The Simpsons sees eerie prediction come true amid Trump arrest and Barbie mania
The Simpsons' spooky knack for predicting the future continued following the arrest of Donald Trump and the excitement around the Barbie Movie.
As the world focuses on Trump becoming the first former US president to be arrested on the same day the Barbie Movie trailer was released, many looked through the archives of the popular animation to find yet another correct prediction.
Trump was formally charged with a crime this week, making him the first ever former president to be dealt with in this manner.
He was photographed in court for his first formal hearing on Tuesday after a grand jury indicted him on 34 felony charges for falsifying business records.
On the same day, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were seen in the trailer for the eagerly anticipated Barbie film, which features a star-studded cast which also includes Dua Lipa, Will Ferrell and Dame Hellen Mirren.
