The cartoons above are indeed from The Simpsons-- but the date on the left-hand picture is wrong, and the election chart on the right has been taken completely out of context.

When people on Twitter questioned the images, the OP responded by saying they were from the 2000 episode Bart to the Future.

And the thing is, that episode didactually show a vision of a Trump presidency -- it just didn't contain any of the images from the tweet that's gone viral.
