THE SIMPSONS TV show gets credit for predicting some thing that did not happen until many years later. Trump as President was one of those things they got right.
17 times 'The Simpsons' accurately predicted the future - Business Insider
And another show TRACKDOWN from 1958 - hows a con man named Trump who came to a western town to get the citizens to contribute their money to build a wall to protect them. Trump claims only he can protect them from a force which will soon overwhelm their town and invade them.
I cannot help to think back to a TV show I saw in early 1963 which showed a young American Nazi failing miserably until he got some sage advice from a much older veteran who had lots of experience at whipping up hatred in the crowd and turning it into political power. When Adolf Hitler emerged from the dark shadows of an alley, I remember being genuinely shocked as a child.
The show was THE TWILIGHT ZONE and the episode was titled "He's Alive" and was written by Rod Serling. At the conclusion of the show, as was normal, Serling closes with the message of the show
Interesting that the last city he mentioned was New York.
Tonight he will be in El Paso.

Where will he go next, this phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare – Chicago? Los Angeles? Miami, Florida? Vincennes, Indiana? Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive. He's alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked, any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being. He's alive because through these things we keep him alive.
