Don't imagine Trump as a 4D chess player.
That's the wrong metaphor.
Imagine him instead as a fencer. He has a sword, which is a very simple tool, with a very simple purpose: pointy end goes in the other guy.
Then remember this Bruce Lee quote:
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."
That's Trump.
He uses very, very simple negotiating techniques. And he's very, very good at them.
This particular move was a two-stage combo. Two very simple moves.
1. Habitually talk like you have an IQ of 95. Everything is either very bad, or tremendous. Every sentence structure is simple and straightforward. No philosophy, no reducing things to first principles, no complex analysis.
Talk like a midwit so people think you are a midwit.
2. Door in the face technique. A compliance method so simple and well-known it has a wikipedia page.
The door-in-the-face technique is a compliance method commonly studied in social psychology. The persuader attempts to convince the respondent to comply by making a large request that the respondent will most likely turn down, much like a metaphorical slamming of a door in the respondent's face. The respondent is then more likely to agree to a second, more reasonable request, than if that same request is made in isolation.
Except Trump is so good at wielding this simple weapon that he doesn't need to make a second request.
He just says a crazy thing, and everyone who's not paying attention believes he wants a crazy thing because they think he's a retard.
Then they fall all over themselves trying to suggest a reasonable alternative, which ends up being pretty much the actual thing Trump wanted all along.
It's that simple, he does it again and again, and it works again and again, because the people who hate him desperately want to think he's dumb.
They succumb to the temptation of flattering their own egos instead of keeping their eyes on the prize.
That makes them easy to manipulate.
So in an attempt to hear Haliey Welchโs side of the Crypto scam story, I agreed to do her first podcast back.
I had heavy stipulations including;
1) Not allowing markets to be manipulated by leaking this episodes existence before a resolution was found.
2) Her team finding a REAL solution regarding the money she made, where that should go and what to do with the $HAWK project moving forward.
These were nonstarters and we were told this episode would only ever see the light of day if we explicitly green lit it.
These incompetent retards leaked and/ or inside traded the token. We noticed a random spike in volume on the coin 2/2 along with random messages asking us if we did the podcast. Very clearly her team was not as solid as they claimed to be. They completely blew it and we called the episode off right then and there.
Now today, the episode โrandomlyโ gets leaked. The price of $HAWK is pumping and they completely fucking fumbled the bag, yet again. What a fucking mess. Poor girl, itโs a wonder how she found herself in this position in the first place.
Now @HalieyWelchX Iโm going to speak to you direct and say the exact same thing I said to you on spaces that night. Fire everybody, your teams fucking retarded.
***FULL DISCLOSURE NOBODY FROM OUR TEAM HAS EVER/ WILL EVER OWN $HAWK TOKENS. HIGHLY ADVISE ANYONE FOLLOWING THE STORY STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS AS A MAJORITY OF THE SUPPLY IS OWNED BY UNKNOWN โDEVELOPERS.โ***
