The Full Story
In early March 2026, a wave of AI-generated deepfake videos and fabricated screenshots spread across TikTok and X, falsely claiming The Simpsons had predicted Donald Trump's death through a 'coffin scene'. No such scene exists in any episode. Fact-checkers at Snopes, Wikipedia, and mainstream media outlets confirmed all viral clips as AI-generated. Trump remained alive as of March 8, 2026. This entry is logged separately from SP058 (the 2020 fake casket image) because the 2026 event involved AI-generated video at scale, illustrating how deepfake technology has accelerated viral misinformation.
