The textbook solution just says that there is a predicate which satisfies those conditions. Wouldn't this be false since if the base case doesn't hold then by induction principle its false? Is there an example where $P(1)$ is False, and $(\forall k\geq 1)(P(k)\implies P(k+1))$ is True?

Whats an example of a predicate where if $P(1)$ is False, and $(\forall k\geq 1)(P(k)\implies P(k+1))$ is True for all natural numbers

Try $$k>42$$ or try $$ k^3-k+1 \text{ is a multiple of }3$$ or try $$ \text{There exists an even $m$ with $2<m<k$ that is not the sum of two primes}.$$
