Trump Confident He Will Defeat Hillary Clinton

JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA (The Borowitz Report)—Brushing aside gloomy predictions, Donald J. Trump said that he would trounce Hillary Clinton in the November election.

“A lot of people don’t think I will beat Hillary, but they should prepare to be wrong,” he said. “I am about to beat her by a landslide.”

Offering a rationale for his prediction, Trump said, “As crooked as Hillary was in 2016, she is even crookeder now. Mike Pompeo is going to release her e-mails, and they’re a disgrace. We’re moving quite strongly and powerfully on this.”

Claiming that he beat Clinton in their 2016 debates, Trump noted, “It’s no wonder that Hillary doesn’t want to debate me now. She knows I’d destroy her.”

Trump said that he is “very much looking forward” to the election, because it will give him a chance “to see Hillary crash and burn one more time.”

“When Election Night rolls around, as sure as you’re sitting there, absolutely no one will vote for Hillary Clinton,” he said.

he had also finished building his psychic prison. He has been there ever since, with his RPGs and flame throwers, maiming anyone who gets within range.

And it's beyond me how anyone ever considered voting for him - he's never "worked" for anything in his life, and POTUS is the hardest job there is!

Trump's essentially campaigning for the 2020 election using his 2016 playbook of which Hillary-bashing was a core component. While his hardcore base of the stupid, the mean-spirited, and the gravely misguided will continue to vote for him, that playbook won't serve him nearly as well as it earlier did. Trump is at core a rigid, inflexible personality incapable of changing, learning, or adapting. He feeds on old, bygone victories and entrenched hatreds...
