Summary
Scott Adams is the creator of Dilbert, and he also happens to be a Trump apologist to end all Trump apologists. He thinks Trump is the greatest persuader of people that has maybe ever lived, and he thinks half the country is in a mass hysteria and cognitive dissonance for not realizing that fact. You might have heard him on Sam Harris's podcast a while back and you might also have slammed your head into your desk a few times. In a couple recent blog posts, Scott references a list of Trump's incredible achievements. He alleges that lefties like me won't be able to fit this list into their worldviews and will have to pretend it doesn't exist. Let's see how this list holds up!
Scott Adams blog 1, 2, pipelines, 100 ways Trump is hurting women, the women's council that is MIA, Trump's 2 for 1 regulation thing sucks, Trump hasn't followed through on HBCUs.
I was on the Mythicist Milwaukee Podcast discussing the conference which I'll be appearing at this month. Check them out here.

| 1:04.8 | incompetent and a lot of other things. Apparently we're all suffering from a |
| 1:08.7 | mass hysteria and he's got the right answer so we're gonna to look at that I'm going to debunk also his list of accomplishments he I thought it was going to be Scott Adams list of accomplishments for Trump |
| 1:20.0 | but it actually is he's lazy he just linked to a Reddit you know our slash the Donald |

| 2:23.0 | But for those who don't wish to listen to the Scott Adams Sam Harris episode, |
