Old Moore's Almanac predicted Donald Trump assassination attempt and has new Biden warning

A magazine preserving the memory of an Irish-born man may have predicted the assassination attempts of former US President and current US Presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Trump was speaking at an event in Pennsylvania on Saturday when a man, who has been named as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, shot at him from a nearby rooftop.

A bullet grazed the ear of the controversial Republican candidate, prompting secret service agents to rush the stage and remove him from the scene quickly. A stray bullet hit and killed a former firefighter who was in the crowd at the rally. 

In an eerie turn, the event may have been predicted by Old Moore's Almanac, a publication inspired by Co Offaly born Theophilus Moore, a wizard of astrology who was known as the Irish Merlin.

At the beginning of the year, the 260-year-old magazine predicted "a severe health warning for Trump, also an assassination warning."

Old Moore’s Almanac is 260 years old in 2024. It is one of the oldest almanacs in the world and still has the same green cover it has had for decades. It is the first and original, and Irish. Some editions over 250 years old still sit in the Long Room Library in Trinity, next to the Bibles!

Current publishers use old writings of Old Moore to make a series of predictions every year. For 2024, it also predicted "a swing to conservative governments across Europe" as well as Joe Biden "succumbing to serious health issues."

The latter looks like it may also happen with pressure now mounting on the 81-year-old US President to remove himself from the race for the White House later this year due to health reasons.
