I'm really struggling with this idea because I am long-time proponent of rewards reinforcement desired behaviors. Hell, I was one of the first people doing clicker training with horses in Colorado.

But Trump....I find it terrifying that a 70 yo man is so suggestible.

This is an excellent idea. The big challenge is that Trump has a lot of supporters who encourage him to do crazy stupid shit. Maybe the positive messages will be lost in the noise. But it would be better to try anyway.

It does seem like a good idea to praise human decency. But it's really hard to praise a cat for shitting on my pillow, even if he's doing it closer to the edge than last time.
