Like many of you, I have been entertained by the unstoppable clown car that is Donald Trump. On the surface, and several layers deep as well, Trump appears to be a narcissistic blow-hard with inadequate credentials to lead a country. The only problem with my analysis is that there is an eerie consistency to his success so far. Is there a method to it? Is there some sort of system at work under the hood? Probably yes. Allow me to describe some of the hypnosis and persuasion methods Mr. Trump has employed on you. (Most of you know I am a trained hypnotist and this topic is a hobby of mine.) For starters, Trump literally wrote the book on negotiating, called The Art of the Deal. So we know he is familiar with the finer points of persuasion. For our purposes today, persuasion, hypnosis, and negotiating all share a common set of tools, so I will conflate them. Would Trump use his negotiation and persuasion skills in the campaign? Of course he would. And we expect him to do just that. But where is the smoking gun of his persuasion? Where is his technique laid out for us to see. Everywhere. As I said in my How to Fail book, if you are not familiar with the dozens of methods of persuasion that are science-tested, there’s a good chance someone is using those techniques against you. […] If you’re keeping score, in the past month Trump has bitch-slapped the entire Republican Party, redefined our expectations of politics, focused the national discussion on immigration, proposed the only new idea for handling ISIS, and taken functional control of FOX News. And I don’t think he put much effort into it. Imagine what he could do if he gave up golf. As far as I can tell, Trump’s “crazy talk” is always in the correct direction for a skilled persuader. When Trump sets an “anchor” in your mind, it is never random. And it seems to work every time. Now that Trump owns FOX, and I see how well his anchor trick works with the public, I’m going to predict he will be our next president. I think he will move to the center on social issues (already happening) and win against Clinton in a tight election.

Yes, except it will be against Biden, and the election won't be that close. Trump will walk away with it. And he will be the greatest president since FDR when he actually takes the office. He will hold it for eight years, and his veep will succeed him. It's "High Noon" in America.
You're a liberal.
The Republicans did not want to fight the Axis and resisted armament. FDR outfoxed them to get the country ready for war, fought the war and won it. FDR put into place Social Security and Unemployment insurance. He established the TVA that electrified a vast region of the South. With the WPA he put millions of Americans back to work. FDR was the greatest President of the 20th Century, by far. Do you know who agreed with me? Ronald Reagan agreed with me on that. HE was an FDR Democrat. Newt Gingrich agrees on that too. I'm a realist.
Which is why the GOP has 16 (17?) candidates. The opportunity to win has never been greater, everyone knows it, and everyone wants in.
Some of these guys are auditioning for cabinet jobs or VP (Fiorina). A few, like Pataki and Gillmore, are likely trying to boost their lobbying fees so they still seem current and not just has-beens. Some of them may just be on book tours (Cain). And a non-incumbent prez election brings out a crop of candidates in both parties. We saw this in '92 and in 2000 and in 2008. Basically, you need to be in the 45-60yo bracket to win the WH. Since it is never desirable to carry the party banner against an incumbent prez (Romney, Kerry, Bob Dole, etc.), you will naturally have more candidates in a non-incumbent election. So in that sense, it is nothing unusual to see a large field of candidates in either or both parties as a sitting prez leaves office.
Well then what does that say about Obama? Trump for all his issues is a 1000 times more qualified than Obama and a 100 times more qualified than any of the bushes. Yes he is a blowhard and a narcissist. Anyone that wants to be president has narcissistic qualities.
Fresh from YouBoob. Someone recorded the MTP interview with an iPad and uploaded it.
FDR is one of the worst presidents. If not for WWII he would have gone down in flames. He is the "give me" or "buy your vote with other peoples money" candidate like LBJ and Obama. FDR made the great depression worse by allowing it to drag on and on and on. Like I said if not for WWII FDR would have gone down as one of the worst. If you treated your children like progressives treat America they would have drug-up worthless unproductive children that act like whores. JMHO The presidents that tried to interfere the least are the best. The only exception is President Reagan who had to undo so much but got shafted by his own party and namely bush.
You're a liberal Then every sensible person is an old style New Deal "liberal"
The Republicans held the White House continually from right after World War I until 1932. The Great Depression hit in 1929. In 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932 - all the way to early 1933, the Republicans controlled the White House and the rest of the government. They controlled the Supreme Court for awhile longer. And during all of that time, the Republicans had stewardship over the whole government, and over dealing with the Great Depression. They controlled the government for the first four full years of the Depression - their policies CREATED the Depression - the Democrats controlled nothing. And then the Republicans were completely hapless, unable to fix it. Things got worse and worse, unemployment ballooned to over a quarter of the workforce. People were desperate, and the homeless assembled into vast camps that became called "Hoovervilles", because Hoover and the Republicans were incapable of doing anything about it. They were trapped by their own ideology, and things got worse and worse. FDR was elected in 1932, and took office in 1933, and began to change things. The TVA and WPA put people to work. Unemployment benefits considerably softened the blow. Social Security addressed the poverty of workers too old to work. Then came World War II, and as it came, the Republicans in Congress and all across the country mightily resisted any US participation. They opposed involvement. They insisted upon neutrality against Hitler and Tojo, while those two divvied up the world. Isolationism was a Republican policy. FDR prepared the country for war, and did what he could to shore up the future allies abroad against the onslaught. Overage destroyers were "Lent-leased" to Britain. General Chennault took the "unofficial" Flying Tigers with their P-40 warhawks over to fight for China against the Japanese invasion. When the war came, America was ready, thanks to FDR. Had the government followed Republican policy, the United States would have been ill prepared for the war as France and the Soviet Union were. FDR launched the Manhattan Project to develop the Atomic Bomb. He decided on the "Europe First" policy, even though Japan had actually attacked America at Pearl Harbor. He picked the right military leaders, sacked the weak ones, and plotted out the victory. And we won, big. He was the greatest President of the 20th Century. The Republican beliefs set us up for the Depression and were powerless to address it, and had the Republicans gotten their way, Hitler would have overrun Europe, and Japan would have conquered China, Southeast Asia, India, and Australia. Republican economics did not work in the 19th Century: they resulted in crony capitalism. They did not work before FDR. Indeed, they made FDR NECESSARY. And they have never worked since. the momentary flush of growth when taxes and regulations are slashed too deeply turns into a flash in the pan, creating a bubble that then bursts every time. But Republican ideologues never learn.
I'm glad I listened to that whole interview. Trump is smarter than I thought he was. He has a grander vision than I thought he did. He has thought through more issues than I thought he had, and he has come to the same conclusions as I have on most of the ones that count. Before, much of my support for him was based on intuition. Now I've heard him. He is the Real Deal. The reporter kept refusing to hear Trump's wisdom on so very many things, but Trump was able to get it out there. The man has judgment - real, deep, judgment. And he likes people. If you watched that interview and did not come away with a different, better point of view of that man, well, there's something wrong with you.
Examine the studies beginning with the Yale University publications on attitude change in the fifties. The radical left has employed them very effectively for decades. I provided an introduction to the area in the on-line course in political psychology I was paid to give several years ago. Like the Delbert creator I too am a hypnotist and used to give demonstrations of it on occasion. I have not engaged in hypnotic techniques for forty years. Trump's campaign style has nothing to do with hypnosis. This is nothing but a sly hit piece meant to cast negative light on Trump and isolate him by creating fear of him.

I think you're coming down with a bad case of confirmation bias.
I wish I had more time. No he was not the best or even close to the best president. The reason for the depression was government interference in pricing. The dust-bowl/great-depression like the stock market crash of today come directly from government sticking its nose into the market casing it to expand out of control until something like 911 or the dust bowl come to remind people government is always the problem and almost never the solution. It was WWI that started government pricing and telling via pricing what farms were going to farm and abnormal demand cause farms and newbie farms to over farm the land which made the dust bowl and depression worse. BTW it was FDR that stack the USSC to get his way or did they not teach that in your school books? His SS is a scam. You would be better off sticking that money in a bank and drawning 1% than taking what they give you when you retire. All progressives do is take from the hard working productive and give to the POS people who pissed away their life because they knew that someone else was going to take care of them. As government gets bigger and takes more in the name of poverty the more good people have less to give those in true need! Which as a Christian really pisses me off!
7:40 - "My go-to guy is John Bolton" Isn't that the same guy the Bush's use? Horrible choice for foreign policy advise, a neocon war monger. And John McCain, Dick Cheney, Hillary, John F'n Kerry, Joe Lieberman etc... Social Security is not simply a retirement benefit. It also provides disability insurance for workers, and a survivor benefit to spouses and children of workers. Qualification is automatic and there's no pre-existing condition exception. Also, the benefits are adjusted for inflation over time. No product exists in the private market that comes close to all of these benefits of Social Security. It's the best investment in Security that every worker ever makes. Your 1% figure is a bunch of hooey. Do the math and you'll see.
Yep. Vic thinks the government should take this over. It can't as evidenced by what FD FDR has done to the country. We are still suffering because of him. Wasn't his wife a witch?
Millions of Americans are broke and can't make ends meet because they have to pay for stuff like you mentioned above. You are for stealing from them and keeping them down so that the middle man can take a cut and distribute it to someone else. You're a progressive like Karl Marx.
He was Bush's U.N. ambassador. Not exactly the top diplo post. He was generally a hawkish neocon typical of the Bush bunch. He seems to have slightly mellowed the last two years IMO. He sounds a little more like a classic realist type, more like Kissinger or Schultz or Baker. Or at least a little more like them. Less reflexively hawkish. I can't imagine why Trump wants to embrace Bolton. Perhaps he is considering him for NSC or for SoS? I don't think that would work so well even if the bar for SoS is pretty low after Hitlery and Lurch.
I am for following Jesus' and YHWH's law of economics to the letter, because they're God and they are much smarter than we are about these things. Also, because they're God, they reward those who obey them by making things work better for them. When one obeys God, and makes a purpose of it, one has better crop yields, better discoveries, less damaging weather, etc. God rewards those who follow him with favors. But he punishes those who defy him with blows. Follow God's law, and God provides the extra productivity of fields, mines and minds, working in brotherly cooperation, to make things work. Refuse to follow God's law and insist on something else, and God gives you dust bowls, diseases, hurricanes and floods, and social unrest, all to make it such that your preferred path cannot work out.
Jesus's ways are not compatible with Karl Marx's ways.
It's weird that Trump was calling neocon Krauthammer "a dummy", "a jerk" and "a loser" a couple of weeks ago, but he loves Bolton? Krauthammer has rained on his parade in print and on TV a number of times. Much as other WaPo writers have done including George Will. If you don't love Trump, he thinks you're a dummy and calls you names.
I can see why a Communist from the northeast would think that,but Americans won't agree. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
You're a liberal. No,he is a fascist,which is about as far from being a liberal as you can get. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
"Creative History. The Republicans didn't want to fight ANY war. It was the Dims under King Franklin that didn't want to fight Joe Stalin's political brother and ally,Adolph Hitler. UNTIL Hitler invaded Uncle Joe's Kingdom,and then all of a sudden Nazi's became evil and overnight they suddenly became "right wingers" when all along they were and are nothing but left wingers. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
King Franklin's economic programs only made the depression worse and made it last longer. What brought America out of the depression was manufacturing war materials for European nations gearing up to fight each other. This boom lasted until the mid-50's,when Europe finally managed to get all the rubble cleared away and their factories producing again. European manufacturing going back online resulted in the "mini-depression" of 1958,which the Dims,being Dims,named the "Eisenhower Depression". If a Dims lips are moving,the MoFo is lying.

"Then every FOOL is an old style New Deal "liberal" " There,fixed it for ya. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Republican policies created a world-wide depression in the 1920's? What Vatican-approved mental institution taught you that the Republicans of the 20's held legislative power in all civilized governments world-wide? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
They are the same ways. Only the methods used to implement them are different. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Eh. I'm a Christian. That is both "liberal" and "conservative", depending on the issue. Christianity is immensely older than modern democratic republicanism, nationalist politics, "liberal" and "conservative". Liberals and conservatives are generally each various standard deviations off of the One True Standard, which is the razor line sung by YHWH and Christ. I think that liberals should move conservative in the direction of singing the razor line with Christ, and conservatives should move liberal in the direction of singing the razor line with Christ. The right answer is not found on the left, right or center of the American political spectrum. It is not on that spectrum. It is a different standard, and it is the correct one to be applied to all things.
Nice story, bro. But it's not history. FDR sent the British a bunch of destroyers in 1940, and sent the Flying Tigers to China long before the war started. Hitler invaded the USSR in the Summer of 1941. The US did not enter the war until December, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. FDR would have brought the US into the war much earlier. The Republicans blocked all of it. So instead of nipping Germany in the bud before they were vast and powerful, and stopping Japan in China, we let the threat grow, through our inaction, and ended up spending hundreds of thousands more American lives, and millions of limbs, to put the genie back in the bottle.
Republican policies created a boom in the 1920s and a crash in 1929, and were limp and inert in the face of a situation that got worse and worse. The Republicans had been the majority party since the Civil War. They lost that status because of their economic incompetence. They fell further behind due to their political incompetence, of having been the Isolationist party in the face of the rise of Hitler, Tojo and Mussolini. You can make up fantasy history all you like, but the Americans did not shift their loyalty from the Republican to the Democratic party in the 1930s and 1940s because they were tricked. They did it because the Republicans were incompetent and crashed everything.
You are more than that. You are a devout Catholic,which means you are a fascist seeking world domination and enslavement. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Of course. The British paid for the destroyers and other military equipment with gold and silver bullion,and King Franklin was hoping to provoke the Japanese into attacking us because war is good for the economy. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Thanks,but I have no interest in becoming a priest,never mind the Pope. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
The Republicans had been the majority party since the Civil War. You're dismissing quite a bit of actuall histiry. Mr. Feral Reserve himself, Woody Wilson (D), made sure We The People would NEVER be able to truly govern. Instead, Wilson(D) and his puppetmeisters (the Banksters who started their little NWO Club on Jekyll Island) would manipulate our representative governance and damn us to a future of PTB games. This included our *immediate* involvement in WWI, the Stock Market Crash, FDR's(D) confiscation of Gold, FDR's Pro-Commie Admin, LBJ's(D) Great Plantation Society (1965) and Teddy Kennedy's(D) infamous Third World Immigration Act of 1965. By then the elites, together with the seculars' and Commies' damage was done. Btw -- this issue always arises with you but the Social Security system and the socialist policies of FDR (D) of the 1930s were....humanitarian and supposed to be a *temporary* safety net; NOT a generation lifestyle OR entitlements for the physically able. Charity is "Biblical"; NOT coercion-based taxes to subside laziness and sloth, blackmail, or Affirmative Action -- the theft of employment and position based on identity politics. Midway through Reagan's second term, the neocon-RINO-globalists had already begun creating the nonsensical, liberal-socialist-global-first policies and today's Uni-Party -- Republican-In-Name-Only(R) and the neo-Dems (Commie Party, USA.)
I'm curious if you will get an answer to this one??
Now that Trump owns FOX, and I see how well his anchor trick works with the public, I’m going to predict he will be our next president. I think he will move to the center on social issues (already happening) and win against Clinton in a tight election.
