Scott Adams: In his own words
Prediction: Watch for someone in Mexican politics to publicly agree with Trump that Mexico might pay for some part of increased border security. Then watch that turn into a pundit battle about what that actually means. Does it mean pay for the entire wall? Does it mean Mexico already pays a lot for border control, and this…
Read MoreAccording to Paul Waldman at THEWEEK.COM, nobody predicted that Trump would be doing so well at the end of 2015. While I’m on the topic, I’ll add another prediction to the Master Persuader series. I predict that by the time Trump is in the general election and running against Clinton, you will start hearing that…
Read MoreWarning: What follows is real hypnosis (without the trance). You should NOT read further unless you would like to have the best orgasms of your life on New Year’s Eve and the following day, with or without a partner. This method will work for both men and women. There will be no “dirty…
Read MoreOn December 13th I used the Master Persuader filter to predict that Clinton had topped in the polls compared to Trump and would start drifting down. The latest national poll shows Trump and Clinton in a near statistical tie for the general election. One poll is not credible on its own, but it is…
Read MoreIn the long run, the so-called ISIS Caliphate is destined to become a walled-in training facility where the major military powers test their new weapons on live combatants. Wars sometimes have expiration dates, but training is forever. Expect the Caliphate to be a permanent war zone, by design. Along those…
Read MoreThe normal view of human beings is that we are mostly rational, but sometimes we get a bit emotional or crazy. My so-called Moist Robot Hypothesis on reality says the reverse, that we are irrational nearly all the time and that we rationalize our decisions after the fact. That view comes from…
Read MoreI don’t even know how to categorize this article in Salon except to say it fits the Master Persuader prediction of a coming Trump landslide. It might blow your mind a little, considering the source. Recently, Huffington Post did an awkward about-face and announced it was moving its Trump coverage from the…
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 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 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 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 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 MoreAccording to the press, Donald Trump had a bad week. If the game we are playing is two-dimensional politics, they are 100% right. But what if the game is three-dimensional politics? The third dimension is emotion and persuasion, not reason. Let’s see how Trump did in the third dimension. Here…
Read MoreI just signed the petition to fire DEA chief Chuck Rosenberg for not understanding that marijuana has legitimate medicinal use. That knowledge seems like the minimum qualification for the job. We can do better. By the way, Trump says let the states decide on legalization. That’s the sort of opinion that breeds…
