Episode notes
Trump's Preemptive Pardons
- Scott Adams discusses Trump's mass pardons for allies involved in the fake electors episode and how it cuts both ways politically.
- He notes the pardons make allies look protected but also risk appearing guilty despite no charges.
Expect Trump To Keep Pressing Gains
- Trump's negotiation style centers on relentless persuasion and extracting concessions rather than stopping after one win.
- Adams argues Trump will push for maximum gains, so apparent compromises rarely end his agenda.
Training Makes Media Hoaxes Less Effective
- Media hoaxes like the BBC splice succeeded earlier but now fail because conservatives were taught to spot them.
- Training audiences to identify manipulation reduces long-term effectiveness of such attacks.
