Where is the proof that this is from 2000? Why would Donald Trump have anything to do with voters in 2000?
Edit: Do you have more photos of the magazine? This is extremely interesting if it's true.

Trump has been vocal about politics for decades. He didn't just come out of nowhere.

That's fair but is this specific comic about them running for president? I'm trying to understand the context.

He ran for president in 1999 under the Reform party.

Same thing happened when he first announced this time. Bunch of people found an old Simpsons cartoon with a trump sign and talking about him and were saying they predicted this or knew in advance. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SEPs17_AkTI

Wrong.
That Simpsons episode came out AFTER trump announced he is running for president. The Simpsons episode was from 2015 and people who didn't do any research assumed it was an old episode just because they were told that.
I'm trying to make sure that this isn't the same thing. For all I know, this is the most recent issue of Mad.

Well, I'm an idiot. Looks like I was wrong twice. Thanks for the information.
2 GTheFaceL 2016-08-09
No problem. I was half off too probably. Not sure about the sign one being more recent, but I knew the other one was older at least. Do you have a link or anything on it? Thanks.

You both are admitting wrong?! That's not right!-is it!?
According to a recent August article article from another (famous) magazine, Reddit is supposed to be composed of hostile trolls.
Magazines and online magazine article don't lie-do they?!

That is the most recent Trump video with the sign dropping. Uploaded July 7, 2015. If this scene was from 2000 then we are definitely living in the matrix.

Hmm. Yeah you can even see the difference in animation quality.
2 Dodge-em 2016-08-09
Yeeeup. Even back in the late 80's, when Pat Robertson and David Duke were weighing in, Trump was making ripples in the stenchy Potomac.

This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Where did you get it from?
Edit: Never mind, I see it was from Mad Magazine.

what issue is this in?
1 Dodge-em 2016-08-09
May 2000 (the one that shows Charlie Brown throttling Lucy on the cover-may've been after Schultz kicked it-bless his soul.). Other Pokemon include: Weepinbill (Bill Bradley), Tawnter (Rudy Giuliani), Bubbasaur (Bill Clinton), Venomouth (Pat Buchanan), Psyschmuck (Ross Perot), Herodactyl (John McCain), Boreus (Al Gore), & Sneezing (George W. Bush-his element was cocaine).

Trying to find a Mad Magazine black and white cartoon (by Sam Viviano, I think) from the 90's (I....think) that retold the Wizard of Oz. Eventually, the Wizard is found to be Trump. His "gift" to Dorothy is to have her become his next wife.
