If you thought the Left’s 2016 meltdown over Donald Trump was bad, just wait until 2024. Political journalist Mark Halperin told Tucker Carlson that a Trump win in the upcoming election could cause “the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country.” And yes, he’s dead serious.
Halperin believes a Trump victory would send millions of leftists spiraling into trauma, unable to process how their fellow citizens could re-elect him.
At a glance:
- Halperin predicts a massive mental health crisis if Trump wins the 2024 election.
- Millions of leftists would be unable to cope with the results, leading to workplace chaos and violence.
- Trump’s 2024 win wouldn’t be dismissed as a fluke like in 2016, making the reaction far worse.
According to Halperin, Democrats were able to dismiss Trump’s 2016 win as a fluke due to FBI Director James Comey’s investigation of Hillary Clinton. But in 2024, if Trump wins fair and square, it will be a devastating blow to millions of liberals. Halperin even suggests that this breakdown could lead to violence—everything from workplace fights to violent protests.

Carlson, clearly stunned, asked Halperin if he was serious, to which Halperin replied with a firm, “a hundred percent serious.” He went on to predict a wave of alcoholism, broken marriages, and emotional breakdowns as left-wing Americans struggle to come to terms with a Trump win.
Carlson noted that mental health crises often lead to violence, a point Halperin agreed with. He believes the backlash would be so intense, it would feel like “the death of a child” for many Democrats—a trauma too great for even the most mentally healthy to handle.
Halperin’s prediction is extreme, but not entirely far-fetched. After all, the reaction to Trump’s 2016 win was fierce, and the stakes seem even higher now. Whether or not we see tens of millions in a meltdown remains to be seen, but if Trump wins again, the Left is in for another rough ride.
