The show is usually spot on with its predictions, but there’s no episode featuring Trump’s demise

As soon as Donald Trump announced that he and Melania Trump tested positive for Covid-19 the internet wasted no time to share their commentary.
Can't say that there were too many well wishes for the couple but people were quick to mention the drinking bleach remedy Trump once suggested as a cure for those testing positive with Covid-19.
Others were quick to flood Twitter with a picture of Donald Trump laying dead in a casket as part of a Simpsons episode, as with many other things the cartoon series has been notoriously been on point of predicting the future of things that actually have taken place in real life.
Despite the countless shares of this photo of Donald Trump in The Simpsons laying dead in a casket, the picture and episode is in fact "fake news," and was not a Simpsons episode at all.
Trump is clearly disliked but do you think people might have gone too far wishing death upon the news of him tested positive for covid-19?
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!
