Ah, Donald J. Trump. Once a respected businessman who knew how to handle a corporate shit storm and come out on top, he is today both the laughing stock of international politics and well on his way to becoming the 45th American President.
As news comes of his latest clean sweep from the Michigan and Mississippi elections, the influence and power of Trump is becoming evident. New findings from the Primary Model, a statistical analysis model designed by Stony Brook University's political science professor Helmut Norpoth, predicts that the outspoken billionaire will have an 87 percent chance of beating Hilary Clinton and 99 percent chance of ousting Bernie Sanders in the November elections.
The Primary Model has correctly predicted the past five U.S elections since its introduction in 1996.
Scared yet? Wait until you read some of the most outlandish statements Donald Trump has made to date.
