I think there will be enough Alt-Right craziness in there that Jones will be happy. Remember, other than whomever has been on the throne, he doesn't have enemies. He is against imaginary foes like the UN invading force and the FEMA death camp administrators. He'll do battle against "The Obama" because there's little chance of the POTUS actually lowering himself to respond. He ain't messing with the Backwards Mafia (Sessions, Coulter, Bannon, Mercer, Bossie). And all of those people will be, in one form or another, in the administration.

Re-reading the thread, I have to give a few points to Hans here:
Will They Kill Trump Before Inauguration? |

Or perhaps Jones has an ounce of sense. At the moment he is hyping "black guys beat up Trump supporter" videos, and the like.
When the Trump University case is due to hit a court room, Jones has two ways he can spin it: 1) It doesn't reach the courtroom. "Oh my God! We supported this guy! We believed in him and he was playing us! He was our one hope against the demons, but this was his reason for running! To worm out of a court case? How can we trust him again!" 2) If it does hit a courtroom. "Oh my God! Look at all this controversy I had no idea about! He was thief and a liar? I am so betrayed! How can we trust him again?" |

Not at all. His third option is to talk about the liberal judicial bias and declare Trump as an honest entrepreneur who was merely trying to make a living, only to be prosecuted by a cabal of international bankers, feminazis and world government supporters.
In fact, I think that's the far more likely option. He ain't getting off the Trump horse so early. |

In today's update, AJ is still cheer leading for Trump, claiming:

I reckon some time in March 2017. Unless there's a mass shooting in which case I think Alex's finger will get twitchy and he'll just put out the usual false flag story from habit.

Not until 2018 and then only if the republicans get creamed in the mid terms. I would not be surprised if trump appeared on Jones show after January 20, 2017.
FYI, just saw this.

January 22, 2017.
This is weather permitting of course. Inauguration is Friday the 20th. Alex Jones will walk outside on Saturday the 21st, look up into the sky and see that the government is still chemtrailing mind control agents into the atmosphere. Alex will get on the air Sunday the 22nd and attack Trump for trying to turn the population gay. |

In today's Infowars Trump Watch, they write in a somewhat approving manner of Trump and Putin getting friendly in a phone conversation:
Quote:
However, in their report "Breaking: Priebus and Bannon Named to Key Positions On Trump Staff Trump: Priebus and Bannon will be “equal partners"" we hear someone who claims to have talked to Alex about these appointments. The whole report seems kind of wishy-washy as to if they like this or not, but if you jump to about 2:15 in the video, you the fellow reports that AJ said, "If Trump starts moving to the other side, we're going to come out against him", but that AJ "Doesn't think that's going to happen," and urges people to wait until January 20th to start worrying. So it appears he's starting to lay the groundwork even earlier than any of us expected, but the big payoff is still to come. |

An observation. I unfortunately had to speak to a relative (by marriage) on a family matter and this fellow is a complete nut. He made however one coherent comment which might reflect on Jones & Trump.
My relatives view was that Trump was glorious, honest, etc., but like any historic king he is going to be led astray by evil advisers. It might be possible that Jones will follow that path...that Trump is really against the NWO but the NWO has gotten to nearly all his family and advisors and if it appears he is not out to stop the NWO it is because of said advisers. So Trump on a pedestal and go full bore against his advisors. |

That's a possibility, but I don't think it will play out that way. As you said, this notion of a King held in check by bad advice is well-known, and if Jones was likely to go that way, he'd have started in on it months ago. Instead, he went all in on Trump being the Savior (because I don't think even Jones thought he would actually win). Now, if it turns out Trump can't even mange his own hand-selected cabinet, it makes both Trump and Jones look like fools for ever thinking it was possible for Trump to succeed as President. It makes Jones look better if, instead of stupidly thinking the past would not repeat itself, he was betrayed by the Evil Trump, who even dared to lie to Alex Jones. Jones gets to play the betrayed martyr instead of the gullible fool. |

Put me down for mid-December. The Treasury pick will likely be the catalyst, any one of a number of Wall St types.

My prediction: Between 1 year and 2 years.
1 year because Jones needs time to people to forget he supported Trump, and for the new-government smell to wear off, and for various federal and global events to occur that Trump would need to respond to. 2 years maximum because that's when the next mid-terms are, and it might provide fodder for Jone's anti-government paranoia. |

With Treasury candidate come possible conflicts
A leading candidate to be *President-elect Donald Trump’s treasury secretary was deeply involved in running a bank that has received $900 million in federal bailout money and that has been accused of discrimination — examples of the potentially thorny conflicts of interest that could plague Trump’s nascent administration. Steven T. Mnuchin was the finance chairman for Trump’s campaign, and three people close to the presidential transition team said that at the moment he is among the most likely candidates to helm Treasury. Mnuchin, a Goldman Sachs veteran, made his name as a private investor when he led the 2009 purchase of failed subprime mortgage lender IndyMac, the California bank whose long lines of customers waiting to withdraw their money became an enduring image of the financial crisis. Central to the deal was a promise by federal regulators to cover a significant share of the bank’s losses — a guarantee that lasts through 2019. In addition, the bank — later renamed OneWest — has repeatedly faced criticism over its attempts to foreclose on homeowners who were in the process of modifying their loans, among other practices. On Thursday, an advocacy group filed a complaint with the Department of Housing and Urban Development accusing the bank of locating branches in predominantly white neighborhoods while avoiding minority communities, including two years in which only two black borrowers received home loans across six counties. “If you look at the story of IndyMac and OneWest, it’s a story of hardship, foreclosure and pain for working communities, and a story of profit for investors,” said Kevin Stein, deputy director of the California Reinvestment Coalition, the umbrella organization representing more than 300 community groups that filed the complaint. Mnuchin’s long involvement with the bank could raise questions about his ability to lead an agency at the forefront of the government’s oversight of the financial industry. OneWest was purchased last year by the financial firm CIT, which is partially overseen by Treasury. It has been named a “systemically important” financial institution — often informally called “too big to fail” — worthy of additional scrutiny because of the risk it poses to the economy in a crisis. Mnuchin is on CIT’s board of directors and owns $100 million in company stock, according to compensation research firm Equilar. “Whenever you have someone coming from the financial sector, you’re going to see issues, especially post-bailout,” said Jordan Libowitz, communications director at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Mnuchin is one of several Cabinet candidates and members of Trump’s transition team whose close ties to the industries is drawing criticism from some lawmakers. Oil industry magnate Harold Hamm is under consideration for energy secretary. The list of financiers advising Trump includes Anthony Scaramucci, Steve Feinberg and John Paulson, who was one of Mnuchin’s partners in the deal to buy IndyMac. Former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, whose consulting company has had extensive contracts with foreign governments, could be the next secretary of state. Other widely discussed candidates for treasury secretary, including JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon and private equity financier Wilbur Ross, might face conflicts of their own. A spokesman for Mnuchin declined to comment. But a person close to him, speaking on the condition of anonymity because his employer does not allow him to talk on the record, said that while at the bank, Mnuchin’s “entire mission was to save people’s homes.” CIT said in a statement that it “is committed to fair-lending and works hard to meet the credit needs of all communities and neighborhoods we serve.” The purchase of IndyMac is just one of the many complex deals that Mnuchin has struck over his decades in the upper echelons of finance. He spent 17 years at Goldman Sachs before leaving to join an investment fund set up by hedge fund investor — and prominent Democrat — George Soros. Mnuchin helped back the construction of Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago — and was later sued by Trump in an effort to secure more favorable terms. And after moving to California to take control of IndyMac, Mnuchin reinvented himself as a film producer and financier, putting out blockbusters such as “Avatar” and “Suicide Squad.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...mepage%2Fstory Mnuchin once partnered with George Soros. That's not going to go over well with Jones fans. |

I'll predict near the end of Trump's second term, at that point, Jones himself will run and probably win.

In today's updates, Alex Jones and his various minions are still pro-Trump, but are also still setting up excuses for turning anti-Trump.
Is Trump Outsmarting The Neocons With His Latest Moves? Is Trump keeping neocons close so they don't rebel? Oh, and if you can stomach it, watch that video, because now we have a new contender for the betting pool:
Is it too soon to say "I called it!!!"? |

I can't really make a timeframe prediction. I think it will happen eventually; but it could be a few years. Right now, Alex Jones' audience is 100% Trump supporters and he has to know that in hitching his wagon to Trump, he has surrendered a good deal of command of that audience. If he wants to keep that audience, he will have to toe the line.
I predict that Alex Jones will not "turn" on Trump until a very large segment of Trump's own support base turns on him. Given that base's proven devotion to excusing any of Trump's mis-steps or reversals no matter how large and even while attacking other people for doing the exact same things, it could be quite a while before a critical mass of disillusioned supporters is reached. I'm confident it will happen - but it could be quite a while indeed. |
