8. I think he will disappoint his followers

He will not be bold, he will not be the anti-Washington mover and shaker. He will look exactly like any other guy getting sworn in. He'll be boring.

His only talent is being the huckster and con man, his only skill. If he's not doing that, he's mediocre and boring.

Soon after he is sworn in, I predict he will delegate 98% to his chosen officials and focus on being the face for the media and little else. Those cabinet members and officials are who to be wary of.

He's rightly scared of having a press conference where he'd have to answer a real, in depth question about something serious. Twitter is where he wants to be, where he can pick the topic (a trivial one) and expound on it with falsehoods and brags.

Class clown, dunce, bully, faking his way through life. Voted in by chumps, and also by people who were anyone-but-Hilary.
