Russia Predicts Trump Will Be Re-elected In 2020 But then Shares the Bad News

Russia has reportedly predicted that President Trump would be re-elected in 2020 but then would be followed by an ‘extreme leftist’ president.

As reported by newsweek.com

Russia's economic chief predicted that President Donald Trump would be re-elected in 2020, earning him a second term, followed by a radical shift in U.S. political leadership.

Russia Economic Development Minister Maxim Oreshkin told students gathered at Kommersant's Academy of Journalism that "the likely political scenario in America is that Trump will be re-elected for a second term and later he will be replaced by a Democrat, who will be an extreme leftist. I see this as the most probable scenario." He added that "a left-wing Democrat could emerge now if America comes up against an economic crisis earlier than by the next election," as translated by Russia's state-run Tass news agency.

Oreshkin then suggested that Trump's success was tied to global events and the course of a country that was "not a society of equal opportunities anymore."

"America’s shattered stability is visible in its economic performance," Oreshkin continued. "The rate of labor productivity over the past 10-15 years has substantially slowed down because the quality of human resources and social mobility has actually worsened. America has splintered into several various parts: New York, California, maybe Texas, and several other major areas. And then there is the rest of America, which turned out to be flyover country cast aside by that strata of society."
