3. Trump will never be elected.
4. Trump's Billy Bush comments will sink his campaign.
5. If Trump gets elected, the economy will crash.
6. Trump will get impeached within his first year.
7. Trump's tax plan will cause most peoples' taxes to increase.
8. Trump's tax plan will crash the economy.
9. Trump will lose the trade war with China.
10. Trump will get us into a nuclear war with North Korea.
11. Trump will get us into a nuclear war with Russia.
12. Trump will deport all the Mexican's.
13. Trump will deport all the muslims.
14. Trump will wage war on gay rights.
15. Backing out of the TPP will crash the economy.
16. Mueller is going to have Trump indicted.
17. Brexit will never pass.
18. Russians hacked the election.

I'm sure I left out a lot of items, so feel free to add to the list.

Why does the fake news, tabloid media continue to embarrass itself will all of it's stupid, baseless predictions?
A collected version of right wing myth.

The vast majority of these are simply the right wings version of what the left believes. Few have any actual tie to reality.

There was for instance considerable discussion about a Trump victory leading to an economic crash. But it was the financial sector making those projections not the left. And the NY Times published an opinion piece that the crash was not likely.

What on earth has the US left got to do with Brexit?

Just stacked up right wing garbage.

The only garbage is this post. Do you actually think people here don't know how to use google so they can link the plethora of times the left said the sky was falling on the economy?

Who is Donny?

There are a number of claims that electing Trump might cause an economic reversal. Virtually all are from the financial press. The lead opinion piece in the NY Times in fact denied that a down was likely.

Again this is the standard right wing myth. That the right gets to determine what the left says.

Those on either side that were against the Trans-Pacific Partnership had valid points to oppose it.

He just deflects from the problems he has with Avenatti. A good lawyer who WILL sink this foolish president. Nothing but BS coming out of his big mouth...
