People don't like to admit their mistakes

Con Man Don: what behavioral science teaches us

Quite an interesting read on how the campaign was a big scam, and how it continues on. And I guess with all that accusing going on, it is probably true. Although Trump probably never trained as a con-man, or intended to be one, how he ran his campaign, and his presidency, is a good example of the kind of person he is.

And the worst thing is, people don't like to admit their mistakes. Most people don't have the courage to face up to themselves, to admit that they were wrong. Instead, they will defend their decisions (no matter how wrong, or nonsensical) even if they know that they had made a wrong choice.

So now we are stuck with this guy for the next four years. Four years of watching The Apprentice, except that this time, it is on every channel, and there is no way to switch to watching something else if you don't like the show.
