Expert on persuasion techniques here. Donald Trump is a genius. Listen up.
>The door-in-the-face (DITF) 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 persuader's face. The respondent is then more likely to agree to a second, more reasonable request, compared to the same reasonable request made in isolation.
DITF is a technique well known to Donald Trump. It is a technique that he has utilized not only throughout his life but more notably throughout this campaign. For example, Trump's original "ban on all Muslims entering the United States" has now been replaced with a ban on "citizens from countries that have been compromised by terrorism." Such a proposal, despite being functionally similar to the original, has received widespread support from the public due to not only how it was rephrased, but more importantly by the fact that it was offered as a moderate, more palatable policy in comparison to a more extreme option. This is the essence of DITF, and we are witnessing Donald perform this on the nation once again.
Donald Trump knows that a general election pivot is necessary. He knows that continuing the strategy he used during the primaries will result in a loss of historic proportions. So why has he not yet performed this "pivot"? Why is he still making inflammatory comments that he knows the media, which is overwhelmingly stacked against him, will exploit?

Because he also recognizes another fact -- appearing "presidential" is the only thing that his campaign is missing, and due to his life of straight shooting, no bullshit, offensive manner of speaking, appearing presidential is not something he's very good at . Further compounding this problem is that even if Trump were to act as presidential as he possibly could, he would still appear unsophisticated and amateurish compared to Hillary Clinton, who has spent her entire adult life learning and practicing what to say and how to say it in order to give an appearance of intelligence, competence, and reliability. Even though the majority of Americans know Hillary is a liar, and they know her policies have been failures, right now they prefer her simply because she looks and acts the part. That's how powerful the art of persuasion is. Human rationality can be completely bypassed through certain manners of behavior and speaking styles and Clinton, as well as politicians throughout history, have exploited this well.
So Trump has a conundrum. He knows his policies are popular. He knows Americans want drastic change. He knows they desperately want to choose someone other than Hillary Clinton. But he also knows he'll never be able to deliver his message as well as Clinton can deliver hers.

if trump suddenly and violently strangled the life force out of seven niggers live on television, would you be more or less inclined to vote for him?
Also Kek approves this message, never forget to praise him.
Bentley Brooks
it's not really genius. all politicians do it. they always have. them doing it is what has given the word "rhetoric" such a negative connotation.
Colton Stewart
He could kill a man everyday from now until election day and I would still vote for him.

I think we have strayed from Kek recently and that is partly for the bad luck we've been having with shills and Trump.
We need to glorify HIM in order for us to reach glory.

Chase Reyes
But he also knows how to perform DITF. And he is performing it as follows:
>The persuader attempts to convince the respondent to comply by making a large request that the respondent will most likely turn down Donald Trump is trying to convince the American people to elect him as their President. By acting as unpresidential, unsophisticated, and as childish as possible, he knows that this is a request that the majority of Americans will turn down (and they are currently turning it down).
>The respondent is then more likely to agree to a second, more reasonable request, compared to the same reasonable request made in isolation. Donald will then present himself, likely within the next week or two, in the most presidential manner he can possibly muster. And the American people will eat it up. Trump will likely remain 10 points ahead for the rest of the election once this kicks in. Because Trump has now created a scenario in which "Presidential" Donald Trump will no longer be compared to "Presidential" Hillary Clinton -- he will instead be compared to "Unresidential" Donald Trump. And compared to this Trump, the one we saw in the primary and, more notably, post-convention this new "Presidential" Donald Trump will be a breath of fresh air. He'll speak in full sentences, not streams on consciousness. He'll stay on topic, not wander towards irrelevant inconveniences. And, most importantly, he'll act like the leader of the Republican Party instead of a Hillary plant who wants to watch it sink to the bottom of the ocean.
This campaign will be studied for generations.

I love how when Hillbros post about the psychology of Trump supporters it's liberal voodoo and science (a bad word for trumplets), but when Trump supporters do it its 4th dimensional chess. You shills have gotten out of hand.

It's hard to keep your faith through trying times. But we have to remember that all things are keks will. He is the source. He is the light. Even when it's dark we must still always praise him. Sup Forums has stopped and Sup Forums is being punished.

Maybe he'll cut his hair ? Think about it, if he had a military buzzcut and a dead serious look he would look like the generals in the movies. But idk about the image change thing, could be detrimental.

Who censors their own post? You're either a shill or the worst kind of leaf, maybe both.
Eli Cox
No problem. You can look throughout his campaign and you'll see DITF manifest itself in various ways
I already posted it, friend.
Keep the faith
Nah he won't do that. Physical appearance is much less important than the appearance that you project i.e. confidence, likability, intelligence.
Jaxon Sanchez
OP, by any chance have you been watching Maria Konnikova's videos lately?

Jose Wilson
Interesting theory actually. What made you come to that conclusion?
he's friends with scott adams and has a good sense of humor. i think he's a secret trump supporter
Sebastian Scott
Nigga im voting trump. I just asked how he came to that conclusion
Nolan Nguyen
I WANT TO BELIEVE
Christian Johnson
Fuck you shill.
Juan Martinez
I really hope that this plays out as it you have said. It would truly be epic and prove that Trump thinks beyond the surface level of most things.
That said, anyone who thinks that this election is over after one bad week with three months left is delusional. If it were two weeks? Yea, absolutely panic. But Trump has enough time to shift the situation once again into his favor.
Brandon Gonzalez
There is not just one deal. Each is separate new deal. Also the media will use anything he says to spread fear, which proves point that the system is out get him.
The media doesn't want you to see this: Muslims for trumps pray at RNC youtu.be/KZHphdcMnew
Before 1930's child labor laws used cameras to popularize hard work & suffering as victimism, a kid could be treated like slaves in factories & farms to support their un employed parents.
James Evans
I haven't, but I plan on picking up the Confidence Game pretty soon.
Because once you understand the basics of psychological and persuasion techniques, and have an understanding of politics and political games, it's easy to combine the two and take a peak behind the scenes. Trump makes it easy though.

>That said, anyone who thinks that this election is over after one bad week with three months left is delusional. If it were two weeks? Yea, absolutely panic. But Trump has enough time to shift the situation once again into his favor. Exactly. Even if Trump was a legit idiot just flailing around the way he's been doing it's likely that the polls would close or even reverse 3 or 4 times between now and November. But this isn't the case, and once Trump makes his switch, he'll maintain a lead.

THey just reported on fox news like not even 30 min ago that Trump insiders are expecintg a MAJOR change in the campaign
Its happening
Nathaniel Moore
Ids habbening!?
Caleb Bennett
It's obvious that Trump is just using human psychology he learned from his tv show in order to become president but it's a huge gamble. But as long as he doesn't fuck up again in November, it's acceptable.
Jason Torres
Cruz get out
Aaron Gray
>Donald will then present himself, likely within the next week or two, in the most presidential manner he can possibly muster.
I really hope he doesn't, because then I'd consider him a president. Just like the rest before him, he should remain no-bullshit-Trump
Joseph Lee
Idk, he didn't look so great in the DNC leaks. Taking interview questions directly from the Hillary people.
He didn't learn this from his show, he likely has always had this innate understanding and has utilized it throughout his business career
He will still be no-bullshit Trump, but he'll sound intelligent while doing it. The offensive, no shits giving Trump only appeals to a certain portion of the population. I'd say 15% of the population actually enjoys Trump's offensiveness and 20% just take it in stride because they agree with the overall message and policies of his campaign. The remaining 15-20% that he needs to win want someone who will tell it like it is, but who will do so without sounding like some streetwise asshole that was picked up off the sidewalk and placed in front of a microphone.
Zachary Thompson
Looking forward to november. Also, it was a good read and interesting. Thanks OP
Sebastian Nguyen
Hi, CTR
Justin Phillips
>but who will do so without sounding like some streetwise asshole that was picked up off the sidewalk and placed in front of a microphone.
THIS.
All the media right now is picking on QUOTES AND SOUNDBYTES. If trump can drop the talk, the media wont have anything to say about him
Evan James
Í hope you get bashed in school you retarded faggot.
Liam Evans
Praise the frog God
Thomas Evans
So OP youre implying to me that the entire US media narrative and corporation effort will crumble and fall or conform to survive if trump goes that direction?
Also what sort of non election outsome will occur during this season? I like to pick your brain on this strategic standpoint
