...I said in 2016.

And again in 2020.

And once more in 2024.

Surely it'll happen this time!

Meanwhile, Trump has only gotten more popular over the years.

In 2016, he won 46% of the vote.

In 2020, he won 47% of the vote.

In 2024, he won 50% of the vote.

Trump is more popular today than he was at this point in 2017 on average.

People have been predicting the collapse of Trump since 2015 and every single time, they've been wrong.
