So is it my imagination or is the Summer of Love not turning out quite the way I had hoped? I had two predictions which I didn't realize until recently were in conflict. In other words, I had predicted two things that couldn't both be true, and I had acted like maybe they could. So let me start by telling you how dumb I am.

I had two predictions. They can't both be true. One, I think, was more wishful thinking. I said that this would be the Summer of Love and people would be nicer to each other. Well, that's clearly wrong. But I had another prediction that seems to be spot-on. So if there's any lesson here, you should make two predictions that are completely opposite because one of those damn predictions is going to be right.

The other one was that when President Trump got a good result with North Korea, they would cause Trump Derangement Syndrome to kick in to a higher level against all odds. Now if I said to you, all right, Mr. Logic, Mr. Irrational, or Mrs. or Miss, whoever you are, you're a rational person, tell me what do you think will happen to Trump Derangement Syndrome when the economy is great that they didn't expect, President Trump gets good progress on North Korea that they didn't expect, and importantly the Russia collusion investigation fizzles into nothing? What would be the logical outcome of such a thing, Mister Logical, Miss Logical?

You're probably saying to yourself, well logically I guess all the Trump Derangement Syndrome would dissipate and people would just start getting reasonable after that. But what did I tell you would happen? The opposite. I told you that the better President Trump does, especially when he does things that are so unexpectedly better such as progress in North Korea, and if he starts getting some progress with trade deals — and I would say that he has gotten some progress — if he starts getting progress with trade deals, it's gonna be full-out bouncing-off-the-wall lunacy. And we're just about there.

So to reiterate, the Summer of Love did not come out the way I had hoped. To be honest that was more of a I was hoping to promote it more than predicted. But the actual prediction was that cognitive dissonance would make people crazier, not less crazy.
