Trump Dubbed a ‘Deranged Lunatic’ for Dystopian Prediction About Country's Future: "We Will Have A..."

Earlier in April, according to HuffPost, in a Michigan news conference alongside law enforcement officers, former president Donald Trump outlined the catastrophic stakes for the 2024 election—America would cease to exist if he isn't re-elected. In response, social media pounced on the GOP leader, accusing him of inciting panic and predicting doom.

Slamming the business mogul turned politician, netizens asserted that things would likely be more dire if he actually did win the presidency, as reported by OK! Magazine. "We know we're dealing with a deranged lunatic and the dangers he poses. I'm more sickened by law enforcement officers standing behind and applauding him," a user criticized on X, (formerly Twitter).

"The opposite is true. If he wins, we will never have another election. We will have a dictatorship," another predicted on X. A third user added, "Today Trump called immigrants 'animals' and argued that, if he doesn’t win in November, it 'could be the last election we ever have.' And it’s barely getting attention. This is how fascism is normalized. It cannot be considered partisan to call this out."

Chiming in, an X user slammed his dystopian tendencies, "No politician has ever been more willing to destroy 250 years of American democracy more than this piece of sh*t. This man-child silver spoon a**hat is so pathetic. Zero idea how any decent honorable person can still support this a-sclown."

Many others also pointed out Trump's alleged psychological manipulation tactics. A user explained on X, "Remember: Trump is trying to keep people in a state of existential dread so they can be emotionally manipulated and do whatever he asks, à la Jan 6. Right out of the autocratic playbook." 

Various internet users also speculated about what could happen if the GOP nominee did not win the election. "Trump is going down and he knows it and he will take the trump republicans with him," said one person, whereas someone else theorized, "If Trump loses, his authoritarian version of America will cease to exist and MAGA will start to dissolve." On a similar note, one X user pointed out, "If Trump is so bigly worried about America's existence, why did he block a bipartisan deal that would have tackled the crisis at the border? Because he wanted to campaign on the issue rather than to address the issue. Trump cares not a fig about America. He just wants power."

Additionally, many also asserted that Trump's fearmongering is because he fears if he doesn't win, he might go to prison. "He’s didn’t win in 2020. We still exist. We’ve had all sorts of elections since. That’s not what he’s worried about. He knows if he doesn’t win, he’s going to prison," a user slammed. "What a man says when he knows he will win the election or go to prison," a user echoed while another added, "No, we need Trump in 2024 NOT to exist and be sent directly to jail."
