 Mexican wall will be at least half completed

 Mueller will end things with a whimper ... no convictions due to tainted process and evidence

Big infrastructure bill will be overwhelmingly enacted

Tesla Motors' stock will be at least halved

Russia will cooperate with Trump on Iran and NKorea ...

Iran and Turkey will erupt in violent protests

RIP: Bush 41, Jimmy Carter,  John McCain, Leonard DiCaprio

US Treasury will issue its own electronic (crypto)currency

ISIS will be blamed for at least 10 terror attacks worldwide

NKorea will implode ... Kim disappears
