        Trump Called Out Using His Own Past Tweet After He Tried To Blame The Economy On Biden
    
Scott Adams, in addition to achieving fame as the creator of the comic strip Dilbert, has spent the last few years crafting a new facet of his public image: a Trump supporter who spews misinformation on the internet. 
In 2016, Adams publicly backed Trump's bid for presidency. In addition, he laid into Trump's 2016 opposer, Hillary Clinton, claiming she had stoked "violence against police, violence against Trump supporters, and death threats to bloggers such as me."
Those views apparently held firm all the way through Trump's presidency. And a year ago, on July 1, 2020, Adams tweeted an ominous warning to all Republicans. 
With the Biden vs. Trump Presidential campaign in full swing at the time, Adams attempted to predict the horrors that would await members of the GOP if Biden, a Democrat, was elected in the fall. 
We're just shy of halfway through Biden's first year as President. There have been no reports of Republicans being hunted and/or killed. 
Instead, as RawStory pointed out, Biden has made a clear effort to work with people from across the aisle to hammer out solutions for vaccination rates, infrastructure policy, and economic relief. 
The absurdity of Adams' incorrect prediction was not lost on Twitter users who saw his post from last year. 
Are we dead yet Scott?  Dramatic princess

Scott! Scott! I'm from the alternative timeline where you were right! The economy is crashing, no one is vaccinated, global warming has switched to global cooling, and all the fossil fuel companies were woked into oblivion! We're having to stay warm by burning old Dilbert strips!

Still alive and well buddy. Will check back in on Jan 20, 2022.\n\nOne would think, at your age, you would do something to redeem yourself. There is still time. Do some reflection and go for it.

Please expand on how we will be dead within a year if Biden is elected.  Biden was VP for 8 years and we all lived through it.\n\nYours is the dumbest tweet on my feed today.

Of course, there is still time for Adams' tweet to come true. 
But with absolutely zero signs of Democrat-lead Republican roundups, hunts and killings thus far, that feels rather unlikely.

	Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was swiftly fact-checked after he claimed in a post on X that he'd ended the "woke" Women, Peace & Security (WPS) program because it was an initiative created by the Biden administration.

	For the political right, "wokeness" or "wokeism" generally refers to a left-leaning perspective that acknowledges the widespread existence of racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination in American society.

President Donald Trump was called out after he made a petty dig at pop star Taylor Swift during his speech for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' visit to the White House.
In a brief speech, Trump acknowledged the Eagles' 40–22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was “a little surprising,” a remark that appeared to reference the Chiefs' consecutive Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. He then shifted focus to Swift, getting in a petty swipe drawing attention to Swift's presence at the game to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the losing team.
