The Trump Apocalypse Watch is a subjective daily estimate, using a scale of one to four horsemen, of how likely it is that Donald Trump will be elected president, thus triggering an apocalypse in which we all die.
Remember when one of Donald Trump’s first reactions to the massacre in Orlando was to say he appreciated how many people were congratulating him for having predicted jihad murders on American soil? Today, reporters asked Trump—who is in Scotland on a trip to promote one of his golf courses—what he thought of the Brexit, the world-shaking event that has put markets in Trump’s home country in turmoil and caused a steep decline in the value of the currency of the country he’s currently in. One of the first things Trump brought up in response was that the crash would be good for tourism to his golf course.
There’s a political saying: “Never waste a crisis.” Since becoming the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump now appears to be 0 for 2.
