Kind of.
As many in America who aren't batsh*t insane struggle to cope with Donald Trump's increasingly unbelievable actions, and those who support them, there is one group of people in the media who kind of saw something like this coming, and when I say sort of I mean they did not predict Trump himself but more like what he espouses, and also because the media outlet that gave this prediction was satirical comedy site The Onion. Back in 2012 after Obama's victory in the election they posted a video on Youtube depicting a spoof news network covering possible GOP candidates for 2016, namely the Shrieking White-Hot Sphere of Pure Rage and the possible VP ticket candidate Dark Ominous Cloud of Racism.
Check it out:
I think it speaks volumes about Trump that he embodies the values of both spoof candidates, and I might also award them extra points for having predicted the GOP flocking to this enigma in the form of Trump, as now there are numerous Republican members of Congress and the Senate who have thrown in with Trump. This is just another example of Satirical Prophecy at its finest. So the lesson of today? Forget CNN. Forget MSNBC. The Onion is the one true prophet. So grows the orb.
