- A widely shared image and narrated clip falsely claimed a lost episode showed President Donald Trump collapsing with a TV graphic reading 'Trump dead' dated March 14, 2026.
- Readers on X flagged the content as fabricated and noted showrunners confirmed no such episode of The Simpsons exists.
- Independent checks, including Grok’s assessment, described the image as AI-generated hoax material that never appeared in the series.
- The rumor gained traction as Trump announced strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island and online chatter questioned his health, while the White House says he is in perfect health.
- Coverage notes that prior 'Simpsons predictions' frequently cited by fans are coincidences rather than forecasts, as the program’s creators have long maintained.
