Last updated 16th Nov 2022
Donald Trump has officially launched a campaign to become US President again in 2024.
He gave a speech in Mar-a-lago in which he confirmed he would run for a third time for the White House.
He's the first Republican candidate to confirm they will run for election in 2024.
Simpsons saw it all coming
A producer for The Simpsons, meanwhile, has pointed out that the long-running cartoon once again seemingly predicted the future.
Al Jean shared an episode screenshot from 2015, featuring a flying Homer Simpson and a sign in the background reading “Trump 2024”.
Writers of The Simpsons have previously gained a reputation for predicting events in the real world, hinting in 2000 that Trump would one day be president.
The episode, titled Bart To The Future, showed Lisa Simpson as president telling her advisors “as you know we’ve inherited quite a budget cut from President Trump”.
