12 wild concepts for a future under Trump

With Trump’s inauguration to happen on Monday, here are my implausible predictions of what’s in store. Ridiculous? Maybe. Will they happen? Not all of them. But I’m willing to stake at least half. Am I adding to the conga line of boring predictions and regurgitation of others? Certainly not. Sit back, chuckle and hopefully we can all laugh about how silly I am in a few years from now.

In short, the 12 predictions are:

  • Stasi media

  • (the)M FAT PIGS

  • PIGS IN SPACE

  • Early exit

  • Jump the Shark/Queue

  • Corrections

  • Reserved in principal

  • The PT Brainfarts show (there’s one born every minute)

  • Make China Great Again

  • Egoist Anarchist

  • Outsourced cruelty

  • New world quartered

1. Stasi media

Trump will replicate other authoritarian governments and have direct access to the data of what are called tech bros. (My term below) With the dismantling of the intelligence infrastructure, this will report directly to Trump.
