Dilbert Creator: Trump ‘Invulnerable’ If Beats Disability Flap
breitbart.com ^ | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 11/27/2015 12:51:00 PM PST by RoosterRedux

Dilbert creator Scott Adams said Friday afternoon that if Donald Trump survives the ongoing controversy about whether he made fun of New York Times reporter's disability, he will be a lock to win the presidency.

"If he survives this one, he's invulnerable," Adams said.

Adams took to Periscope on Friday afternoon to promote his new book, How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life, and answered questions from fans.

Recently, Adams has written about his conviction that Donald Trump will win the presidency, based on his use of sophisticated techniques of public persuasion. Adams told Reason magazine that Trump uses perceived insults to beat back opponents:

"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."

Trump survives easily because the NY Times are a bunch of faggot lying scumbags.

LOL, someone who realizes that Trump is not an idiot and a clown. He is in fact, someone is brilliant and knows exactly what he is doing.

In a choice between the Slimes and Trump it’s no contest: Trump by a mile!

Yep. What the Elites fail to see is that Trump could light a NYT reporter on fire and we would still cheer. They are our enemy because they declared us to be their enemy several years ago. Like 1941 America, we are slow to get moving, but once we are mobilized, we are brutal and efficient and unstoppable.

I don’t recall the media asking if Obama would survive his “I bowl like a retard” comment, because they knew they had his back.

Trump already survived it and has survived a lot worse. Not even a blip on the radar.

I never bought into the line that Trump knew this reporter, had ever met him, or knew of his handicap.

It is so unprovable in the first place, and Trump has raised such an appropriate degree of stink over it, against the media claim to the contrary, that Trump called for an apology.

So, yes, Trump dodges another bullet. One has to CHOOSE to believe the media to buy into their version.

Who does that anymore??

[Manufactured flap]

I agree. Of course NBC and Lester Holt and Yahoo are pushing the flap. Much ado about nothing.

I’m sure CBS/ABC/CNN are right on board, too.

It can’t be that what he’s saying makes sense, that his human-ness is acceptable because he speaks the truth. It has to be that he’s hypnotizing all but the most resilient of Leftists.

The guy wrote the article and can't deny it. His disability didn't effect his writing.

I realize that the guy has a problem...but I don't understand why his picture was taken to highlight his problem. I would guess many others were scrubbed that didn't highlight his disability.

And do we know when that picture was taken?

Off topic, but am I the only one who thinks of Dilbert every time I see Alan West? (BTW, I am a big Alan West fan).

He's not using hypnosis. He's use neurolinguistic programming in an open and honest way (the same way that ad firms use girls in bikinis to sell products).

He's keeping things simple with anchors.

Think Jeb Bush..."low energy."

Think Rubio..."sweats like a pig." (even though I don't think pigs sweat much, if at all).

Think Carson..."low energy and wanted to hit his mother on the head with a hammer."

Think Snarly Purina..."looks like she just ate a lemon" i.e. sour personality.

“IF” lolololololol

One of the weakest attempts by the MSM to take down Trump thus far, IMO.

Go Trump!
