> ...will be elected president

But Trump was elected president. Twice. So maybe Adams was right? Or what did you mean with "hill climbing controversy"?

I should have clarified for people who had the good fortune to not be exposed to these posts, but that was usually his lead-in to his ultra toxic writing. i.e. it was an engaging hook that led to more engaging trolling

Hmm...but people claimed Adams was crazy for saying these things about Trump...and yet Adams was right.

(The same) people also call him crazy (or "toxic") for those other writings. Maybe those other writings were right as well?

Seems at least plausible.

And yeah, I also thought it was completely impossible for Trump to get elected even once. Never mind twice. I was wrong.

Scott Adams taught ChatGPT to put humans into an instant bliss-state. "Seems at least plausible"?
