Trump’s border wall ‘is never going to happen’, says Mexican psychic
- However, Antonio Vazquez’s predictions have been hit and miss in the past, including his certainty Donald Trump would not make it past the Republican primaries
Brace yourselves, America: the US government shutdown that has dragged on for two weeks could last a lot longer – possibly forever – if a Mexican psychic’s predictions come true.
As Donald Trump said on Friday, he was prepared to keep the partial shutdown going for as long as it takes to get funding for his border wall.
Antonio Vazquez – better known as “The Grand Warlock” – said in his annual predictions on the year ahead that the US president would not get funding for the wall in 2019, or ever.
Hovering over his tarot cards and holding a microphone to his flowing white beard, Vazquez said of Trump: “He’s not going to get [the money]. On Tuesday or Wednesday there will be a very grave problem arising from this wall foolishness. That wall will never be built.”
The offbeat prognostication came on the same day Trump said he “will do whatever we have to do” – including maintain the shutdown for “a very long period of time” – to get Congress to approve the US$5.6 billion he is demanding to build a barrier on the US-Mexico border.
