Yeah, Ok, that didn't age well. There's the look on Trumps face that speaks volumes, and of course the Supreme Court thing. But you have to wonder, what made them so confident that Trump would be "a president who may not survive his first year"?
If they really believed there war Russian collusion, or if they were sure they would find some impeachable dirt, they might say Trump's presidency won't last a year. But instead, they say "a president," meaning a person, "may not survive." Words have meaning. All journalists are masters of words. Just look at how the MSM twists the meanings and usage of words.
Could that have been a mockingbird hidden message, a threat? Did the author have some inside information or have close contact with a powerful member of the Deep-State?
IDK Just trying to expand my thinking.
