This is your brain on Donald Trump

CNNMoney's Brian Stelter went to Ph.D. student Sam Barnett's lab outside Chicago to see which candidate voters brains agree on regardless of party affiliation.

Facepalming so fucking hard right now. CNN is awful.

It's the brain experiencing a rare, fresh breath of air. It's amazing how the mind and gut react to truth vs bullshit.

I'd like to see this study re-done during the latest 2024 Trump - Kamala debate, I think we will see a HUGE difference than what you did in 2016, since so many people are registering to vote after the debate made things surge for Kamala and made Trump a loser, especially during his statement about Haitian immigrants eating dogs and cats...

plot twist. trump is the one with the implant

It measures the amount of brain cells dying.

Donald Trump is such a unifier that he brings people together on the fucking NEUROLOGICAL level.

[haiggoh]

he activates something in the primitive most ancient part of our brains. "Me strong! Me leader!" That has always worked for millions of years.

This show how we all connect to Trumps HUMANITY instead of being manipulated by the demagogy and Lies of the Political puppets.

"we will learn from this and be able to shape more effective messaging in the future"
in plain english:
We'll be able to manipulate the public and their thoughts better, in the future

I have never in my life watched the apprentice not a single episode

[Vinus]

Well to be a clean case study you would have to take people who hadn't seen any debate before....

Pretty ground breaking stuff in the field of mind control. The government will be on this like a dirty shirt

Every time HRC opens her mouth I want to switch off the TV.

[MK-ptzt]

The brain lights up because what Trump has to say and how he say it is appealing and the politicians all talk and come across the same.

[americaneric]

This report is unbiased. It's not for or against Trump; it's about Sam Barnett, and his method of using neuroscience to learn more about how to communicate in a more engaging and effective way. Some of the knee-jerk reactions I'm seeing in these comments are unjustifiable.

The blond at 0:48 caused me to have a brainwave spike, especially as she's smearing that KY Jelly on her fingers.

[LovesToParty]

It's "all Trump, all the time."

[nanometers]

Genuinely curious, what is with the dislikes with the video? Is something wrong with Stelter's study? Or is it because it was uploaded on CNN?

[thomasschaller]

Could you do the same test with a democratic debate for more study?

[justinsnyder]

its funny because this video actually helps Donald Trump. They explain how it is because of his TV acting skills, however, he says what the people like to hear, the truth. And the truth my friends, will set you free.
