Then, of course, the show predicted Trump’s presidency long before he was elected to serve as the 45th President of the US and held office from 2017 to 2021.
The show in 2019 claims to have predicted the US Capitol riot, as well as Ted Cruz’s trip to Cancun at a time when his electorate in Texas was freezing in unusual cold weather.
