It was the most insane and laughable scenario the creators of satirical comedy The Simpsons could dream up.
Who was the one public figure all Americans would agree could never become their Commander-in-Chief?
The answer was inspired: brash billionaire and reality TV star Donald J Trump . Hilarious!
That was 16 years ago, when they wrote an episode called Bart to the Future, with grown-up Lisa Simpson elected to the Oval Office after President Trump has tanked the economy.
But when they – and the world – woke up yesterday they found the joke had backfired monumentally. Their impossible prophecy had been fulfilled and the cartoon villain really had become the leader of the free world.
