Moo Deng predicts Donald Trump will win 2024 US presidential election
The viral pygmy hippo Moo Deng has taken on the fortune teller role ahead of the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election results. In a video that has since gone viral, the internet sensation is baited into choosing between two fruit baskets, each with the names of two candidates in Thai — Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The clip opens with a zookeeper taking the baskets on a tray to Moo Deng and his mother’s den.
The zookeeper places the fruit baskets at opposite ends before calling Moo Deng to predict the winner. The viral pygmy hippo takes some time to process before heading towards one of the baskets and Moo Deng then chooses the basket with Donald Trump‘s name, predicting the former president’s second term. This activity took place at the hippo’s residence in Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Si Racha, Thailand.
According to the New York Times‘s Nate Cohn, the polls show “one of the closest presidential races in the history of American politics.” Kamala Harris currently leads by one percentage point over Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Moo Deng’s prediction has gone viral owing to the hippo’s popularity. Fans flooded the comments section, with one user cheering for her “prediction debut era.”
Moo Deng has attracted significant attention from all over the world. The pygmy hippo has been inspiring fashion and beauty enthusiasts to nail her moisturized and blush look. Furthermore, she has also created waves in the food industry, with chefs creating Moo Deng cakes, cupcakes, and more. This fame coupled with the hippo’s cute and chaotic antics has only charmed thousands of people to the zoo daily.
