If you've ever read Thinking Fast and Slow, Trump is great at appealing to System 1. He's spent his entire lifetime focusing on his branding and what people think of him.

Chapelle's SNL monolog about Trump is pretty spot on too.

However, the fundamental ideas of System 1 and 2 have made me rethink so many things.
