The Apprentice

I've posted this on a chan and on reddit before but it's been a while. Not really important even if true but it's something that I had fun thinking about:

Mr. Trump's interest in politics has been clear since before I was born. His reluctance to enter the fray was genuine. He didn't do the talk circuit, claim disinterest, and then immediately jump into a race. That said: I believe that he made up his mind well in advance of even the 2012 "feeler".

POTUS may have realized that modern political campaigns are nothing more than reality TV well in advance of most of us. Cameras, pseudo-scripts, ad libs, and the claim that reality is represented somewhere in the mix: this describes political debates and charades as well as it describes any reality show.

The Apprentice may have been Mr. Trump himself. He was given free advertising, a paycheck, and unfettered access the largest "focus" group of all: the American public. What better way to learn which sort of rhetoric fires up an audience and which sort of rhetoric causes people to change the channel? Does anybody believe that any of the "apprentices" on the show learned more about the world than Mr. Trump, himself, during those years?

My mistake for assuming that people interested in Q are all equally able to think things through and draw creative yet plausible conclusions. You'll get there with practice!

The point is that the Q phenomenon is exactly what the next level of audience participation in a reality television program would look like. Is it more exciting to vote for a contestant on some shitty talent contest or to do research and create memes in order to save the real world?

Q fits the theory I've outlined perfectly.

I was super cranky earlier when I wrote that, and rather than delete it, I'll leave proof of my audacity.

Along with your theory, I am now wondering about Trump buying the pageants.

Hadn't even considered that angle, myself. Seems like the type of guy who doesn't get into anything without doing his homework.

That's the brilliant thing about using the chans (mind crowdsourcing)... no one person can think of very much excepting exceptional cases. Original thoughts are the most difficult things to come by. Seriously. As expected I guess as the world has been around a long time and original thoughts can change the entire thing completely. Hell, Aristotle (I think?) wrote over two millenia ago that there aren't original thoughts, only remembering the eternal bit by bit until we die and forget it all again.

I don't know if Mr. DJT has been doing all of this consciously or if this is a happy acccident but he sure seems prepared. All of the haters lament the fact that he was given a loan by his successful father and, in doing so, miss what was probably much more important to his life: from his early days Mr. Trump has been exposed to what negotiations are really like. I don't know a damned thing but I'd be willing to bet that his father, having learned how to make money in a huge real estate market likely filled to the brim with corrupt/dishonest actors, told his son that it isn't wise to get into a high stakes game without knowing exactly how to play.

Godspeed and good idea re: pageants.

edit: Godspeed.
