Predictions for 2020-2024:
1. Trump will leave the WH in Jan, either voluntarily or in zip ties
2. He will announce he's running in 2024 by then - nothing to lose by doing this
3. FOX and social media will keep him relevant, left wing media will keep highlighting the ridiculous stunts since they too make money from it
4. He will hold rallies and organize protests. His idiot children will help him.
5. The GOP will be walking on egg shells privately but publicly they will continue to fully comply with trumpism. Many will still consider trump the legit president and will capitalize on the fake accusations of election fraud.
6. Biden is going to have a lot of difficulty getting anything done and of course the GOP will never take responsibility for the mess left by trump. I think they will retake the house in 2022.
7. NYS will go after trump. The legal issues will play out over several years though. The IRS may also go after him.
8. Trump will run into massive financial trouble when the loan repayment dam breaks. He will step up his criminality to live another day.
9. He will not be eligible to run in 2024. The GOP nomination will come down to Tucker Carlson, Ted Cruz, and Don Jr.
10. Biden will not seek re election, it will be Harris and she will win.
This is all subject to change :)
Those are very solid predictions.
Here are mine as compared to yours:
1) Agreed.
2) Agreed. I suggest the reason is to try to monetize that.
3) I think FOX and NewsMax and some others might try for a while to keep him relevant, but I think that will quickly die out...within a year of Biden taking office, it will just be about blasting Biden and pumping up other Republicans who might take him on in 2024. This is what I thought initially, but after hearing he's going to run I don't know. I can see them using him for their ratings. As long as he can continue to be a useful idiot they won't stop using him. I'm very curious what happens to his social media following.. 88 million twitter followers from 3 million in 2016. I'm thinking 50 will hang on, but what might do him in is that he doesn't pick any battles, he just vomits random bs all day long. It's nauseating.
4) He will do this for a while until it is clear people aren't that into him.
5) I would say SOME rather than MANY.
6) Agreed.
7) I agree that he will have some legal issues and that some of them may take years. I think some ducks are in a row to go get him very soon though. Time will tell.
8) I agree that he will have serious financial trouble. This will be part of the reason he will never be elected again to any office, and it will also be what keeps his idiot children from ever winning the Presidency.
9) I THINK you are right that Trump will not be eligible to run in 2024, but as of today I am not confident enough about that to declare it. I would add Marco Rubio to that list. I think Tucker Carlson will get his ass handed to him if he runs. I can't see him getting the nomination. If Don Jr. wins the nomination, Biden will destroy him in 2024. Donald Trump is an original...an original a$$hole, and Don Jr. won't have that kind of pull even with the same name. Yeah Rubio will definitely run, but he will get stomped again like they do to anyone who tries to be a "normal" republican. He is not extreme enough even though he has refused to answer if the earth is 6,000 years old. I am curious who trump would back if he is not eligible to run?
10) I would be very happy to see Harris win the Presidency. I think she is super smart, hardworking and a decent person, and she would be fantastic as the President. I'm still not sure Americans will vote for a woman for President just yet though. Even our very progressive party had it down to two white men at the end. It is hard to imagine Biden will want another 4 years as President, but I don't have a sense of what he will do just yet. Yeah sexism is going to be a huge hurdle well into the future. I hope the left is motivated enough against trumpism and whatever it's about to morph into to get over any reservations about a female president.
