Credit: Megan Strickland/InstagramIt's become an internet tradition to claim The Simpsons predicted something when it didn't, and these kinds of predictions would be easy to dismiss if it weren't for the number of times the show actually did predict future events.
The Simpsons predicting the future
The Trump presidency: 16 years before the first Trump presidential election, The Simpson's called it. Season 11, Episode 17, “Bart to the Future," is a flash-forward episode in which Lisa has become president. At one point she remarks, "We inherited quite the budget crunch from President Trump.”
Oceangate submersible accident: While Season 17's "Homer’s Paternity Coot” episode didn't exactly predict the implosion of Oceangate's Titan submersible in 2006, you have to admit the crafts look eerily similar to the real thing:

The act ends in tragedy when a white tiger attacks the pair. This was 10 years before Roy of Siegfried and Roy was really attacked by one of his tigers.

Are The Simpsons' writers psychic?
No. But the recurring illusion of The Simpsons as a prophetic text is a fascinating case study in how and why predictions of the future can seem so real. Logically, people can't see the future because it hasn't happened yet, but belief in sooth-saying is nearly universal for a reason, and these Simpsons predictions-come-true illustrate why people believe in all kinds of predictions and prophecies.
People lying: People say The Simpsons predicts things like the Coldplay debacle all the time, for fun or profit, just as people have always lied to the rubes to separate them from their money.
The self-fulfilling prophecy: Cypress Hill played with the London Symphony orchestra because it was a joke on The Simpsons. Life imitating art.
Bottom line: The Simpsons is the Nostradamus of animated sitcoms. It didn’t predict the Coldplay kiss-cam moment, just like it didn’t predict every major event in world history. Still, it used to be pretty funny.
