Scott Adams deserves some credit for recognizing how persuasive Trump has been going all the way back to August 2015. That said, his prediction wasn't totally on target. From "Trump's Third Act"[1]:
> I predict Trump gets at least 65% of the votes in the general election.
and:
> Trump will do what only Trump can do: He will change his mind based on better data.
Adams predicted a landslide assuming that Trump would have a third act in which he became a candidate that more people could relate to.
Credit to Scott Adams for recognizing Trump's ability to pull this off when many were still considering him to be a joke candidate. I didn't really see the change in Trump that Adams predicted, and this election was no landslide... Trump had a solid margin in the electoral college but appears to have lost the popular vote.
