What ‘The Simpsons' Predicted 15 Years Ago: ‘President With Golden Hair To Die In 2025'
The video begins with a chilling prediction: 'The President is expected to die in August 2025 after a severe chest illness.'
The Simpsons, an American animated sitcom, has become popular for its ability to predict real-life events. It is once again back in the headlines for yet another of its predictions, where a clip, which has gone viral on social media, predicted a US President's death. A page on Instagram shared a video on the platform, featuring a Simpsons character that bears a striking resemblance to the incumbent US President, Donald Trump.
The video begins with a chilling prediction: 'The President is expected to die in August 2025 after a severe chest illness."
As it played further, a voice in the background mentioned that The Simpsons predicted the 'Presidential Death" in a forgotten episode, which aired over 15 years ago. Calling it one of the show's 'most disturbing predictions", the voiceover went on to describe how the incident unfolded.
'A controversial president with bright orange skin, golden hair and a volatile temper is shown walking alone through the White House," the voice claims as was seen in the episode. All of a sudden, the president grabs his chest in pain and then collapses during a live national broadcast. Panic erupted through the corridors of the White House, and medical staff were called in, one of whom yelled, 'This wasn't just stress, this was a sign."
The clip then links the predictions in the episode to the real world, pointing out that President Donald Trump was recently diagnosed with a heart ailment. They went on to claim that sources inside the government shared that the president might suffer a major heart attack in August this year. To add to it, the voiceover further mentioned that because of the episode's 'precision", it was pulled from syndication and also disappeared from streaming platforms.
President Donald Trump Was Diagnosed With Chronic Venous Insufficiency
On July 17, the White House confirmed that President Donald Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition that occurs in older adults. This happens when veins in the legs struggle to move blood back to the heart. The White House announced the diagnosis while addressing swelling in the legs and bruising on the hands of the 79-year-old President of the US. Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, the physician to the president, said that the condition is benign and is common in people over 70. Other symptoms of CVI are varicose veins, pain, discomfort and, in rare cases, venous ulcers.
The president underwent a full-body health check-up, including blood tests and heart scans, and everything came back normal and revealed no cardiac, renal or systemic issues. The doctor shared that President Donald Trump 'remains in excellent health," as quoted by The New York Times.
After the video was posted, people had varying reactions to it. One user asked, 'Didn't they also predict his demise back in April? Like April 12th or something." Another added, 'Now this is how you make America great again." A different user wrote, 'Wow! So many of you wishing death on our President is proof that humanity is doomed. Zero respect or basic human decency anymore."
Since it was posted, the clip has garnered over 2.5 million views.

IIT Madras graduate was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer at 26. She survived brutal chemo, rebuilt her life and career and made it to Oxford
Synopsis Rasika Bombatkar, diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer at 26, faced a grueling battle involving chemotherapy and surgery. Supported by loved ones, she persevered through immense physical and emotional challenges. Defying the odds, Rasika not only survived but also pursued her dreams, earning a degree from Oxford and now working at the World Health Organization. Rasika Bombatkar battled lung cancer stage 3 when she was just 26. (Instagram- @rasikabombatkar) Related At just 26, Rasika Bombatkar—an IIT-Madras graduate—was on a promising career path, working as a research assistant in Tamil Nadu. A routine full-body check-up turned her world upside down. She was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer. The news was devastating, more so because Rasika had never smoked a day in her life. What followed was a harrowing journey of physical pain, emotional breakdowns, and an unshakable will to fight back. The diagnosis left her numb. She couldn't even bring herself to tell her parents and initially shared the news only with her brother, who then informed the family. In the early days, she was overwhelmed—shuffled between tests with no time to breathe. She almost gave up on treatment altogether, too emotionally drained to make any more decisions. That's when a friend stepped in, volunteering to take over the logistics so Rasika could focus on simply surviving. With his support, she began chemotherapy. The treatment was brutal. She lost 10 kilos, her skin broke out in painful rashes, and she covered up every mirror in her house just to avoid seeing herself. Some nights, she admitted, she questioned whether she could even go on. But in the quietest corners of her being—and through the relentless support of her loved ones—she kept finding reasons to push forward. Then came the breakthrough. The tumour had shrunk. Surgery became possible. On December 15th, doctors opened her chest and removed the tumour from her lung. That moment, she said, felt like winning a battle she didn't ask for—but one she refused to lose. It's been two and a half years since that life-changing surgery. While the scars still remain, Rasika has gone on to do the unimaginable. She applied to Oxford—and got in. She's now a graduate of one of the world's most prestigious universities and currently works at the World Health Organisation (WHO) According to her LinkedIn profile, Rasika Bombatkar is currently working as a Technical Advisor at the WHO. She holds a bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy, a master's in Neurophysiotherapy, and an in International Public Health/International Health.
