Gad Saad's prognostication

Psychologist Gad Saad, a well-known tweeter who also runs the popular The Saad Truth podcast, is asked what he thinks about the upcoming US presidential election. His answer is worth a listen, especially his "sniffing the cork" metaphor from Arabic culture.


Basically: you might not like Trump as a person, but you ought to agree with his decisions and policies. This is approximately the position I find myself in: Trump is a despicable asshole, but I can't argue with most of his choices as a leader.

That's where I've always been too. In 2016 the choice was a crook or a clown. This year we get to pick an idiot or an asshole. At least we know what to expect from the asshole now...
