemingly supernatural foresight. Now, Greaney is jokingly referring to himself as a "prophet" as he launches his own bid for the White House.
Describing himself as a "progressive Republican," Greaney is looking to carve out a unique space in the political landscape. While "The Simpsons" has spent decades satirizing American politics from every possible angle, Greaney’s move from the writer's room to the campaign trail suggests he’s ready to take the issues more seriously—even if he maintains the wit that made him an Emmy winner.
As the 2028 cycle begins to take shape, all eyes will be on this "prophet" to see if he can manifest his own political destiny the same way he did for others. Whether this is a masterclass in long-form satire or a genuine attempt to change the GOP from within, it’s certainly one of the most unexpected starts to an election season we've seen yet.
