    Pretty sure I mentioned this before while we were still at Zetaboard or Tapatalk or whatever. I visited the First Ladies’ fashion collection at the Smithsonian’s in DC, and came away thinking Melania’s inauguration gown was (and still is) the most elegant of the collection. Melania has great fashion sense, greater than that of Jackie O’s IMO.

      This tweet made me look up a few other more recent Trump tweets.

      This recent one stuck out to me as being exemplary for how Trump accumulates knowledge.

        World's most privileged man rails against injustice!

        It's quite inspirational.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              Know what he didn’t say anything about? The bomb that went off in a major American city. No statement, no tweet.

                      The problem is Trump did make a statement about Nashville that very morning. It's Jon's own confirmation bias.

                        Sure but the overall point I think is sound. Trump's decisions on what he's going to mention on the Twitters and what he's not is embarrassing.

                        My point is that there can be worse things than having a petulant child in the White House. The Nashville bombing is a national event that affects nearly no one in a personal way.

                          Considering I do not think he should be on Twitter at all, I'd have to disagree. But yeah, there can be a lot worse things.

                            The point is that you can say whatever you want about Mr. Trump and it becomes truth.

                            Go ahead, try it.

                            Say he didn't do something, anything.

                            Someone will chime in, agreeing that he is a petulant child because of something you made up.

                            Really.

                              It's a shame that we are living in a time when the Left/democrats are finally beginning to realize their goal of total control and the end of our constitution. It's a shame the average democrat out there only get to see what THE PARTY allows them to see. If we still lived in a free country where information is not censored maybe they would have seen some of the numerous positive things Trump has said and done recently.

                              But here we are, on a roller coaster ride into totalitarianism, and the TDS sufferers are just happy to be going on a trip.

                                    True, but that's not my main point. Many people suffer from confirmation bias. You can also exhibit confirmation bias in the selection of reputable sources. But a pervasive theme in his communication is this folksy "many friends told me" thing. The thing his friends/military men/aliens/... told him is always of course supporting what he said all along, but my point is that he's seemingly deliberately avoiding any source of information that tries to provide more than anecdotal evidence for something, i.e., something that is based on an acknowledged corpus of data or comes from a reputable source (such as: a collection of experts in a field). Maybe that's part of his anti-elitism shtick?

                                      This recent one stuck out to me as being exemplary for how Trump accumulates knowledge confirmation bias.

                                      Fixed it for you.

                                      True, but that's not my main point. Many people suffer from confirmation bias. You can also exhibit confirmation bias in the selection of reputable sources. But a pervasive theme in his communication is this folksy "many friends told me" thing. The thing his friends/military men/aliens/... told him is always of course supporting what he said all along, but my point is that he's seemingly deliberately avoiding any source of information that tries to provide more than anecdotal evidence for something, i.e., something that is based on an acknowledged corpus of data or comes from a reputable source (such as: a collection of experts in a field). Maybe that's part of his anti-elitism shtick?

                                        Actually, I suffer from both TDS and Anti-TDS simultaneously. It's pretty bad.

                                          The replies to the tweet are quite revealing to what Twitter has enabled in the American psyche. Makes the original tweet look pristine.
