The Hill ran a headline predicting the demise of President Trump this week, citing MSNBC legal expert Jonathan Turley. Cohen flipping puts Trump one witness away from catastrophe, the headline read. Turley is a serious legal mind not prone to the hyperbole of his liberal brothers. But his latest prediction of the end of Trumps presidency invokes a whiff of déjà vu.
Where have we heard before that Donald Trumps downfall is imminent? Well, for more than three years, predictions of Trumps demise as a candidate or as president have averaged about one a month.
Lets review. Heres a very abbreviated and non-exhaustive list of these predictions, from the top.

27 seems a little conservative. I would think there have been hundreds.
We are going to have to redesignate President Trump as The Teflon Don, Version 2.0.
Much like the original, John Gotti, the Mafia boss of the Gambino crime family in New York City. Repeated attempts to bring him to justice in the 1980s, in high-profile criminal trials, were deflected , and John Gotti actually was something of a rock star, with a large following among the general public.
But unlike Donald J. Trump, John Gotti really was the perpetrator of a number of very serious felonies, including murder, drug dealing, jury tampering, juror misconduct, and witness intimidation.
Gotti was finally convicted in 1991, when one of his subordinates turned states witness, and the FBI had a firm case. In 1992, Gotti was convicted of five murders, conspiracy to commit murder, racketeering, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, illegal gambling, extortion, and loansharking. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole and was transferred to United States Penitentiary, Marion, in southern Illinois, and died in 2002, at a prison medical facility.
My thoughts too.
27? Pshaw! The author had too much to drink last night and phoned this one in. That’s lazy.
I think the 27 number was just for yesterday.
I can’t even count all the times that they said it was the end of Hillary.
The author said the list was not complete.
These were 27 examples. There are more.
Morning Joe made the prediction 27 times LAST WEEK... (wrong every time)...
Every MSM outlet ran the story that once Trump secured the GOP nomination he would quit the race.
Thanks detective.
