A historian says Trump's presidency is likely to be the second shortest in history
Business Insider ^ | 2/18/17 | Charlotte England

Posted on 02/18/2017 5:09:19 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

.....Professor Ronald L Feinman predicted that the former reality TV star will stay in the top job "between the 31 days of William Henry Harrison in 1841," who died pneumonia and the "199 days of James A. Garfield in 1881," who died 79 days after he was shot by an assassin "after terrible suffering and medical malpractice."

Even if his time in office is "dragged out," Feinman predicted that Trump is unlikely to last the 16 months and 5 days of 12th president Zachary Taylor, who died of a digestive ailment while Head of State in 1850.

The 20th-century American history professor, who recently published a book about the unfortunate fates of US leaders, added that he thought the "Pence Presidency" was inevitable. He was referring to Trump's Vice President, Mike Pence, who would take over if Trump was to leave the leadership.

If I had a dollar for each prediction of Trump’s demise, I’d be able to go on vacation.

This begins to be about as accurate as all the predictions of the destruction of the U. S. Dollar.

After 15 billion predictions, someone will one day be right.

I doubt there will be 15 billion predictions about Trump’s demise, so we’re looin pretty good.

LOL

Looks like, as with most other election “experts”, his crystal ball had untreated glaucoma which has now caused this “perfesser” to descend into stark raving madness.

Hey, if we’re all making null predictions, here’s mine: He’ll be Prez 8 years and I will get to live out a Reagan presidency.

At least that Harold Camping guy quit predicting the end of the world after he was wrong a few times.

Is he a historian or some kind of wacky seer? Probably moonlights as a psychic.

Some moron posted a picture of Predident Trump laying on the stage with a bullet wound and a Breaking News headline, saying he had been shot at the rally today. I reported it. Let’s see if FB bans this idiot. What is wrong with people!

Exactly. I didn’t like Trump but I voted for him, and I still wish he’d tone down some of his attacks, particularly when people are reaching out a hand.

But at the same time, his outrageous approach is making some of these nutbag pressies back down, so I’m not complaining. These people are all idiot “communication majors” - usually the dumbest people in their class - and they now appear to be the true rulers of the US.

Well, up to now. Take them down Trump. Get honest and intelligent, well-educated reporters in there.

Glaucoma?

His crystal ball has a well advanced case of Macular Degeneration. Doesn’t see anything he focuses on.

The liberals should be praying to God for Trump’s protection because if any such predictions come true, there will be war. Real war. The kind of war where people like this hack die. Really die. Not just get fired for saying something stupid.

Trump is the law and order president. If you take him away, you will be taking away law and order. And you will pay the price.

As they say, be careful what you wish for.

Oh yeah. Cuz these hacks were sooooooo accurate in their predictions during the election.

Go away, fool. If you really knew how to read the future, you'd take $100 to the race track.

“particularly when people are reaching out a hand”

So, who would these people be?

Well, it better be natural causes, because we know who you people are and it will be war.

‘Professor Ronald L Feinman’

Interesting. If his ‘prediction’ comes true, I think he needs to, at a minimum, be in the very first police line up.

But that’s just me. ;)

I had never even heard of him until stories started popping-up in 2011 “Camping says world ends tomorrow!”.

Back in the 90’s he had a radio call in show taking questions on the Bible. He also wrote a book 1994 predicting the end of the world.

After the ‘live and let live’ Bush, I’m all for going for the throat.

Bush refused to engage. The problem with that was that it wasn’t just about him. It was Conservatism and the rest of us on the line too.

All that trash talk didn’t just hurt him. It hurt the nation big-time.

The populace really didn’t hear a defense of Conservatism.

It’s sort of like the financial melt-down. He and Congress knew it was coming. He mentioned it a few times and basically gave up. Where was the fight in that man?

Trump is a whole lot more like the common man that people realize. He takes on issues like you and I would. He reacts as if he’s sitting out back of someone’s home at a bar-b-que sipping back on a cold one. (I know he doesn’t embibe, but he’s so loose it seems almost like it.)

I’ve decided to give him a wide latitude on this sort of thing. If he can get the job done, I don’t care who he offends.

I want it done legally and by the Constitution, but that’s about the only limitations I’m putting on him.

What are we going to do with all the Communist professors we don’t need in the next 16 years, the golden Trump/Pence Era? There are thousands of them who will be roaming the land picking up aluminum cans along the roadsides or selling apples on the streets. They have no viable social or economic value.
