Is Trump suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect?

[Anonymous]

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with limited expertise in a particular area tend to overestimate their own knowledge and ability - like telling others that Tylenol causes autism... and believing it...

Like, for instance, they think they know a lot about medicine and the really know little or nothing.

[lightbulb27]

Caveat Emptor... let the buyer beware.

Only in America does one think so clearly about drugs and meds... oh I have a sniffle.. I'll take a tylenol... it's safe.

It be more appropriate to but a California type warning on every bottle of everything "Warning: possible to cause undu harm with unknown consequences. Could cause cancer and other issues, suggest not taking, but it's your call". Put that on cell phones or anything with bluetooth as well.

That's how Fd up our society is... we think red food dye and blue food dye and cheetos are safe and healthy.

Trump is a counter force to the stupidity that we have become.

He might be, what prez knows everything and about meds and such research. hell, no ceo does either. But I guarantee the CEO's of drug companies and their shareholders want you to believe shit that isn't true. And they work overtime to hide, mask and market for purpose of profit.

Now lets also start talking about the mind altering drugs people are prescribed by doctors as well...

Did I enter an episode of the twilight zone where the republicans are reigning in big business interests to protect citizens and the liberals are fighting for their freedom and rights because they believe big business science and marking engines? Maybe too much micro plastics coagulated in our brains?

Trump and MAGA are not the same Republican party of theBushes and Cheneys

[OneViewpoint]

Yes, the cognitive bias trap is the defining characteristic of the low IQ, ignorant Conservative brain they all share. tRump is the poster child. MAGA is the cult. White supremacists are the gutter trash. They are all examples of the Dunning Kruger effect. They all come up with hilariously flawed logic and think they are absolutely killing it never knowing that other people are laughing at them.

@oneviewpoint Thank you - very good answer! Please post a bit here or DM me as to how this relates to cognitive bias. I am not sure I understand the relationship.

[dustybiker2]

And I will post it again.

He's always been like that. I think that he feels inferior if he's not better or more educated than someone else, so he always acts like an expert in everything. People know he's not, and a clear indication on that was shown in his McDonald's stunt during his campaign. He did not talk to anyone who was not rigorously vetted by his team. They couldn't ask questions beyond what they were told. They couldn't order, what they got was what was decided on beforehand. Trump was not allowed to take orders or prepare food. In essence he handed food out that was not asked for and was not asked any questions that he hadn't been prepped on. Anyone who has worked at any McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, or any other fast-food chain can tell you that his stunt was nothing like what they do.

The only thing Trump suffers from is:

- being a typical 'American' from the past

- being a physical coward

- small/weak dick issues

- lack of upbringing in a healthy family

- consumerism

- bad company

- absence of moral/humanitarian values

- relationship complications

- hunger

- greed

- an unfulfilled life regarding his achievements vs. ambitions

... and such.

In general: Trump suffers as much as those who have heard about his existence.

So its fair and square, I'd say.

Drumpf is repeating what he’s been told by people who actually have expertise. That’s how every president operates. Very few have been experts on any single topic. None have been experts in every issue that affects a nation of millions.
Not even the ones you voted for. Grow up.

[slatyb]

It's hard to tell whether he really believes his boasting or he just believes that his supporters will believe it.

[Asker]

@slatyb Good point. I think it is both. He is not very smart at all.

[Danzigdawson]

Trump is the reason why this formerly unfamiliar concept is now part of the common knowledge.

[exitseven]

Trump may not be a doctor but he knows a scam when he sees it. He has watched big drug companies get away with murder because they have spread so much money around. They own politicians from both parties and they can influence the government to pass legislation that benefits them regardless of the consequences. We just spent 4 years watching the our health organizations like the CDC, FDA and WHO go in the tank for big drug companies. Trump is going to get to the bottom of it.

[Asker]

Lol- He IS a scammer.

[exitseven]

and exactly what scam is he running? Getting a tax cut for the middle class?

[Asker]

Did you receive your tax cut yet?

[exitseven]

I will get it the next time I file my federal taxes. Probably next March

[Asker]

Sure, you will. Be sure to complain loudly here when you don't get it.

[exitseven]

there are 3 tax cuts that i am getting. I hit the trifecta.

[Asker]

So far, you have won the "naivety award" - nothing else.

[exitseven]

There is a 12K deduction on social security, the SALT deduction has been raised to $40,000 and the original Trump tax cuts will remain permanently.. All tax cuts designed to help the middle class instead of treating the middle class like a cash cow.

[Asker]

uh huh. Let me know when you get the money.

[exitseven]

If you were not an ANON I would text you with a picture of the refund check.

[Asker]

Do you already have the refund check?

[Asker]

I was saying that I could DM you a way for you to send it to me, but let's wait and see if you actually get it one of these days.

[DrPepper12]

Yes and no. It's more a manifestation of sociopathic narcissism than D-K

[Agape93]

Yeap. That or he's just retarded.
