You could spin the story the exact opposite way if you want.<p>Trump is elected. Relations with Russia improve because Trump and Putin can be in the same room long enough to agree that the lines on the map and the exact form of oppressive government in any particular middle eastern nation are mostly irrelevant as long as oil flows through the pipelines and money flows through the banks. Meanwhile Europe comes out better because the post-brexit panic causes the EU to seriously revaluate its immigration and related economic issues which results in meaningful improvement. Increased global prosperity causes China to sideline it&#x27;s steady encroachment on its neighbors because who cares about some island when being on good business terms with everyone is far more valuable.<p>There&#x27;s never a shortage of pessimistic opinions leading up to any change in leadership. The ability to publish any particular one online doesn&#x27;t make it any more legitimate.

It&#x27;s easy to do a pessimistic forecast:<p>In order to sway the opinion Trump will need a fake attack on US soil around October, something big and spectacular.<p>Then join our TTT movement:<p>&quot;Trump for a third term!&quot;

I also recommend reading the first comment on that Medium article from top to bottom. Hits the nail straight on its head.
