A US-based professor, who was among the few prognosticators who had predicted Donald Trump1's victory, has made another stunning2 prediction that he will be eventually impeached3 by a Republican Congress and replaced by a leader who can be trusted and controlled.
继准确预言唐纳德·特朗普将成功竞选总统之后(尽管只有少数几个“预言家”是站在特朗普这边的),美国某教授又发表了令人震惊的言论:特朗普将被共和党国会弹劾,并由一个值得信任且易于掌控的领导人代替上位。
Professor Allan Lichtman has predicted that if elected, Mr Trump (70) would eventually be impeached by a Republican Congress that would prefer a President like Mike Pence someone whom establishment Republicans know and trust, the Washington Post reported.
"I'm going to make another prediction. This one is not based on a system; it's just my
gut4. They don't want Trump as president, because they can't control him. He's unpredictable. They'd love to have Pence an absolutely down-the-line, conservative, controllable Republican," he said.
Meanwhile, an online petition that has been set up to demand that the Electoral College vote in favour of Hillary Clinton has gathered three million signatures, the Express .co.uk reported.
The Electoral college will have to cast their votes to cement Mr Trump's
presidency5. It is set to meet on December 19. Should an elector vote against the will of the people -- i.e. go 'faithless' -- then it could have a huge sway on who becomes the next US leader.
The petition created by Elijah Berg states: "Mr Trump is unfit to serve. His
scapegoating6 of so many Americans, and his
impulsivity7,
bullying8, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic."
