Every one of us can no doubt recall all of the dire predictions offered up about then-candidate
Donald Trump throughout 2015 and 2016.
It was a running theme of media coverage — how every supposed misstep or gaffe signaled the
imminent "end" of his campaign during the primaries, and how he had absolutely zero
chance of defeating heavily favored Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton in the general election.
Of course, Trump's campaign never actually ended because of the supposed gaffes and missteps,
and he walloped Clinton decisively in November 2016, in spite of the endless predictions
to the contrary.
Unfortunately, despite their many self-assured predictions prior to the election having been
proven incredibly wrong, countless members of the media — whether anchors, contributors
or "experts" — have insisted on continuing to offer up yet more confident predictions
of the impending political demise of Trump's presidency.
A small sampling of the multitude of media predictions about Trump has been compiled
into a video on social media that is both hilarious and somewhat disconcerting at the
same time.
The compilation video starts off in August 2017 with several media personalities proclaiming
the "bombshell" news that Trump's presidency had reached a "tipping point" and had
drawn near the "beginning of the end" of his time in office.
MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle was specifically featured (in a humorously repeated clip) saying,
"I know we've said this over and over … and over and over … and over and over
again."
Fast-forwarding through September and October 2017, many of the same media personalities
continued to assure viewers that "this is the beginning of the end" as they added
in a new catch-phrase, "the walls are closing in."
That was a talking point that was quite obviously spread far and wide among the liberal media.
The dire "bombshells" that marked the "beginning of the end" continued through
November and December 2017, again as Trump's presidency hung precariously on a "tipping
point" and was veritably "crippled."
More "bombshells" and "trouble" came for Trump in January and February 2018, as
the president was supposedly preparing to resign the office in disgrace.
Several clips of sleazy porn star attorney Michael Avenatti — and Lord knows there
were hundreds of media appearances to choose from with this piece of work — featured
him confidently predicting that Trump's "resignation" was imminent and the president
would not serve out the remainder of his term in office.
June and July 2018 showcased a return of the "walls are closing in" talking point with
the media, as these same media personalities who've been so wrong on so many occasions
continued to insist they were correct this time … it was "over" for Trump.
The video quite cleverly then spliced together several different talking heads all saying
the exact same phrases one word at a time, which is both amusing and frightening, as
it laid bare the hive-mind of collectivist thought and adherence to scripted talking
points that the media routinely deny leaning on.
Considering all of the "bombshells" that were dropped by the media over the past year,
America's political landscape should be more pockmarked than the no-man's-land of
a World War I battlefield … yet Trump continues to govern the country, relatively unscathed.
Indeed, in spite of this past year being the "beginning of the end" for more than 12
months, and in spite of the media continually insisting the "walls are closing in" on
Trump, the president has nevertheless proceeded to achieve voluminous accomplishments.
Meanwhile, Trump hasn't resigned, been impeached or indicted, and the same folks who made laughably
wrong predictions during the 2016 election are still making laughably wrong predictions
through Trump's presidency.
Sadly, they will learn nothing from this video and will continue to pull out their hair as
they obsess over everything Trump does, and we will continue to laugh at their utter absurdity.
