Ever the dramatic types, Trump and pals in MAGA Nation made a number of predictions/warnings over the last year as to what would happen if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were successful in their campaign. Now, roughly a year after Biden captured the Democratic nomination for president, let’s look back at how many of those prognostications covered by National Zero ended up being true.
Prediction | Outcome |
Tucker Carlson warned Biden and Harris “want to make you drink Starbucks” – November 6, 2020. | Dunkin Donuts locations have not been shuttered by the government. McDonald’s still serves coffee. Coffee grinds, Keurig pods, and other non-Starbucks home coffee products are still sold at stores nationwide. This prediction was wrong. |
Reacting to the unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Don Jr tweeted “Folks this is coming to a town near you if Democrats win in November. Is this still ‘peaceful protesting?’ Has a single democrat denounced this anarchy yet? It is up to you if you want this in your backyard or not” – August 24, 2020. | The only significant outbreak of civil unrest in 2021 occurred on January 6th (after Biden had already been certified the 46th President by the electoral college) when a horde of Trump fans attacked the US Capitol building, leaving five dead. So violent anarchy did come to a town near you if you live in or around Washington, DC. This prediction was kind of accurate. |
Former Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, a complete mental patient, said to a crowd of Trump fans at some Conservative event that the United States would “become a communist nation within the first 100 days of a Biden Administration” – September 23, 2020. | Thursday, March 18th, 2021, is day 57 of the Biden Administration, so Bachmann is currently 57% wrong. The Bachmann wrong-o-meter increases by 1% each day that passes until April 30th, 2021, the 100th day of the Biden Administration. Then, unless the communism situation changes drastically, Bachmann’s prediction will be 100% wrong. |
Trump tweeted “Sleepy Joe Biden just agreed with the Radical Left Democrats to raise Taxes by Three Trillion Dollars. Everyone will pay – Will kill your Stocks, 401k’s, and the ECONOMY. BIG CRASH! #MAGA” on August 8, 2020. | None of this happened. Trump was just lying to scare people into voting for him. It didn’t work. He lost. Word is that he’s still pretty upset about it too. This prediction sucked. |
The Trump campaign sent a fundraising text saying “ANTIFA ALERT – They’ll attack your homes if Joe’s elected. Pres Trump needs you to become a Diamond Club Member. Your name is MISSING. Donate: bit.ly/3ipuQPr” on September 13, 2020. | We probably would’ve heard about it from Fox News or Breitbart if Antifa attacked anybody’s homes. They’ve been pretty desperate for outrage material lately. This prediction was wrong. |
Trump, ranting to a crowd of fans gathered on an airport tarmac in Ohio that Biden would “hurt the Bible, hurt God” as part of a radical left agenda if elected – August 6, 2020. | It is theoretically possible Joe Biden could have God tied up in a storage room in the White House basement, going down there every night to put cigarettes out on His forearms and beat Him with chains. But probably not, so this prediction is false until proven otherwise. |
Trump tweeted that the news media’s ratings would go down if Biden was elected – July 13, 2020. | Yeah, Trump pretty much nailed this one. |
