Simpsons writer announces presidential bid (VIDEO)
Dan Greaney penned the 2000 “Bart to the Future” episode which predicted Donald Trump’s presidency Published 27 May, 2026 23:29 | Updated 28 May, 2026 00:30© Daniel Greaney/social mediaDan Greaney, the Simpsons writer who foresaw Donald Trump winning the White House decades in advance, has announced his own 2028 bid for presidency.
The Simpsons’ longtime writer and producer wrote the ‘Bart to the Future’ episode, broadcast in March of 2000, in which an adult Lisa Simpson appears as “America’s first straight female president,” who inherits a “budget crunch from President Trump.”
In a video on social media on Tuesday, Greaney, dressed as a prophet in a loose robe and large fake beard, accuses Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and “billionaires, careerists and cowards in both parties” of turning their backs on America’s founding principle “that all men are created equal.”
“The government is supposed to work for everyone. Democracy for all, accountability for all, prosperity for all. We must restore this,” he says.

“Wait, I am a lawyer,” he says, announcing that he would run for president of the United States on the platform “America for All.”
According to his campaign website, the self-styled “progressive Republican” supports fighting influence-buying, improving transparency in US politics, making housing more readily available, and expanding universal health care.
