A high-profile Simpsons writer is hoping his prophetic chops can change America.
Dan Greaney, best known for the 2000 episode “Bart to the Future,” which features a dressed-up Lisa speaking about cleaning up the mess from a then-theoretical Trump presidency, is running for president.
And not of the fictional Springfield. The United States of America.
The Los Angeles-based Greaney says he will fix America if he wins in 2028 with a “progressive Republican” agenda akin to classic politicians like former Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.
Greaney, clad in a Nostradamus-esque gray beard, announced his half-serious campaign in a video slamming both parties, the Trump administration, and billionaires.
“Trump, Vance, the billionaires, careerists, and cowards in both parties have turned their backs on [the United States,” he said. “It’s money, power, and security for them, but not for you.”
He says the government must work for all people, and that he’d love to help, “but I’m not a lawyer.”
“I’m just a self-proclaimed prophet…” he says, before adding, “who went to law school, graduated, passed the bar. Wait! I am a lawyer!”
Greaney then transforms from his prophet costume, tossing his beard and outfit off to reveal his suit and shaven face.
