Dilbert Creator: Donald Trump Is a ‘Master Wizard’

The creator of the popular comic strip Dilbert thinks Donald Trump is a “master wizard.”

Take a moment to rub your eyes in a comedically over-the-top fashion before reading on.

Yes, you read that right. Scott Adams, the guy behind Dilbert, spoke to Reason TV and argued that Trump is actually kind of brilliant in how he insults people and he could actually win the presidency.

See, Adams believes Trump to be a master of a “deep technique that I recognized from the fields of hypnosis and persuasion.” Apparently Trump’s ability to come up with short, catchy attacks on his rivals––”low-energy” Jeb Bush and “robotic” Carly Fiorina––is what Adams deems “linguistic kill shots” that stick with voters.

And as for Trump’s policy vagueness, well, that just allows people to fill in the blanks with custom Trump policies that they themselves like.
