What's PM hoped for too stupidly? I predict trouble! (7,2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prophet of doom

'i predict trouble' is the definition.
(someone predicting doom)

'what's pm hoped for too stupidly?' is the wordplay.
'pm hoped for too' can be anagrammed to 'PROPHET OF DOOM'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

(Other definitions for prophet of doom that I've seen before include "Person continually predicting disaster" , "Jeremiah" , "Eg, Cassandra" , "Disaster foreteller" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
