The Master Persuader's Playbook

In February 2016, Scott Adams made a bold prediction that left many scratching their heads. While political experts were writing Donald Trump's political obituary after he failed to disavow the KKK on CNN, Adams saw something different. As a trained hypnotist, he recognized Trump possessed "weapons-grade persuasion skills" - perhaps the most powerful he'd ever witnessed. This wasn't just political analysis; it was a revelation about how human minds actually work. What if our decisions aren't based on facts and logic, but on emotional triggers and persuasion techniques that bypass our rational minds? What if Trump wasn't just a political anomaly but a master persuader who understood human psychology better than the experts analyzing him?
