Politics: Many people consider Nostradamus a crackpot, but did he describe Trump perfectly: "The false trumpet concealing madness"?

(The remainder of the verse is vague, of course: " ..will cause Byzantium to change its laws. From Egypt there will go forth a man who wants the edict withdrawn, changing money and standards.") But just coincidentally, doesn't that quote fit trump to a T? I mean the guy's name is Trump (trumpet), he's false (a liar), and from all indications he is mentally ill, though he has to conceal this 'fire and fury' when he is in public.

That's funny, just a few short years ago many people thought it described Obama.

That quite a stretch even for a troll. LOL

He must have been talking about HRC or Obama, the Kenyan.

Nostradamus was likely referring to Obama.

Obi Wan Knievel

No he didn't. And of course the rest of the verse is vague, because Nostradamus never used any kind of specific language. Like others in his trade, he kept his words as vague as humanly possible. Many people consider Nostradamus a crackpot for a reason. He was a crackpot.

People will use things like Nostradamus writings and apply a lot of confirmation bias. You don't like Trump, so to you, you see Trump. Someone who didn't like Obama will see Obama in it. Etc. (And in case you didn't realize it. just like people believe Trump lies, a lot of people believe Obama lied too).

Here's what the whole thing said, it doesn't fit Trump at all "The false trumpet concealing madness will cause Byzantium to change its laws. From Egypt there will go forth a man who wants the edict withdrawn, changing money and standards."

LONG LIVE X

I dream so much and I just can't seem to find an answer for what I'm living for in general I can't keep living like this, its breaking my heart day by day I mean who's to say you find an answer when there isnt? What if you just die? What if life as we know it is all a dream? What if we live for no reason? What if we just disappear when you die? Should I cling to life? Or should I just kill myself? So many contradictions, contemplation It's getting harder and harder to mask my pain I can't tell if I wanna live or if I wanna die Please save me

You realize it wasn't originally written in English, right?

Okay, that makes absolutely sense. Libs insist Trump's madness is NOT concealed, now you're saying it is?

JOE

Yep, it's exactly Trump!!
