Interesting and kinda scary. Maybe Trump is smarter than we think. *quality

Trump isn't the fool that folks on the left side of politics often try to paint him as. Don't get me wrong, I don't like him, and I think he has plenty of flaws, but he certainly isn't stupid. He's spent years reading the rules of the popularity contest often called 'elections' in the US, and, like him or not, he has been playing an excellent game.

Con artist Donald. I have read about half of Scotts book and found a couple of interesting things in there I had not known about myself. Really interesting for people with a particular set of problems. The Joseph Heller of cartoon strips.

Just find this idea totally fascinating. If it's true totally caught me off guard. *promote

It certainly explains a lot!

Scott Adams has always been a raging trashfire. Not surprised he's a Trump supporter, especially after his rant about how women are like "children and the mentally handicapped".

MRA Dilbert blog taking his actual quotes and putting them into Dilbert strips should really just replace his cartoon.

First of all, where did you get the idea that he's a Trump supporter? Saying that Trump is not as dumb as he's made out to be is not the same as supporting him.

Second, while I don't agree with Adams supposed position on women, it doesn't invalidate his points about Trump.

I'm getting it from the fact that whether he actually says it out right, he has great admiration for Trump, has done AMA's on the Donald Trump sub reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/4eglxx/) and routinely praises him to the point of endorsement.

In that AMA, he says:

"I don't want to be tarred with whatever ridiculousness gets spray-painted onto Trump's reputation. So it was a good way to document some distance. "

and

"In my view, Trump is not currently qualified to be president because he scares too many of my fellow citizens. (He doesn't scare me.) But I do think he can change that situation. That's why I predict he will win in a landslide."

His only reason for not outwardly supporting him is because its socially toxic, not that he doesn't actually support him.

None of those sound like support to me.

The first comment doesn't really state anything either way, other than he doesn't want to be associated with the circus of Trump.

The second still isn't an endorsement.
He says Trump isn't qualified to be President: patently obvious.
He says he thinks Trump can change that situation (people being scared of him): probably true, but again not an endorsement.
He predicts Trump will win in a landslide: it's certainly possible, but again, not an endorsement.

He says Trump doesn't scare him: This is the closest to an endorsement.

Basically, I agree with most of that statement (Trump doesn't scare me, but the thought of a Trump presidency is fucking terrifying).

That doesn't mean I support Trump, and no, it's not out of some fear of a social backlash, it's because I think he's a fucking pathetic excuse for what might charitably be called a human being.

Is it possible Adams supports Trump? Of course, but there isn't really sufficient evidence to make that claim.

@Imagoamin, you really think this guy is Trump supporter?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Scott Adams is a smart guy. Lots of bright people are trying to warn us about the rise of Trump. Andrew Sullivan is calling a Trump presidency an "extinction level event". http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/04/america-tyranny-donald-trump.html#
