Scott Adams the creator of Dilbert seems to think Trump is a genius clown and that is why he is so difficult to take down. He blogs a lot about Trump.

"On the surface, and several layers deep as well, Trump appears to be a narcissistic blow-hard with inadequate credentials to lead a country.
The only problem with my analysis is that there is an eerie consistency to his success so far. Is there a method to it? Is there some sort of system at work under the hood?
Probably yes. Allow me to describe some of the hypnosis and persuasion methods Mr. Trump has employed on you. (Most of you know I am a trained hypnotist and this topic is a hobby of mine.)
For starters, Trump literally wrote the book on negotiating, called The Art of the Deal. So we know he is familiar with the finer points of persuasion. For our purposes today, persuasion, hypnosis, and negotiating all share a common set of tools, so I will conflate them.
Would Trump use his negotiation and persuasion skills in the campaign? Of course he would. And we expect him to do just that.
But where is the smoking gun of his persuasion? Where is his technique laid out for us to see.
Everywhere. "

You might also enjoy The Persuasion Reading List that I put together on request. These are the books that explain how I noticed Trumps persuasion skills so early. He is a natural, but also well-trained in the science of persuasion. None of his campaign success so far is an accident.
My book is on that list, or you can see it here."

(6,444 posts)Pretty annoying. New article is how Trump is using the word "stamina" about HRC! to cause confirmation bias.
S.A. finds this genius:
"Confirmation bias is what makes you see any kind of evidence as supporting your point of view. Once Trump puts in our heads the idea that Clinton might have some stamina (health) issues, thats all we will see in the evidence, even if it doesnt exist."
Trump is older than HRC. He is going to be 70 yo this year. (born June 14, 1946)
