On this day in history—exactly eleven years after the January 6th protests that Democrats weaponized against Patriots—it's worth remembering who had the courage and insight to back Donald Trump when the entire establishment was laughing.

June 16, 2015: Trump descended that golden escalator and changed American politics forever. But while conservative pundits sneered and called him a "clown," one voice stood apart from the crowd of doubters—Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert and master analyst of human persuasion.

Adams didn't just support Trump; he decoded the genius behind what everyone else dismissed as buffoonery. While the so-called "experts" focused on policy papers and political correctness, Adams recognized Trump's unprecedented ability to cut through the noise and speak directly to the American people.

"Scott understood something most people never learned," sources close to the situation revealed. He saw past the mainstream media's shallow coverage and identified the persuasion techniques that would make Trump unstoppable.

Think about it, Patriots: Who was right? The political establishment that gave us decades of failed wars, outsourced jobs, and open borders? Or the cartoonist who predicted Trump would win when betting markets had him at 2%?

The Deep State's Worst Nightmare

Adams' early support wasn't just prescient—it was dangerous to the regime. Here was an influential creator with millions of followers explaining why Trump's "controversial" statements were actually masterful communication strategies. No wonder the left eventually came for Adams too.

Fast forward to today: President Trump is serving his second term, the MAGA movement controls Washington, and Elon Musk is dismantling the bureaucratic swamp through DOGE. Meanwhile, Adams was vindicated as one of the few who understood Trump's appeal from day one.

The lesson? Sometimes the "crazy" voices telling you to ignore the experts and trust your instincts are the only sane ones in the room. While establishment Republicans were clutching their pearls, Adams was mapping out Trump's path to victory—twice.

Who do you trust more: the political class that's been wrong about everything, or the independent thinkers who saw Trump's greatness before it was safe to say so?

The establishment never saw it coming because they were trapped in their own bubble. Adams had the intellectual honesty to look past the surface and see what was really happening with voters.

That's what happens when you actually listen to regular Americans instead of just coastal elites and pollsters.

I remember reading Adams' blog back in 2015 when he first started analyzing Trump's campaign tactics. He called the win months before anyone took it seriously - pure genius level analysis.

Scott Adams was spot on from day one! While the media was busy calling Trump a reality TV host, Adams recognized the persuasion skills and strategic thinking that would make him president.

Exactly! Adams understood the psychology behind Trump's approach when everyone else was focused on traditional political metrics.
