2018 Predictions: It Has to be a Better Year than 2018.

Politics

1. There will be relentless probes, subpoenas, allegations, committees and everything into the White House. It will all be for naught as Trump wriggles out of everything. They will call him the Teflon Don after this.

2. The Mueller probe will be find nothing and no collusion will be charged. It will all be an exercise in nothing and the Dems will quickly forget it has happened.

3. Gridlock will paralyze Washington and not much of anything will get done.

4. Growth will slow but we will not have a recession. We will get a China deal and it will be thin gruel and be the kind of thing that we would have got without trade tensions. Trump will pound his chest saying it was the best trade deal ever done.

5. No infrastructure deal and immigration will still stay an issue.

6. There will be 12 Democratic challengers and 2 GOP primary challengers going into 2020. The horse-race will start even earlier then ever before. Hillary will not run.

World

1. The Syrian war will end with some sort of peace as Russia and Iran holds the South and the Saudis and Iraq hold the Northeast. The massacre of the Kurds does not happen.

2. A peace deal is done with the Taliban and peace reigns in that country for the first time in decades.

3. The fear of terrorism will start to subside some as fewer attacks are carried out.

4. World leaders will continue to distrust and talk crap about Trump. However the world will start to move toward a populism as Germany moves away from Merkle and France moves away from Macron. Brexit will cost the Torries their position as Labor once again gains power. Without Corbyn. 

5. China becomes the most important movie market by far with America taking 2nd fiddle. Every every big movie opens in China first and America limps along afterward
