"Donald Trump has people worried, because he's so unpredictable," Trevor Noah said on Tuesday's Daily Show. "No one has a clue what he's going to do next — Republicans, Democrats, nobody."

The premise of his soothsaying is that President Trump's pre-presidential tweets are a flawless predictor of what he will do in office — if he once criticized a certain predecessor for playing golf, for example, Trump will spend unprecedented amounts of time on the greens himself.
