He wrote the most authoritative book in the topic of persuasion: Influence: Science and Practice. I haven't read his new book yet, but it's supposedly the best: Presuasion. |

In his books he discusses how important he thinks it is to never let people who attack you get away with it. We've seen this in action for years from Trump. Like before the campaign, whenever he got attacked on twitter or in the media, he countered even harder. During the campaign he did it a lot at first but less so later, probably because voters don't like it. |

Reminds me of a kid in school everyone would tease just because he completely overreacted to it. It's like he never figured out the reason people teased him was to see him overreact. | |

His actions to the Trump University Judge Curiel stuff was just too good. His own party thought he did that one wrong, and rumor is in private Trump was calling them idiots. I think Trump was right. The media tried to paint Trump as racist because of it, but one thing resulted from that situation: the Trump University attacks were deader than a door nail. |

As an adult with Autism who is oftentimes incompetent in social interactions (probably including this forum although I try not to be), it took me until, I don't know, my late 20's (maybe even 30's, I'm 31 now) that my reaction to the teasing/bullying, was actually their reward and what they wanted in the first place. |

Yea, well sorry if I opened an old wound there. And I don't think you're being incompetent on this forum. What I meant was Trump is like someone who doesn't get it socially, though it's more likely because he's overly sensitive to criticism than that he doesn't understand that he's feeding the trolls by responding to them. | |

Sounds good. Part of my mammoth posts was meant to laud all the other things that happen on election days beside determining the POTUS. We do have quite a bit of power on election day, many people just can't be fucked to do the necessary engagement before going to the voting booth (which, in the IT age, is like 3-5 hours worth of work that you can spread out over a month if you feel like it). | |

Trump needs to stop tweeting about the protesters and condemn the surge in hate crimes over the last day. That would be a good step towards unifying the divide and easing some of the protest backlash. | |

Last time Bush won in 2000, and as history has told us, Bush was in fact a corrupt and lousy President, the protesters egged the Presidential limousine upon him driving into Washington DC on inauguration day. |

OMG, I just realized that the responsible thing for me to do would be to follow Trump on Twitter. Because that's now the president's Twitter account. And he uses it a lot. And here-on-out, it will have a very real affect on my life. | |

I mean honestly, this thread is 95% Trump bashing, and it's like anyone who doesn't think he's the worst human being on the planet is stupid. Even wuf has been accused of racism, purely for agreeing with Trump's immigration policy. | |

Slagging off protests kind of defeats the point of what protests are about. It doesn't matter if you agree with them or not it's kind of important they can do it. |

The career politicians, the ones who are more interested in money and power, such as Bush, what with his business links with Saudi oil barons, such as the Bin Ladens. | |

That's quite a rant. I said that asserting that someone being self-conscious and egotistical necessarily means they'll be good at what they do is shit logic. You were talking about Trump, but you could have been talking about Justin Trudeau, Jerry Jones, or Mrs Doubtfire and it would have been an equally absurd statement. | |

Trump, Brexit, Dueterte, Colombia's vote for peace, whatever else I'm not aware of - what gives? I've been looking around for an explanation. (if you only read one, the first one is probably the best) | |

I will say this for Trump. No one jukes him, it seems. You can't possibly take him lightly and it's hard to know what he'll do and how to use it to your advantage. | |

The best thing Trump had going for him was Clinton, and vice-versa. Anyone else would have crushed either of them imo. | |

I tried warning some Trump supporters about this. Cruz was the *true* anti-establishment candidate. His team would have been made up almost entirely of people who gave the corruption of the government a big middle finger. |

Ong's point has merit. If Trump's brand is intertwined with America's brand, the argument can be reasonably made that it means he would have a greater incentive to do better for America. |
