A man dubbed the “Prophet of Doom” has revealed his prediction for how President Donald Trump’s last two years in the Oval Office might go following the Democrats’ recent victory in the midterms.
Anyone with half an eye on the news will be aware that the Republicans suffered a bitter defeat in the midterm elections earlier this month, losing control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives as a result.
Political commentators have shared all manner of views as to what they think might happen after the Democrat-led Congress is sworn in in January 2027. Indeed, speculation has run rampant online over the past few days, with notions of impeachments and investigations exceedingly easy to find.
Craig Hamilton-Parker, the so-called “Prophet of Doom”, claims to have been among those who predicted the Republican party’s crushing midterms defeat, and he’s now shared his thoughts on what might follow, as well as what it might mean for Donald Trump.
Speaking on his self-titled YouTube channel, Hamilton-Parker said: “This is what’s coming up, I feel. It’s going to be like an angry hornet’s nest for Trump when his power is threatened.”
He continued: “This is quite an important turning point for the world […] But what happens now? Is Trump now a lame duck president, or is he going to become much more dangerous than ever?”
Hamilton-Parker stated that he believes the Democrats will again attempt to impeach Trump, but that he doesn’t think the POTUS will be convicted or removed from office.
“They can’t use the law against him quite in the way I think they hope to,” he added.
In the same video, Hamilton-Parker touched on the subject of warfare and how he believes Trump may try to lean into it to consolidate his own power.
“There will be further problems ahead with warfare ahead which will give Trump the opportunity to bring in more and more executive powers as it were because that we’re in a state of war,” he said, adding: “This isn’t going to lead to peace. This is going to lead to more warfare.”
Trump himself appeared uncharacteristically accepting of the election results in the days immediately following the midterms, insisting that he would accept the decision.
On election night, Trump told The New York Times he was “absolutely willing to accept those results,” and that he looked forward to working with Democrats. “We’ll probably work something out,” he said.
Earlier this week, however, the president appeared to switch stances, taking to Truth Social to float the idea of the election having been somehow rigged.
“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong???” the 80-year-old wrote.
“Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote.”
He also raised doubts about voting machines, writing: “It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”
Asked by reporters later that day whether he believed the midterms were rigged, he said: “I think the numbers were terrible in terms of early votes, you look at all those early votes.” Trump did not provide any evidence of fraud. Nevada’s Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar told NBC News the claims were “completely false.”
