My predictions:For America:- Mueller will come up with indictments against Kushner and Donny Jr.; Trump will pardon them. After that, his approval rating drops to 30%.
- Rex Tillerson will be out
- No major legislation will get passed
- Democrats narrowly win the House back, the senate remains under Republican control with Democrats gaining Arizona and Nevada while losing Montana and Missouri. Cruz beats Beto 51-46%.
- Democrats will gain governorships in Maryland, Nevada, Michigan, New Mexico and Illinois. In Florida, Adam Putnam beats Gwen Graham razor thin with 49-48%. Republicans win the governor's seat in Connecticut. Charlie Baker wins reelection with 59% of the vote.
- Tulsi Gabbard will be the first person to declare her candidacy for president sometime in December 2018.
- Trump then de-facto abandons governing and starts rallies on a weekly basis after the midterms for his reelection.
For Germany:- Grand coalition narrowly fails by a vote for the SPD base, new elections in April. After that, Merkel will form a coalition with the Greens.
World events:- Theresa May will get ousted by her party, Boris Johnson will be PM, new elections in early 2019
- A major disaster in Asia following an earthquake
- Major terror attack in Russia
- Assad will delcare final victory in the Syrian civil war
- Civil war in Venezuela breaks out after Maduro rigged the election
Notable deaths:- Henry Kissinger
- Queen Elizabeth
- Michael Dukakis
- George HW Bush
- Clint Eastwood
- Chuck Grassley
- Walter Mondale
- John McCain
- Democrats decisively win back the House, but not the Senate
- At least three Cabinet Secretaries leave their jobs by the end of the year, at least one of them due to the new developments in Russiagate
- Kissinger dies, igniting Atlas flamewars not seen since the passing of Margaret Thatcher
- There are a few major terrorist attacks in the US, both by Islamists and domestic political extremists
- Luigi De Maio becomes the Prime Minister of Italy after a surprisingly decisive win for Forza Italia in the general election, and American Trumpites hail it as a sign of a 2018 landslide because of course they do
- I don’t write a screenplay
- Brockhampton becomes the new big thing in music
- The Disaster Artists wins at least one Oscar
- I throw up on New Year’s again! (awkward laugh track)
LOL, I thought that as well (see above). That was actually my first answer on new year's eve when a friend asked me "which famous person do you think will pass away coming 2018?"
