Trump Persuasion Lesson Scott Adams breaks down how Trump stole "affordability" from Zohran and made it his own. As only Trump can. Recognize Strategize Neutralize Scott Adams "That’s three-for-three of three of the hardest things you could do in persuasion. Recognize the word, know that you have to deal with it, then totally embrace it and co-opt it and turn it into your own thing. Nobody else can do that."

In 2015, Scott Adams made a “crazy” prediction that most people thought was impossible. He said Trump had a 98% chance of becoming president, and he made that call on a single observation. The winning attribute that made Scott confident in Trump’s victory was his one-of-a-kind persuasion skills. While political betting markets dismissed Trump’s chances, Adams argued—using his background in persuasion and hypnosis—that Trump was the most psychologically effective candidate in the race and therefore favored to win. He built a massive following by showing how persuasion, not policy, drives political outcomes. That insight proved correct. But it also revealed something darker. 🧵

Scott Adams: "You can get 70% of people to change their mind just instantly if you say, 'This is what your team thinks.'" Or, as I quoted Michael Malice in "Demonetize Your Mind!": "The average human doesn't run a true/false filter but an us/them filter."

Scott Adams: Trump went from flailing on Epstein to an absolute persuasion kill-shot 🔥 By pinning it as a “Democrat problem” (Clinton, Summers, Hoffman) and goading the media to keep asking, he’s weaponized repetition + visuals into something unstoppable. Scott Adams “So he's going to have repetition, he's going to have visual. He's got now control of the narrative because it's just an interesting thing to talk about. And he is successfully branding this as a Democrat problem.”

“People don’t run a true–false filter; they run an us–them filter.” In this clip, Michael Malice argues that while people share basic emotions, they process information very differently. These cognitive differences make meaningful communication difficult and fuel societal problems, especially in politics and on social media, where people filter information not by truth but by “us vs. them” group identity.

This is a masterclass in persuasion layering: – Presuppositions disguised as questions – Emotional stacking (past harm → present threat → urgency) – Moral framing that makes disagreement feel unethical – And a critical factor bypass at the end “Even if you don’t understand…” That line removes the need for thinking and replaces it with alignment. That’s not accidental. That’s design.

Blanche: it's absolutely false to suggest that this DOJ is not executing as we should in doing the right thing every single day. Whitehouse: I will tell you that you are wrong, that in the history of the department, this kind of criticism by federal judges is unprecedented. And it comes from judges of every different political persuasion.

🚨NEW: Michael Malice discusses Scott Adams with Joe Rogan🤣🙏 MALICE: "There were 2 lines I couldn't say at the memorial because I knew the fans would get salty — which is: 'Scott is in Heaven right now doing what he loved most — avoiding black people.'" "And: 'The reason Dilbert was a black and white comic strip is because Scott didn't really like the coloreds.' Because Scott was a humorist. Just go for the joke." "I just felt it was important to commemorate his passing — because he's really helped me out a lot in my thinking." ROGAN: "Yeah. It's a real bummer, man." Daily Caller

The Scott Adams School: Michael Malice outlines the Democrats comeback despite big losses Michael Malice "The Democratic Party is the oldest political party on earth, and you don't last that long unless you're doing something right. And what they know how to do is to seize and maintain power. And people are like, 'The Democratic Party's approval ratings at 20%.' You're not literally voting for the Democratic Party, you're voting for the candidate. Just like many people who despise the Republican Party were more than happy to vote for Donald Trump with an R next to his name."

Before Trump, the Left controlled both the cultural and political power in America. They stopped seeing power as something you competed for in a democracy and saw it as their birthright. Charlie Kirk represented the opposite: To be an American is to pursue power through persuasion. And because of that belief, he was shifting the country to the Right both politically and culturally. My opening monologue on what we learned about America last week:

After Trump’s victory, Adams pivoted to punditry—and during COVID, even he struggled to see the truth. Scott strongly endorsed the vaccines, vaccinated himself, and publicly belittled followers who refused. Many later derisively called him “Clot Adams.” In January 2023, Adams admitted—on video—that he’d been wrong and that the anti-vaxxers were correct. But he framed it as luck: the right people just happened to distrust the government, while “all the data” supposedly pointed intelligent analysts toward vaccination. That framing matters. It reveals how even skilled observers of persuasion can mistake marketing consensus for truth—and how the same system that manufactures medical certainty also hides the limits of medicine, until reality forces a reckoning.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær discussing Sir Alex Ferguson’s impact on his confidence in the video below… One the great psychologists of the 20th century was Albert Bandura. A man who researched confidence and self-belief for 60 years…what Solskjær is speaking to here is Sir Alex using one of Bandura’s well researched sources of confidence - verbal persuasion. But verbal persuasion in subtle, perhaps concealed tones. Not “You’re great”, more “He will get the goal”. Said with certainty to catch the humble Solskjær off-guard… “Wow he said that about me..” An injection of confidence…a hit of belief! “Help them feel great” Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers once said. Help them feel great… Your words…your sentences…your affirmations. Your tone…your rhythm…your pauses…tools for coaching as important as session design, as important as principles of play and game models.
