I would flip it the other way and say he predicted the mainstream media's need to discredit his use of social media since social media is threatening their position as the dominate communication channel with the masses. Trump lies, but I have seen very little evidence that he lies more than any previous president. The things he lies about are precisely the "Great Leader" style attempts to improve his image. To me, that is much preferable to lying in order to push us into another Middle East war.
