In a cabinet meeting, she offhandedly mentions, \u201cWe inherited quite the budget crunch from President Trump.\u201d It initially was a reference to Trump attempting a run as a Reform Party candidate. But the words gained much more validity when Trump was elected president in 2016. The week after the election, the recurring chalkboard gag even read, \u201cBeing right sucks.\u201d The line gained more attention when Trump announced he was running for president yet again in a bid for 2024 \u2014 which, incidentally, is the year that <em>The Simpsons<\/em> had originally predicted, as producer Al Jean noted on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-accent-l   \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kamala_Harris_Purple_Pantsuit_Season_11_Episode_17_%E2%80%9CBart_to_the_Future%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>\n        Kamala Harris\u2019 Purple Pantsuit (Season 11, Episode 17: \u201cBart to the Future\u201d)    <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In the same episode that predicted the Trump presidency, Lisa is showing wearing an eerily similar outfit \u2014 purple pantsuit, white pearls \u2014 to the one Vice President Kamala Harris wore to the 2021 inaugural. \u201cThe pantsuit may have been a nod to Hillary Clinton at the time, or we were just going for a power look,\u201d longtime\u00a0<em>Simpsons<\/em>\u00a0scribe Mike Scully recently told <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>.
