Can Trump Supporters Be Deceived Twice? Author Of 'Black Swan' Thinks So: 'There Is A Very Large Collection Of Suckers...'

‘Black Swan’ author Nassim Nicholas Taleb appeared to take a swipe at supporters of ex-President Donald Trump, suggesting they could easily be deceived multiple times by the same individual.

What Happened: Taleb, in a tweet, commented on the trustworthiness of certain individuals, stating,

“So last time I didn’t deliver but, trust me, next time I will. There is a very large collection of suckers who can be fooled twice by the very same person and in the very same circumstances.” This appeared to be a veiled reference to Trump’s supporters, especially in light of recent polls showing their unwavering trust in the former president.

Why It Matters: Taleb’s tweet comes on the heels of recent Benzinga reports highlighting the immense trust Trump’s supporters place in him.

One survey even indicated that 71% of Trump’s supporters trust him more than their own friends and family, who garnered a trust rating of 63%. This unwavering trust is evident despite Trump’s lead narrowing in the latest Republican 2024 election polls, as indicated by another Benzinga article.

It remains to be seen how these sentiments will play out in the upcoming 2024 elections, especially given the political landscape’s dynamic nature.
