President Trump has made a bold prediction. He is predicting that the New York Times will endorse his re-election campaign.
The reasoning for this claim is that without him in the Oval Office the Times will go out of business.
According to Fox News:
President Trump said he is “certain” that he will receive an endorsement from The New York Times in 2020 for the presidential election, he said in a tweet Sunday night.
His tweet appeared to be tongue in cheek.
“The New York Times will be out of business soon after I leave office, hopefully in 6 years,” Trump tweeted after returning to the White House from a vacation at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J.
“They have Zero credibility and are losing a fortune, even now, especially after their massive unfunded liability. I’m fairly certain they’ll endorse me just to keep it all going!”

President Trump has long been at odds with the New York Times and this is just another interesting twist in their relationship.
It will be interesting to see if the Times does in fact endorse Trump in 2020.
