Iran & Middle East

Trump will declare war on Iran, and the war will be a disaster for the United States.

Trump launched a war on Iran on 28 Feb 2026, though Congress never formally declared war. It has proved costly but has not clearly been a disaster: 21-24 US troops killed, 865+ wounded, about $43.6B spent, Hormuz disrupted, oil above $100, and the regime survives with fighting still going on. Whether it ends in disaster is still open.

War & WWIII

The Iran war will mean the end of the American empire and a multipolar world of endless war and the deaths of millions or billions.

The US-Israel war on Iran began 28 Feb 2026, went through a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire (8 Apr) and the Islamabad Memorandum (17 Jun), collapsed 8 Jul, and is still unresolved in Oct 2026, with indirect talks via Qatar. There is no clear end of American power yet, and deaths number in the thousands, not millions.

Technology & AI

Fully self-driving cars will never be achieved, since AI cannot handle edge cases such as humans intentionally crashing into them.

Already contradicted when stated and since: Waymo has run fully driverless (no safety driver) commercial robotaxis since 2020 and by mid-2026 operated ~3,500 vehicles in 11+ US cities with ~500,000 paid rides/week, adding Las Vegas, Miami and others in 2026 (geofenced Level 4, not universal Level 5).

How calls are found and checked

Each transcript was read in full by an AI model to pull out predictions, with the exact quote and timestamp. Each one was then checked with web search against events up to the update date, with sources linked.

How the hit rate works

Spot a mistake? Report it. Hit rate = (came true + ½ partly) ÷ resolved calls. Claims that were already underway when he made them are left out. Open calls haven't reached a verdict; Unresolvable ones are too vague ever to check. Verdicts are AI-assisted and may contain errors.
