Trump predictions, place your bets

[Skeptic Ginger]

I knew Trump would back down on the Mexico tariff threats. He predictably was looking for attention. As soon as he isn't the top headline he looks for another attention getting tactic. Cue the threat of tariffs on all of Mexican goods.

Tariffs on Mexico was a bad idea, the GOP legislators knew it and let Trump know. Surprise, Trump claims victory and backs down.

Anyone care to make the next prediction?

He will blame any economic downturn on the Dems and call them a disgrace.

That's predictable but a little more general than I had in mind.

I'll bump the thread if need be but I was thinking more along the lines of his next specific announcement: he's going to do X, but he won't actually do it.

Though people are welcome to post general predictions if they want to.

Back down? The Mexican country backed down! Trump got a yuge deal and didn't have to punish those brown people with tariffs after all! Winning bigly, MAGA, triggurd libs, etc.

Sorry, just describing it the way the trumpkins will see it.

- Not later than Autumn, Trump will go into full campaign mode, spending nearly as much time doing rallies than golfing.
Special emphasis on States where Biden seems to be doing expectantly well.

- there will be no Infrastructure Deal

- there will be no ACA replacement

- before the election, the economy will be in much worse shape than it is now

I predict he's going to have a serious health setback sooner rather than later. But then, I've thought that for literally years now. He's under a lot of pressure that is going to get worse and his coping skills IMO are deteriorating. But that's pure speculation on my part.

He's going to crap himself on television and then Twitter about how it's fake news, he sat on an ice cream sandwich, the photos were doctored, Nancy Pelosi shot feces at his butt with a slingshot, and everybody else except him also crapped themselves even more than he did, except he didn't, it was fake news.

Is he under a lot of pressure?

Someone who understands the presidency and cares about appearing competent or consistent would be under pressure. But given that the president gives the impression that he has his own definitions of understand, competent, and consistent, I’m not convinced he feels all that much pressure.

I suspect he walks around most of the day saying “nailed it” when he thinks about his tweets and the names he calls people.

People sit around and listen to his stories, insights, and “epiphanies.” They know that not appearing enthralled and enthusiastic will result in them being gone by the end of the day. No one has the chutzpah to say, “you told us that anecdote just 10minutes ago. How does that create pressure?

Sure the occasional FoxNews criticism will upset him a bit, but pressure?

I do like the idea of doctoring up a photo and releasing it on the internet. A normal head of state would simply ignore it. President Trump? Who knows?

And before the Trump supporters go bananas, let me quote the unwavering S. Sanders and say “he was joking.”

Trump blames all on Democrats/Deep state. Wins election with 45% of vote, again with 100 000 in special states. All new ones. Democrats get 50% of vote. Nobody knows where the 5% went.

No, you don't. I've seen one and it was one of those things you don't want in your head.

Prediction: Trump will lie today.

OK, OK...don't tell me. I know. He lies every day.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Some of these are great, definite probabilities.

Ladewig, Trump is under a lot of pressure intermittently. A pathologic narcissist does not constantly experience a positive imaginary world. Threats to his ego are a frequent occurrence.

The Mueller investigation was clearly stressful given how much he complained about it. Now that Nadler and Schiff are still pushing the investigation he thought was over, expect to see evidence of that stress with Trump constantly repeating "no do-overs" in between his publicity stunts (like the tariff threats) and every time the news reports on the ongoing investigation.

 

[Norman Alexander]

Anything that threatens his personal ego will be met with immature name-calling and threats. Anything NOT threatening his ego that he remembers will be called "amazing" and "beautiful". He will lie his arse off about everything to do with himself to make himself look good. He will tweet and tweet and tweet, and golf and golf and golf, rather than actually be president.

Biden in a landslide!!!!

It's a lock there's no way Biden can lose its Ironclad 110% guaranteed he's going to absolutely beat Trump no question about it.

I vote tariffs on Mexico. After all, by Trump standards the previous tariffs n Mexico were a resounding success.

 

[alfaniner]

Well, I never would have thought he wanted a holiday named for him...

If President Obama made the deals that I have made, both at the Border and for the Economy, the Corrupt Media would be hailing them as Incredible, & a National Holiday would be immediately declared. With me, despite our record setting Economy and all that I have done, no credit!

Until now.

I so hope you are correct, not death but heavy lingering pain . And loss of ability to communicate functionally.

That would be fun too - show his followers what he really is.

 

[Lurch]

Trump will continue, in his naked transparency, being a whiny little bitch. An emotionally stunted, immature, needy, whiny little bitch.

A real, secure man, even if as guilty as Trump and as lacking in shame, would power on without all the tween-grade histrionics. A crook with charm one might have some admiration for. The whiny little bitch type is beneath contempt.
