If Trump is sworn in as president, there will be a terrorist attack on U.S. soil within his first 100 days. [Editor’s note: Or anytime early in his term; the results would be the same.] In response to this terrorism, pundits will say America must rally behind the president, that we must put the disputed election, the CIA intelligence of tampering, the bruised egos and hurt feelings behind us and come together to fight the outside threat. And we’ll do it, and Trump will no longer be the unpopular buffoon in office with a giant asterisk and no mandate. He will be entrenched on the throne.

The attack will happen either because groups that have been plotting for years recognize the first days in the reign of a uniquely unqualified puppet of corporate interests as an opportunity (see here), or it will occur with the complicity of Trump’s corporate interests and their shadowy intelligence services in order to shore up support for their uniquely unqualified stooge.

The daily revelations of Trump’s ties to Russian intelligence services and business interests, as well as his appointment of Russian “Order of Friendship” winner Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, make this dire prediction plausible.

Why? Because it’s happened before.

In the fall of 1999, just months after then-unknown former FSB agent Vladimir Putin had been sworn in as prime minister of Russia, someone began bombing apartment buildings. Over the course of two terrible months, hundreds of people died in the series of explosions around the country and thousands were injured. As Masha Gessen tells it in her book The Man Without a Face, “panic set in all over the country.” The majority of the country assumed Chechen terrorists were responsible. Paranoia became the national mood and vigilante surveillance the national pastime. Into this chaos stepped Vladimir Putin.

1. That could be, but there could also be a fierce backlash over any attacks directed against

the man who trash talks all the time.

2. I absolutely believe this is true and I am glad that someone wrote it down.

I believe the latter explanation for who will attack us:

the complicity of Trump’s corporate interests and their shadowy intelligence services in order to shore up support for their uniquely unqualified stooge.

3. I fear terrorist attacks at Trump buildings around the world

This could get very nasty VERY fast.

And his empire is going to quickly crumble if no one feels safe in one of the "Trump" buildings.

4. I can imagine the thin skinned one's reaction if his international Trump branded properties are ..

threatened.

Will he send in the Marines to protect United States' interests?

Severer diplomatic relations?

Be a twit on twitter?

...

Sigh.

5. I can only say,

"We'll see soon enough"
