Today’s Trump Apocalypse Watch: Yes, We’re Giving This Guy National Security Briefings

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.

Former Hillary Clinton and Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett made a prediction in July.

After Trump’s comments at an NBC national security forum last night, Lovett picked up his prize.

This seems like a good place to reiterate my prediction that, before this campaign is over, Trump will use the n-word, probably in the course of complaining that “politically correct” scolds won’t let him say it even though you hear it all the time in “rap music.”
