It would appear Glenn Beck has come over to the dark side. Or rather, the Trump side.
Beck, who has been very vocal of his opposition to the idea of a President Trump and adamantly supported Senator Ted Cruz throughout the campaign, is offering this prediction – “Donald Trump is going to be the next president of the United States.”
Beck made his prognostication during his radio program on Wednesday, saying “I believe Donald Trump will beat Hillary Clinton.”
It wasn’t exactly a ringing endorsement, though, since Beck also believes that Hillary is so fatally flawed as a candidate that his shoe or a rock could also beat her.
Via the Daily Caller:
Former Ted Cruz supporter and Cheeto enthusiast Glenn Beck predicted Wednesday that “Donald Trump is going to be the next president of the United States.”
On his radio show on Wednesday, Beck said, “I believe Donald Trump will beat Hillary Clinton. And here’s why: The — Hillary Clinton is such a flawed candidate. I’ve said this for a long time. My shoe would beat Hillary Clinton, right? Anything — a rock will beat Hillary Clinton.”
Earlier this month, Beck predicted that Clinton would win, although he added the caveat that he’s “been wrong this entire election.”
Beck began the Wednesday segment saying, “Hello, America. I’m going to make a prediction about Donald Trump. I could say he’s going to be the nominee of the Republican Party. But I think that’s obviously a foregone conclusion. Here’s my prediction, and I stand by it: Donald Trump is going to be the next president of the United States.”
One has to be concerned with Beck’s emotional state after making such a prediction. The Tea Party radio icon recently uncorked a comment that seemed to suggest he was really, really upset about Trump’s success.
In analyzing a debate, Beck said that if he were on stage he might have considered stabbing Trump with a knife.
“If I was close enough and had a knife, the stabbing just wouldn’t stop,” he added.
Beck also claimed that Trump’s “laying to the lowest common denominator and to the anger in us” was comparable to Hitler.
