President Donald Trump may have a talent for fortune telling — but he may want to take some Windex to his hazy crystal ball.
On Monday, an old post Trump published on Truth Social in August 2024 gained some steam on X, formerly Twitter. In the post, Trump takes a predictably hyperbolic stance against former President Joe Biden and how he was running the country in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election. It should be noted that Trump published this post shortly after Biden announced he was stepping down as the Democratic party’s 2024 nominee and endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement.
“STOCK MARKETS ARE CRASHING, JOBS NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE, WE ARE HEADING TO WORLD WAR lll, AND WE HAVE TWO OF THE MOST INCOMPETENT ‘LEADERS’ IN HISTORY. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!” Trump wrote at the time.
Needless to say, X users found Trump’s old post pretty ironic. All three major U.S. stock indexes fell significantly on Monday; a huge chunk of the federal workforce was laid off thanks to the reckless actions of Elon Musk; and the brink of World War III does currently feel like it’s looming thanks to Trump’s insistence that Ukraine invaded Russia, when in reality, it’s the other way around. After an explosive Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in late February, Trump paused military aid to Ukraine (but lifted it Tuesday).
To many X users, Trump’s old post comes off like he prophesied what is happening today under his leadership. To read what people had to say, just scroll down.
