Why Trump Will Win the Presidency - and It is Absolutely Brilliant!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Donald Trump has a way with words—and with people. Yet despite his popularity, he has been a mystery to the media, which have mostly derided his campaign as consisting of nothing more than random insults and ignorant bluster.

Scott Adams, prolific author, blogger, and creator of the massively popular comic strip Dilbert, has a different theory. He tells Reason TV’s Zach Weissmueller that the media are being trolled by a skilled manipulator, or in Adams’s parlance, a Master Wizard. So exquisite does Adams believe Trump’s skills to be that he predicts The Donald will go on to win the presidency.

“What I [see] in Trump,” says Adams, is “someone who was highly trained. A lot of the things that the media were reporting as sort of random insults and bluster and just Trump being Trump, looked to me like a lot of deep technique that I recognized from the fields of hypnosis and persuasion.”

Dilbert Creator Scott Adams on Donald Trump’s “Linguistic Kill Shots”

 

One such technique is what Adams describes as a “linguistic kill shot,” in which Trump uses an engineered set of words that changes or ends an argument decisively. According to Adams, when Trump describes Jeb Bush as low energy, Carly Fiorina as robotic, or Ben Carson as nice, he’s imprinting a label you already feel about these people. They’re not random insults, but linguistic kill shots that you can never get out of your mind.

Similarly, where the media see random insults, Adams sees Trump creating a significant polling gap between those who attack him and those who compliment him, resulting in chilled aggression from his opponents. Trump, says Adams, uses “anchors,” which are big, visual thoughts that drown out any other argument. Think, for example, of the billionaire’s florid descriptions of a Mexican border wall.

Adams also describes Trump’s use of “linguistic Judo,” vagueness, and a carefully developed persona to defend himself against attack and promote the image he desires. “You see apple pie and flags and eagles coming out of his ass when he talks,” says Adams.

      I am relatively pleased to read this. JEB Bush is a member of the Bush crime family to when Prescott Bush should have been tried for treason for trading with the enemy in 1942. Union Bank profits where confiscated
      by the Roosevelt administration only. Hillary and Bill Clinton need to be prosecuted for their many crimes and the murders conducted for them. Bill Clinton should have prosecuted these men but he was too busy working with the Bush’s CIA drug trafficking into the Mena, Arkansas airport.

        …Bible believers know that Trump is much closer to the scriptural description of the Antichrist than anybody else in public view….full of hope and prosperity promises and security promises. But he wouldn’t have the path to the Throne laid out for him without Obama’s ineptitude and extremism. Obama fits the mold of a ‘religious fanatic’. Trump is a perfect foil to that image.

      I’m the second cousin of the aristocrat Pontine Paus, the famous stylist of bags who’s related to playwright Henrik Ibsen and to author Leon Tolstoy. Pontine’s mother is my mother’s first cousin. I’m announcing that Obama’s the Antichrist and I’m the Messiah.

      Peace Scotty. You could try removing them, putting ads in the extra space on the site as long as its not excessive, or find another source of income and pay for the site with that.

      Donald Trump must not push Congress, after he becomes President, to indict Obama. This scenario does not fit well into an overall plan and scheme. That would also set a bad lawful and legal precedent any way.

      The US Military must impeach Barack Obama in a marginally Constitutionally proper means, despite it resulting in a military coup e’tat. This must be accomplished too close to the fall election, for Biden to declare his candidacy for the presidency. The trial of Hillary Clinton must drag on into September with no good possibility that she will be convicted until late in the summer when all HELL breaks loose because Obama’s AG Loretta Lynch is forced to resign. Lynch refuses to indict Hillary, but Hillary is indicted and convicted. The economic collapse will definitely play a big part in Obummer’s removal. JUBILEE, a world wide debt cancellation is coming to a planet near you by the Creator’s will and compassion.

      For the democrats’ and Biden’s sake, Obummer should declare no election will be held in November 2016 and do so soon. This to facilitate Obummer’s impeachment by Congress or the military and to push for Biden to declare his candidacy for election as president, after Obummer’s early removal. To save demos, Biden must pardon all criminals including Barack H Obama and bribe taking Congress men and women. The only punishment for bribes taking criminals will be that their careers are over. This must not happen.

      When everyone talks about impeaching Obama I’m baffled because they give Bush and Cheney a PASS???!!…
      Cheney’s Chief of Staff got convicted on multiple felonies and that Admin. broke Fed. laws, treaties, UN charter,
      common sense, etc. for 8 years running??…

      I think a lot of uneducated people believe Impeachment exists to voice your policy or political opposition to a leader in the U.S. executive branch. Actually, it’s supposed to be an objective application of the Rule of Law to check illegal activity and empirical treason.

      There’s no way you can fantasize about prosecuting Obama under articles of Impeachment and completely ignore the far worse violations by the Bush Administration. That’s preposterous. :roll:

      • Jack Shlitz

        Don’t think ANYONE would argue about Bush. He’s not the antichrist but what he is is a son of a b!tch…

      • Jack Shlitz

        Love him or hate him, TRUMP is a genius. Adams is dead on. I never liked the guy before his run for the presidency; thought he was a blow hard dumb ass. Now, he’s the only answer. Everyone hates our leadership and rightfully so. They can’t find their a$$ with a map & a 20 minute head start. Go TRUMP!!!

    • wiseoldlady

      If the masses are gullible enough to not see thru Trump then yes he will probably be elected. But for those of us with eyes to see… We have another liberal, Trump that has flip flopped more than you can count. He is presently constructing a $160 million hotel in Chicago with NWO George Soros. That tells you everything right there. They ALL do FAVORS for each other. Soros will have his fingers in a Trump presidency just as he has ruled Obama’s presidency. NOT GOOD. How many other NWO Zionists will Trump bring into his ball park. Don’t trust him….a sure fire brown nose.

      TED CRUZ, in spite of all the stinking lies the main stream libs have pushed, is the ONLY sure bet for an honorable presidency. Cruz has few friends because he will NOT bow down and brown nose anyone. His ethics and solid Constitutional stance would definitely salvage this country. Cruz is the very best. His track record outstanding. Yes he makes mistakes just like ALL people…. no human is perfect. But some are superior and Cruz is one of them. Cruz will add amendments to the Constitution to protect us AND RETURN US TO A GREAT COUNTRY. Trump will lead us into a prosperous NWO!!!!! PEOPLE PLEASE THINK long and hard before voting Trump.
