Anyone who has not read Scott Adams’ books “How to fail at (almost) everything annd succeed” and “Win Bigly”, or listened to his daily periscopes for the past 2 years has missed his biggest learning opportunity in decades.

I didn’t think that it was likely after 5+ decades of life experience there was much new that I could learn when I started following him in mid-2016.

Boy was I wrong. Not only has Adams given me a new “filter” (as he calls it) for evaluating (and accurately predicting) reality, he’s helped me make sense - in retrospect - of decades of seemingly puzzling contradictory stuff events and basic human nature that I observed in the political world since being an enthusiastic young Reaganite in the 1980s ....

Here is a summary extract of the article’s points:

Trump has one of the best talent stacks you’ll see in existence today. His combination of skills is nearly unmatched.

He has an uncanny ability to persuade a wide swath of the population and hold anyone’s attention, which are quite pertinent traits to possess in the world of politics.

Here’s a breakdown of his talent stack:

PUBLICITY
REPUTATION
STRATEGY
NEGOTIATING
PERSUASION
PUBLIC SPEAKING
SENSE OF HUMOR
QUICK ON HIS FEET
THICK-SKINNED
HIGH ENERGY
SIZE AND APPEARANCE

Trump’s talent stack. He won because of his talent stack and his exceptional persuasion abilities.

Author and Dilbert both assume American voters are as superficial as they are.

Trump wins because he thinks deeply and loves bigly. I got on train way early because of policy. Did not give a shi+ about list.
