Daddy's little girl

One of the topics I have seen of late coming from the "black pill" crowd is that President Trump has decided to leave significant campaign promises left unfulfilled because he's brokered a deal with the "real" powers that be to ensure his daughter gets to be President at some point in the future.

There is a Swedish proverb that is relevant, "Those who wish to sing, always find a song."

It might be worth taking a trip to a few years back and remember when similar types of aspersions were being tossed about.

For years people have tried to find ways to dismiss and discredit Donald Trump. It doesn't seem to matter, does it? That article, from four years ago, if you look at all that has, or hasn't, happened in the meantime, the hindsight can be useful.

People have been theorizing incorrectly about Trump for a long time. While this track record should dissuade, people forget who said what, who claimed what, and that forgetfulness can be exploited by people who want to sell the latest reason to dive into a purely emotional experience.

Being miserable and upset is, apparently, all that some people can feel anymore. As such, they are determined to remain in such a state, but get lonely, and want others to join in with them.

Now, this doesn't mean they are wrong, but it does mean that extra scrutiny needs to be applied to claims made because at even the hint of negativity, these people's brains light up at the opportunity and they'll jump on it and ride it as long as possible. They'll take small things and act as if they're big, if that's what it takes to get their emotional high, or low as the case may be.

In this case, if someone wants to build a case, they'd need to show a history of behavior to establish Donald Trump's patterns, and how this would be an extension of that pattern just playing out once again.

The people I've seen don't do that, so while it's possible someone is, for all the pointing and shrieking I've not seen a source which has been able to provide any conclusive evidence.

Certainly in hindsight, with more data, we'll know for sure, but part of making good predictions and judgment calls is in collecting the pertinent data ahead of time and making choices on what to do now in light of it.

Oh right, don't suggest people do anything, because you might be a fed in a honeypot looking to nab someone, so all we can do is endlessly attempt to diagnose the same problems over and over and over...
