FWIW, this image of cartoon Trump in a casket NEVER appeared in an episode — and “The Simpsons” moreover under no circumstances had an episode with a plotline about DT being killed … people merely paired the falsified pic with that declare, after which the Web did what it does.

Matt supplies, “Anybody who thinks ‘The Simpsons’ would come with such horrifying content material on a household TV present doesn?t actually watch the present or have any understanding of ‘The Simpsons’ in any respect.” In completely different phrases, we don’t play like that!

What made the phony assassination meme believable for lots of is the actual fact the current has “predicted” loads of real-life events over the course of its record-setting run — nonetheless, on this case, they under no circumstances referred to as this horrible event.
