A message, which is currently circulating via social media, suggests that a 15-year-old episode of animated TV series ‘The Simpsons”  predicted the now famous scene in which US President Trump laid hands on a “glowing orb” during his May 2017 trip to Saudi Arabia.  




The message features  a screen shot from the supposed 2002 episode along with a news photograph of the real scene.  It includes the caption:

This Simpsons cartoon aired 15 years ago in 2002 the actual photo was taken last month…somebody  explain this shit to me.

Instead, it was taken from a new film posted on the official  The Simpsons Facebook Page on May  27, 2017, several days after the orb event actually took place.

The orb scene appears as a picture on the wall about 6 seconds into  the short film:
