American University professor Allan Lichtman is known as “Prediction Professor.” Sounds funny but this man actually pretty legit for now at least. According to the New York Times, “only one major political historian, Allan Lichtman, had predicted that Trump would win.” So far he is 9 out of 9 since 1984. He’s been predicting this for over 30 years.
The professor has now made a new accusation. He says that Trump will be Impeached during his term. During an interview with Erin Burnett on CNN’s OutFront, he states,
“There’s a very good chance that Donald Trump could face impeachment.”
He says,
“Throughout his life, [Trump] has played fast and loose with the law.”
Lichtman believes that the Republican party is really shaky about Trump going into office.
“The Republicans are nervous about Donald Trump. He is a loose canon. Nobody knows what he really believes or really where he stands. He can’t be controlled. The Republicans would vastly prefer to have Mike Pence, an absolutely predictable down-the-pipe conservative Republican.”
He then went on to talk about why he made the prediction he made back in September.
“This one is not based on a system; it’s just my gut. 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. And I’m quite certain Trump will give someone grounds for impeachment, either by doing something that endangers national security or because it helps his pocketbook.”
Check out what he had to say below.
