Have been searching for this clip for quite awhile, and think it explains trumps speaking nuances perfectly!

***As far as his (Scott Adams) political affiliation, this op was merely insight into the speech pattern of trump, not insight into anything else.....

1. This is from pre-election, yeah?

[Heartstrings]

2. I think so, or shortly thereafter....

The exact date is eluding me...sorry!

5. It was from May 29, 2016

Lots of the art I like, is made by people with weird ideas. One of the best old Danish authors is Martin Andersen Nexø. He liked Stalin, but wrote books full of softness, forgiveness and heart. Well - Nexø is on a whole other level than the joke writer Scott Adams, but I still enjoy Dilbert.

3. ***HE ENDORSED TRUMP***

That is the context of whatever his views are about Trump's speech pattern. He encouraged people to vote for the monster.

4. He is a far-RW Trump fanatic

6. Yeah, Adams is a selfish douche.

But he's sort of right about Trump's delivery. He was playing to his crowd and it worked.

Of course, now trump is raving lunatic in over his head.

7. Hitler was supposedly trained by a hypnotist too!

8. Interesting, but that only works if you're predisposed to agree with him in the 1st place.

His nicknames for people have the opposite effect on me.

So I'm not buying into this as persuasion. I think it's more getting his supporters more revved up. Slogans are easy to say and chant. But a slogan, like Lyin' Comey, wouldn't work on people who are digesting what's in his book, are objective, etc. Only the deplorables, who are already on board and are not terribly bright, fall for that. I recognized what they were: easy to say slogans to get his supporters revved up. Not persuasion, though.

11. He was right about confirmation bias, tho

He really is the logical progression of the Republican anti-fact mentality. Trump didn't just catch on in a vacuum, his dumber than thou following was the end game goal of two generations of Republican dishonest campaigning

12. Makes sense. It wasn't a big leap. The Repubs created a monster. nt

9. You're some kind of sage if you divine Trump has an appeal to morons ?

[Bucky]

10. I just can't get past the view that anyone persuaded by Trump's style...

is a bit screwed up in the head to begin with.
