Nostradamus Prophet or fraud?

Napoleon and Hitler, the bombing of Hiroshima, the attack on the World Trade Center. In 1555, the prophet Nostradamus predicted these events. Or so his followers want to believe…
PROPHECY 8:01 – Napoleon's victory
The new ruler was born under the sign of the lion and has no royal blood. The people will love it, but it will not go down well with the Popes (in fact Napoleon defeated them in the campaign against Italy in 1796 and a year later, his army took Pope Pius VI prisoner).
Napoleon himself liked to believe the prophecy. But the truth is that Pau, Nay and Loron mentioned by Nostradamus are places in France (and not Napoleon's name). Pampon and Durance are French rivers. In many countries, they have been replaced with "France", to match the "prophecy".
Prophecy 2:24 – The coming of Hitler
The name Hister appears 5 times in the book of Nostradamus and is interpreted as Hitler, and the prediction is interpreted as that of the beginning of the Second War. The beasts - Hitler's tanks - will cross the rivers around Germany and Hitler will seize the lands with an iron fist.
However, "Hister" has nothing to do with the German dictator. It is an old name of the Danube, which together with the Rhine formed the northeastern border of the Roman Empire. When he wrote this prophecy, Nostradamus probably had in mind the Germanic tribes in northern Europe, as he was inspired by the Roman Empire.
Prophecy 2:91 – Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
"At dawn a great fire will be seen...". This prophecy is seen as a warning of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The great fire is the mushroom cloud, whose light extends to the north. Those who did not die in the explosion, would die of hunger and fire.
But like many of Nostradamus' other prophecies, he may have been talking about many other battles and disasters that have occurred.
Prophecy 2:62 – Saddam Hussein and the end of the world
"Mabus will soon die..." Many interpret it as a prophecy about Saddam Hussein and the Iraq war. They see Mabus as an anagram of Saddam. Who believes it they say he wrote Mabus (Subam backwards) instead of Maddas (Saddam backwards).
But if Nostradamus used incorrect names and anagrams at the same time, then the possibilities of interpretation are endless. Others have seen this prophecy as doomsday, when Halley's Comet appears. But as you know, the world did not end in 1986...
Prophecy 10:72 – The end of the world in 1999
"The year 1999, the seventh month... / From the heavens will come a King / To bring to life the King of the Mongols" / That after Mars may reign with luck"
The year is clear, but what will happen is unknown. Some said it predicted the end of the world. There are actually errors in the translation. Nostradamus wrote "King of Angolmois" and not "Great King of the Mongols".
His prophecy was probably inspired by the accounts of the king of Angoumois, Francois I. In 1525 he was captured by the German-Spanish king, Charles V, who was also the Holy Roman Emperor, i.e. the King of Heaven. Francois was released in March 1526…
Prophecy 1:26 – Death of John F. Kennedy
"The great man will be struck in the middle of the day by lightning... / An evil deed foretold by a soothsayer / another will fall at night..."
This is believed to foretell the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which was struck in broad daylight. Earlier a soothsayer had warned him not to go to Dallas. His brother, Bob Kennedy was assassinated late at night in 1968.
But the soothsayer had also spoken of other bad events which never happened so he was not reliable. Likewise, Nostradamus speaks of "diseases of Tuscany" in this warning, and believers cannot explain this.
