Man who 'predicted' Trump, Modi victories celebrates birthday today

French physician and seer Michel de Nostradamus was born this day in 1503 in the town of Provence in France. He is known to the whole world as a man who has predicted many of the world's historic moments from the victory of Donald Trump as a US President to Narendra Modi rising to power as India's PM. Other than that, here are his predictions in detail with the lines from his work that depict the prediction.
Donald Trump's presidency
In 2016's biggest surprise yet, Trump both described as shameless and audacious has been elected President and also Chief of Staff of the Army. The last line on the quatrain also predicted a city that is both on the rise because of fear.
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
Narendra Modi
This information was released by India's Union of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju. It predicts Modi's coming to power in the exact year he became elected and the attitudes of people towards his rule.
From 2014 to 2026, a man will lead India,
whom initially people will hate but after that
people will love him so much that he
will be engaged in changing the country's plight and direction.
Adolf Hitler
In Nostradamus' works he mentions of three despots - people who are known for their evil deeds which have brought humanity near the brink of extinction. One of these despots is supposedly Hitler whom Nostradamus even mentions by name - missing only by a single letter.
Beasts ferocious with hunger will cross the rivers,
The greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister.
Into a cage of iron will the great one be drawn,
When the child of Germany observes nothing.
Atomic bombings of Japan
The catastrophic discovery nuclear technology led to disastrous outcomes as seen in the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Nostradamus also foretold of these disasters.
"Near the gates and within the cities
there will be two scourges the like of which was never seen,
famine within plague, people put out by steel,
crying to the great immortal God for relief."
9/11 Terror Attacks
An event that shook the world to its very foundations, the New City in the lines are New York and the two great rocks are the World Trade Centre Towers. The terror attacks changed the way the world works by introducing stricter policies in airports and leaders keeping a close guard at ensuring their territories are safeguarded from terrorism.
Volcanic fire from the center of the earth
will cause trembling around the New City:
Two great rocks will make war for a long time.
Then Arethusa will redden a new river.
