Trump 2nd term prediction thread

Trump 2nd term prediction thread

So, looks like Trump not only smashed the electoral college, but is looking on track to win the popular vote, which seems to be an unexpected turn of events, but a clear sign of the current temperature in the country and perhaps the wider world.

Would be interested to hear views on how his 2nd term will pan out from both sides of the aisle - major happenings, what he's going to get done, what he's not going to get done, the impact of his election on the current conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, whether his popularity will remain the same, wane, or increase, etc.

A bit of an anemic OP, I know, just interested to hear people's thoughts now that the election uncertainty is over.

wish he could start early


TSLA stock going up


Here's another couple:

-the 75% of Trump voters who are on SS, Medicaid, and OBAMAcare are going to get the rug when they cut the first two down to skeletons and cancel the last one, leaving them with literally nothing but misery.

-a lot of people who voted for him are going to be quite surprised and dismayed when their grandma who has been living here illegally for 40 years gets picked up by ICE after a random trip to the market and summarily deported back to a place she hasn't seen in two generations.

not sure why you believe republicans senators and representatives would ever suicide their political careers by cutting down social security a lot.

medicaid could be cut because medicaid eligible people don't tend to vote a lot, and Obamacare might be changed to the worse in some provisions (probably the very same medicaid enlargement), but social security, I really don't think so.

at most a very small change in benefits accrued for the same contributions might happen but even that is a low probability event given the political cost.

as for the deportations, if trump ever starts doing them a lot, yes some people some trump voter know could get deported.

This is the Project 2025 that was dems seeing ghosts under the bed, right?

only the parts that were also in trump list of policy proposals.

I really hope he starts the mass firing of federal employees

My one big prediction for this term:

All of Trump's technogarch 'friends', led by Thiel, will eventually turn on him and 25th or kneecap him via health concerns, getting their boy JD to sitting president.



by MyrnaFTW k

think Trump will devalue the dollar early in his presidency that way it can be blamed on the Dems ,who would have naturally let it happen once the debt was unsustainable..

by Luciom k

Guess that's why the USD index spiked up

actually yeah.
bonds will keep going higher until the fed decide to do QE again.
inflation coming strong and yield control like japan will be install.

trump has an history of loving debts and 0% interest rates .
trump will blame all on democrats and half the country will lap it up like happy dogs, cause u know dogs are made to be fed not to be eaten...


predictions .
good ones been said already.

ukrayne dead
gaza dead
inflation coming strong
possible cut in medicare, etc.
inequalities (monetary or judicial) going much higher.

this quote imo is where the US at .

“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”

winning the popular vote, the weak have taken over the country shrug
hard times ahead.

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode when a hurricane hit Springfield:



Btw Trump got white men college graduates +3 in the "key states" according to NBC

But ofc according to "experts" in this forum only low IQ low info voters vote for Trump and so on

Is graduating college really that hard? I have no idea, never went. Doesn't seem to be all that hard since so many people manage to do it.

It's easier every decade because of more people going in so they need to lower the standards because of the lower median IQ of participants. But it's still very hard to think that people who got a college degree aren't smarter than people who don't.

But the T+3 among white men with college degrees spans all generations, and people with a college degree over 60 were highly selected for example


by d2_e4 k

I haven't made any predictions in my own thread yet, but if I had a gun to my head to make some nontrivial one it's that either Trump or other actors behind the scenes will definitely be pushing to implement some or maybe even all of what was on the Project 2025 agenda, especially some of the more egregiously antidemocratic/authoritarian stuff. So, you think you're being all cute and jokey, but we'll see.

Trump wants a legacy

He believes the wall and abraham Accords and no wars should have been his legacy

Wall didn't happen

Accords were great but what's happened in the mid east since it's bad

Covid killed him

January 6 destroyed the legacy

I think he truly cares about his legacy

Predictions

1 wall gets completed
2 Russia gets a tiny peace of Ukraine, war ends
3 iran does not retaliate against Israel due to fear of Israel bombing their oil fields and nuke facilities with US Blessing
4 rfk bans many chemicals in foods including possibly gmo
5 certain cancer drugs will be allowed without having to do chemo first
6 VA gets revamped in a good way led by Gabbard
7 tax system changes drastically. Plan to eventually abolish irs gets introduced
8 a big deportation does happen, but an actual pathways to fill citizenship bill is signed for dreamers
9 both Israel wars end. Israel can keep military in buffer zones. PA governs gaza. Egypt jordan and Saudi in charge of oversight.
10 Palestinian state plan proposed. Israel keeps about half of Area C and gives up rest of West Bank in the plan
11 SAUDI ARABIA officially becomes a full trade partner with Israel
12 Chinese tariffs create tons of jobs. China also cuts price of our imports tremendously to stay competitive, very little inflation from it
13 two more supreme court judges get approved
14 republicans lose the house but keep the senate in 26. Bipartisan bills become common
15 trump pardons hunter biden if joe doesn't

This thread is about president-elect Donald Trump. Who are you talking about?


by d2_e4 k

lol could well be once AI has deemed us worth farming.

Can’t tell which level you’re on. Possible you don’t know what that is.

HINT: it’s not Animal Farm, though loosely inspired by it.

Well, this is certainly a half glass full prediction. I would say the Dolphins have a better chance of making the playoffs this year than most of these coming through.


I particularly like #12


The last part of #14 is pretty lol.


by checkraisdraw k

Here’s an interesting thing to think about/predict: who all do you think will be the first person Trump drops? I can’t imagine him wanting to share the spotlight with Elon or RFK Jr for much longer.

by Brian James k

Neither.

bahaha! :shocked:🤐😮

Nobody believes that you believe that. Trolling is only good when your targets think it's actually possible that you believe whatever dumb thing you're saying at the moment.

Anyway, Trump's NPD explains the permanently revolving door of his previous Administration, and it's why he'll never be able to work directly with Musk for very long (who himself is deeply addled in some way or another).

To answer the question, I bet the first people to be dropped are random underlings we've never heard of. He's always gonna blame powerless randos first before his beautiful, high-class, VERY HANDSOME and FANTASTIC fellow billionaires and stars.

That is the actual purpose of tariffs

by Didace k

That one is a dream. I do believe trump wants that but neither party would likely ever let it happen
