Conspiracy theorists are convinced Nostradamus predicted Donald Trump's stunning victory in the presidential election.
If so, it means the 16th century oracle did better than most of the modern-day pollsters.
The Sun newspaper in Great Britain reported Nostradamus had written: "The great shameless, audacious bawler. He will be elected governor of the army: The boldness of his contention.
"The bridge broken, the city faint from fear."
Now some are convinced the "shameless, audacious bawler" Nostradamus referred to is, in fact, Trump and his in-your-face style of campaigning, according to the newspaper. And "governor of the army" is interpreted as Trump’s role as commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces.
But they don't stop there with their speculation.
Another of Nostradamus' predictions, according to the newspaper, reads: "The false trumpet concealing madness will cause Byzantium to change its laws."
Some, the paper pointed, believe the "false trumpet" is Trump and Byzantium – an ancient Greek colony – refers to the influx of refugees coming through Greece.
But there's even one bizarre theory some are pointing to, The Sun reported. Some are questioning whether Trump is the "third antichrist" Nostradamus referred to who will be responsible for bringing about the Apocalypse.
