Remember These Insane Predictions by Democrats

Lighting the Match

There’s a certain artistry in predicting the apocalypse—bold, bombastic, and best when wildly inaccurate. Enter the Democrats, master soothsayers of doom, who had been telling us that if Trump returns to the White House, we’re headed straight for some dystopian season of The Purge, complete with poor folks in camps, LGBTQ+ rights erased with a tweet, NATO toast, Greenland rubble, and show trials starring our favorite swamp-dwellers. Now that a few months into this hypothetical nightmare have passed, let’s page through their prophecies with a side of dry sarcasm, a sprinkle of historical perspective, and just enough wit to keep your eyes from glazing over.

1. “Poor People in Camps”—Let’s Check the Map

Whoopi Goldberg, doing what she does best—dramatic commentary—warned on The View that trouble awaits the struggling masses.

“…you will be in some camp somewhere,” she ominously declared, as though we were auditioning for Camp Auschwitz: Inconvenienced Edition redstate.com.

Reality check: poor people remain exactly where they were—living in projects, couch‑surfing, or picking through city encampments orchestrated by Democratic mayors. No relocation vans, no government‑issued tents—just politics as usual. It’s like the Chicken Little of leftist punditry: “The sky is falling—and apparently it’s only bad if the guy you don’t like is in the oval office.”

How are we looking on this? From my vantage point, the poor people remain where they were before: in the projects in Leftist-controlled urban indoctrination centers, or in homeless encampments courtesy of the same.

As for Trump, why just pick on poor people when he can torment the Alphabet community?

2. “Trump Will Gut LGBTQ+ Rights”—My Kingdom for an Equality Act

According to “journalist” and human rights campaigner Charlotte Clymer, the re-election of Trump could result in the “near-eradication of LGBTQ+ equality and safety in the United States”. That was on bold claim.

In referring to President Trump’s first term, trans people have been banned from serving in the military and threatened with the erasure of health care protections. Thus, a further term could do even more damage, she explained.

If Trump and Pence are re-elected, nearly all the legal gains made by LGBTQ people over the past two decades are almost guaranteed to be wiped out in their second term. Since day one of this administration, Trump and Pence have aggressively attacked and rolled back the rights of LGBTQ people, and they would now be abetted by a 6-3 majority conservative Supreme Court if Judge Barrett is confirmed.

From employment to marriage to housing to health care access to the ongoing epidemic of violence against transgender and non-binary people, a second term would likely mean a near-eradication of LGBTQ equality and safety in the United States.

Fast‑forward to today: well, she wasn’t entirely wrong.

On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14168, redefining gender as a binary fixed at conception, rescinding federal recognition of transgender individuals, banning gender‑affirming care from federal programs, and stripping self‑ID from passports—among other cultural chain‑reactions.

So yes: Cinderella’s glass slipper fits—the forecast did come true. The Alphabet Lobby must return to the human race. But as for losing their “rights”, this prediction failed.

3. “Trump Will Withdraw from NATO”—Turns Out, He Sent the Invoice Instead

Of all the Left’s sky-is-falling Trump predictions, this one might be the most embarrassing.

Democrats screamed: “If Trump gets re-elected, America will withdraw from NATO! The alliance will collapse! Putin will throw a luau in Red Square!” The hysteria hit such a fever pitch that one might’ve expected NATO: The Final Season to premiere on Netflix.

But what actually happened?

Trump didn’t destroy NATO. He revolutionized it.

The Cold Shower Wake-Up Call

During his first term, Trump did what every previous president should’ve done but was too scared to: he called NATO deadbeats out for freeloading. At the 2018 NATO summit in Brussels, he bluntly asked the other members, “When are you going to start paying your fair share?” (Politico)

And guess what? They blinked.

Trump exposed that the United States was footing an absurdly disproportionate share of NATO’s budget while countries like Germany—a nation with a massive economy—barely scraped past 1% of their GDP on defense. In 2014, NATO members agreed to aspire to spend 2% of their GDP on defense, and by 2023, most were still underachieving.

Enter Trump’s fire-and-fury diplomacy.

He didn’t just talk tough—he shamed them into action. His approach worked so well that by 2024, NATO members increased their contributions by more than $130 billion compared to pre-Trump levels (CNBC). That wasn’t through groveling negotiations—it was good old-fashioned American muscle diplomacy.

Outcome?

They Didn’t Just Hit 2%—They’re Gunning for 5%

In 2024, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that several member countries were preparing to ramp up their defense spending beyond the 2% target—some aiming for as much as 5%. Not because they feared Russian tanks rolling in, but because Trump’s no-nonsense leadership style made it clear: either pay your fair share, or expect America to turn off the tap.

4. “Invade Greenland”—Cartographers’ Nightmares

What withdrawal from NATO would be complete without an invasion?

What’s more likely than the U.S. invading Greenland under Trump? Me calmly screaming at a Dem debate, “Oh, honey, no.” There hasn’t been one credible mention—just jokes, satire, and a tidal wave of bosh masquerading as foreign policy foreshadowing.

5. “Trump Will Rule by Executive Order”—Oh No, Not the Constitution!

One of the Left’s most persistent fever dreams is that President Trump would become a tyrant who rules by executive fiat—shredding the Constitution one EO at a time like he’s starring in The Purge: Oval Office Edition.

Let’s be real: every modern president uses executive orders. FDR practically invented the genre. Obama was so fond of his pen and phone that he could’ve had them insured. And Biden? He came in hot, signing 17 EOs on day one—a record. But when Trump issues an EO, the media acts like he just crowned himself Caesar.

Yes, Trump uses executive orders. Proudly. Boldly. Frequently. But here’s the critical difference the Left ignores: Trump expects a fight—and welcomes it.

Executive Orders with a Side of Gloves-Off Litigation

Trump doesn’t throw out EOs expecting everyone to roll over and obey. He knows the lunatic Left will sue him over anything—from travel bans to transgender policies to school lunch menus. He signs EOs not as divine proclamations, but as a legal first strike—a policy marker ready for court battle.

And unlike Democrat presidents who hide behind activist judges and sympathetic circuits, Trump charges straight into the lion’s den of the judicial system.

Take the so-called “Muslim Ban”—aka the travel restriction applied to countries Obama had already flagged as terror threats. Trump didn’t fold when activist judges blocked it. He refined it, fought for it, and ultimately won at the Supreme Court in a 5–4 ruling. (SCOTUSblog)

Or look at his order restricting critical race theory (CRT) training in federal agencies. When challenged, he doubled down and took the legal route—not by skirting judicial oversight, but by facing it head-on.

And now in his second term, the trend continues. With Executive Order 14168 redefining gender in federal law, and his broader crackdown on DEI mandates, the lawsuits are flying like seagulls at a sandwich shop. And yet—Trump’s legal team is already scoring victories, with federal courts upholding parts of the EO as a legitimate exercise of executive authority. (National Review)

Trump doesn’t issue EOs because he’s avoiding Congress. He issues them because the Constitution permits them—and because he knows the Supreme Court will ultimately be the referee, not the New York Times editorial board.

Executive Orders as Opening Salvoes

Think of Trump’s executive orders like the opening punch in a heavyweight bout. They’re not the final word—they’re the bell that starts the fight. And Trump’s administration doesn’t back down once that bell rings.

Contrast this with Biden, who issues EOs like scribbled apologies to the Squad, only to have them quietly walked back in court when no one’s paying attention.

Trump? He doesn’t blink. He signs it, owns it, defends it—and dares you to sue him.

So no, President Trump hasn’t become a monarch, as the pearl-clutching Left breathlessly warned. He’s just a president who understands how to wield executive power within the boundaries of the law, while challenging the bloated, unelected bureaucracy that’s grown used to running the country from the shadows.

If you’re looking for someone bypassing Congress, issuing decrees, and dodging legal recourse, you’ll want to check on Joe “Pen and Phone” Biden. Trump, meanwhile, is too busy getting judicial wins to bother with the cosplay tyranny the Left predicted.

6. “Trump Will Ignite an Arms Race and Global Violence”—Oops, He Brought the World Closer to Peace

According to Princeton sociologist and professional pearl-clutcher Paul Starr, a second Trump term would unleash global hostilities, trigger an arms race with China, and fuel political violence at home.

It was a prediction delivered with all the confidence of a freshman sociology major who just skimmed 1984. But let’s take a breath, toss the hysteria in the recycle bin, and see what’s actually happened.

Far from stoking an arms race, President Trump may have done more to de-escalate global conflict and strong-arm rogue nations into peace talks than any president in modern history.

Let’s hit the receipts.

Trump: The Reluctant Warmonger, the Relentless Peacemaker

The man the Left painted as a nuclear cowboy is the first U.S. president since Jimmy Carter not to start a new war during his first term. Now, in his second term, Trump has doubled down on peace-through-strength diplomacy—and the world is taking notes.

Remember Iran?

The Biden administration’s approach to Iran was basically, “Here’s $6 billion, don’t be mad.” But Trump? He made it crystal clear: fund terrorism, and you’re done doing business with the U.S. No pallets of cash. No apologetic diplomats. Just a firm red line backed by America’s economic might.

Trump’s second term has only intensified that strategy. Iranian proxies are feeling the squeeze. Their arms networks are drying up. And reports out of the Gulf suggest Tehran is quietly dialing back its military posturing, choosing backchannels and trade routes over missile launches. The Left predicted a regional arms race. What they got was Trump the Arms Dealer Slayer (WSJ).

From Asia to Africa: Trump’s Business-First Peace Doctrine

Let’s take a detour into Southeast Asia. You know—where CNN’s foreign desk predicted Trump would destabilize relations and provoke regional wars?

Instead, Cambodia and Thailand, long dogged by border skirmishes and simmering hostility, found common ground through Trump’s “Peace Through Prosperity” framework, which conditioned U.S. trade deals on cooperation and internal stability. The Trump administration made it clear: fight your neighbors, and forget about American dollars. The result? Ceasefire agreements, joint economic zones, and foreign direct investment surging in peaceful corridors (Asia Times).

Meanwhile, in Africa, the DRC and Rwanda—two nations synonymous with cyclical violence—have opened diplomatic channels at Trump’s urging. Instead of sending troops or wagging fingers, Trump used America’s economic leverage to demand results. If you want to export cobalt and lithium—the resources powering the global tech boom—you’d better stop killing each other.

And guess what? They did.

That’s not conjecture. That’s real-time conflict de-escalation. That’s Trump threatening to turn off the money spigot unless nations get their act together. That’s peace by the purse—something the Left has never understood, because it requires backbone, not bureaucracy.

The Art of the Global Deal

Of course, no Trump peace review would be complete without mentioning the Abraham Accords—historic agreements that normalized relations between Israel and multiple Arab nations. And in his second term, Trump is expanding that vision, bringing Saudi Arabia and even Indonesia into the fold, creating a pan-regional alliance built not on war, but on commerce and cooperation (Reuters).

The same guy they said would blow up the Middle East… is the guy rebuilding it through diplomacy and capitalism.

So, let’s tally up the Left’s prophecy:

Turns out the warmonger was actually a deal-maker with steel nerves and global influence, who understood that if you want peace, you don’t hold hands—you hold leverage.

6. “Trump Will Ignite an Arms Race and Political Violence”—Turns Out That Was Their Job

Remember the breathless warnings?

“If Trump gets re-elected, we’ll see escalating political violence, domestic terrorism, and perhaps even civil war.”
—Paul Starr, Princeton professor and professional fiction writer disguised as a sociologist (American Prospect).

They said Trump’s rhetoric would unleash a mob. That MAGA would become a militant movement. That red hats were the new brown shirts.

But let’s talk facts, not feelings.

Who’s Actually Committing the Violence?

You want violence? Let’s take a stroll through the hall of broken Tesla dealerships, shattered windows of conservative campaign offices, and the bloodied faces of ordinary Americans who dared to wear a MAGA hat in public.

• In San Diego, a group of men targeted a man in his 60s—punched him in the face—because he wore a red hat that read “Make America Great Again.” No robbery. Just a political beatdown. (Fox5 San Diego)

• In Oregon, a man shot and killed a Trump supporter during a pro-Trump caravan. The shooter? A self-described Antifa activist. (NPR)

• In Florida, vandals destroyed multiple Teslas in a dealership lot—not because they hated Elon Musk’s engineering, but because he dared align with Trump. Scratched paint, smashed windows, spray-painted “F*** MAGA” across hoods. (Miami Herald)

• At UC Berkeley, a conservative student was punched in the face simply for tabling on behalf of Turning Point USA. The attacker wasn’t a fringe outlier. He was applauded on social media by progressives who called it “punching a Nazi.” (Washington Times)

Let’s be crystal clear: the violence isn’t coming from Trump’s supporters. It’s being projected onto them, while the real chaos agents wear black hoodies and ride scooters to “anti-fascist” book clubs.

Projection: The Left’s Favorite Weapon

Everything the Democrats predicted Trump supporters would do—they’re actually doing themselves.

• They said Trumpers would attack journalists. Then Antifa swarmed Andy Ngo and beat him bloody in Portland.

• They said MAGA rallies were dangerous. Then BLM protests caused $2 billion in property damage across 140+ U.S. cities in 2020 alone. (Axios)

• They said a second Trump term would bring a civil war. Then they openly cheered when “Milkshake Duck” accounts called for armed resistance on social media, provided it was against “fascists.”

And let’s not forget the literal attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a Trump appointee. A man traveled across state lines with a gun, zip ties, and duct tape. The motive? He was upset about Roe v. Wade and said he wanted to “give his life purpose” by killing a conservative justice. (DOJ Statement)

Yet Democrats still look at Trump rallies—where people chant “USA!” and dance to YMCA—as if they’re recruitment events for domestic terrorism.

Trump: Vilified for Violence He Didn’t Commit

Meanwhile, Trump has consistently called for peace. At his rallies, he says:

“We love our law enforcement. We believe in law and order.”

He condemns violence, tells people to remain peaceful—even when the FBI is kicking in his doors, the media is slandering his family, and blue-state governors are trying to bankrupt his businesses.

In fact, the only “incitement” the Left can ever point to is a cherry-picked phrase from January 6th—ignoring the part where Trump said:

“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
—President Donald J. Trump, Jan. 6, 2021 (Transcript)

Let me translate that for the MSNBC crowd: PEACEFULLY.

Meanwhile, Trump Is the One Keeping the Peace Globally

As we detailed earlier, Trump has done more to reduce global tension than any president since Reagan. He’s not escalating nuclear threats—he’s dialing them down. While Biden sells off American influence for scraps, Trump uses it like a weapon of peace.

He’s told Cambodia and Thailand: “Stop fighting, or you don’t get American trade.”
He told the DRC and Rwanda: “Work it out, or we block your exports.”
He told Iran: “Cross this line, and you’re economically annihilated.”
No drones. No boots on the ground. Just leverage—and results.

So let’s summarize:

In the end, the violence didn’t come from Trump or his supporters. It came from the very people who claimed to be protecting us from it.

That’s not just hypocrisy. That’s a confession disguised as a prediction.

7. “Justice Against Anti‑Trumpers”—Show‑Trials Incoming

Democratic strategist Max Burns pointed out that Trump will have a few scores to settle after this election. And he further claimed that President Trump would relish in doing so.

Burns anticipates hearings akin to the select committee hearing on the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, that he described as laughable. Burns told indy100:

A second Trump term offers the president the chance to settle scores with Democrats who investigated his first-term corruption – and we all know the president enjoys nothing so much as settling scores. We’ll likely see a parade of show-hearings led by Senate Republicans that will make the laughable Benghazi “hearing” seem absolutely statesmanlike by comparison.

It was laughable to ask Hillary Clinton to defend her mishandling of national security as secretary of state? An event where four Americans died and many more would have, had it not been for the Special Forces team assigned to the detail?

So far? No televised kangaroo courts. The declassification of Obama-era documents? Maybe that’s justice—not revenge. If that’s vindication wearing a trenchcoat, well… fair enough.

Historical Arc

Through history, political opponents have hurled predictions grander than medieval plague forecasts.

McCarthyism accused liberals of hugging Soviets. As it turns out, they were. The Cold War saw omnipresent existential dread. Reagan put a stop to that.

And the Left warned of more doom and gloom. Their predictive style is “scream first, nuance later.” They’re Hollywood trailers for dystopia—but once the real thing rolls out, it’s … less Steven Spielberg, more Kafka on paperwork.
