Scott Adams: In his own words
I understand why people are upset about Donald Trump’s racist vibe. He’s spreading racist breadcrumbs all over the place. I shall list a sample. So far, Trump… 1. Implied that Mexicans are rapists (except for some who are good people). 2. Wants to temporarily ban all Muslims from immigrating until…
Read MoreIn the Republican undercard debate tonight, George Pataki referred to Trump as “president.” That’s the tell for persuasion that I predicted in this post. Search on the page for “bonus thought”. The idea is that Trump has been acting like a president so effectively (and intentionally) that you feel as if he is the incumbent….
Read MoreAs the American presidential race heats up, you’ll see a lot of bad thinking emerge, especially mine. So I thought it would be useful to agree on some ground rules to keep each other in line. I give you my first draft (subject to your improvements) of A Voter’s Guide to…
Read MoreSuppose that instead of temporarily banning Muslim immigration as Trump proposes – which offends our sense of religious tolerance – we ban violent anti-Americanism, but we do it statistically instead of individually. That way we can discriminate in the service of national self-defense and not feel so icky about it….
Read MoreToday Trump said that Hillary Clinton “Killed hundreds of thousands of people with her stupidity.” He was talking about the Middle East and Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. According to the Master Persuader filter, that statement will set off a week of media yapping about how many thousands of people Clinton “killed” with…
Read MoreA few quick things of note. Trump has been saying Hillary Clinton lacks the “strength and stamina” to run for President. In a strange turn of events, Clinton confirms that the campaign is exhausting. She also offered a weak reason why it is still “fun,” but it sounded a little sad. She doesn’t…
Read MoreI’m planning to take a month off from cartooning, sometime soon, to finish work on the Dilbert movie script and launch a start-up that’s just about ready. The only wrinkle in my plan is that I need to create a comic every day. So…here’s my tentative plan. I’m looking for…
Read MoreAs you know, Donald Trump has offended 90% of the media and nearly a third of the country with his idea of temporarily banning Muslim immigration. That’s some crazy Hitler stuff, say the headlines. You might recall that I predicted in this blog an “immigration surprise” from Trump that follows the…
Read MoreUpdate: I will be raising the price of this offer $100 million per month until November because of my 2015 track record. Act now! 😉 As regular readers know, I have been writing about the persuasive skills of Donald Trump. You might also know I’m a certified hypnotist and I’ve been studying…
Read MoreI’ve been out of the loop for a few days, working on a start-up. (More on that in the coming weeks.) So I haven’t been following the news. Let’s check in on Donald Trump and see if he’s done anything newsworthy lately. Checking… Uh-oh. Okay, you might want to know…

Read MoreTrump’s critics like to label him a fascist. I didn’t know what that word meant, so I made the mistake of looking it up. It turns out that no one agrees what the word means. So if you use the word, you’re literally acting like an idiot, because the word has…
Read MoreOver at 2016 Presidential Campaign Predictions they are tracking pundit predictions for the presidential race, including mine [no longer available]. But they have my Trump prediction dated in November. The first time I predicted he would win it all was August. I revised the prediction to “landslide” in October. In the unlikely event that my August…
Read MoreBusiness Insider reports that Trump’s favorability rating among Republican voters was 23% before he announced his candidacy. In July it had climbed to 59%. Today it is 69%. That means it tripled this year. As the article notes, this is surprising because Trump has been a known quantity for decades, and people generally…
Read MoreDonald Trump is in hot water lately for treating a writer with a joint disease the same way he treats everyone else. Most people, including me, felt Trump’s behavior was appalling. If Trump shakes off that controversy and goes on to win the presidency, he has some big campaign promises…
