29 years ago DOONESBURY predicted DT's Presidency, in cartoons.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2016/06/23/how-doonesbury-predicted-donald-trumps-presidential-run-29-years-ago/?tid=hybrid_experimentrandom_2_na&utm_term=.5d5b9742521eIT’S EASY to forget that many of the headlines surrounding Donald Trump’s current campaign were strikingly foreshadowed. But a stroll down the past three decades of “Doonesbury” can read like a road map to the billionaire’s 2016 candidacy.
A Trump run for president? Check. “Doonesbury” first had that covered nearly 30 years ago.
Campaign references to Trump as sexual being? Double-check. The comic strip was dishing that satire back in the last millennium.
Trump University shenanigans? You betcha. Cartoonist Garry Trudeau was on the case more than a decade ago.
